Here's one of the tracks already!

Forth Eorlingas in mp3 format

I need to get home to listen to this!

[maquiladora]

And here's another track!

The Riders Of Rohan!

[HairOfTheDog]

Cool maq! - listening now! Ecurbh ping!

[ecurbh]

Ring Ping!!

[2Jedismom]

Any more tracks available? Forth Eorlingas is my favorite of the two...

[ecurbh]

Man oh man, I just listened to Forth Eorlingas and am now one big goosebump. That moment at about 2:15 when the singer comes in is just sublime. I can picture Theoden leading the charge at Helm's Deep. Do I really have to wait 35 days?!?

[maquiladora]

Here's another track from The Two Towers Soundtrack!

Beautiful and very moving piece....

Evenstar.

[maquiladora]

Sorry, bad link, try this instead.

[maquiladora]

Actually, despite the name of the mp3, I'm not sure if this is Evenstar or Gollum's Song.

Be sure to check out the station live sometime after 12:20pm Eastern today to hear another track!

I've been listening to these two tracks for the past 20 minutes. IMO Howard Shore's score for The Ride of the Rohorrim battle in Return of the King will be awesome. That scene is in my head and I can see how the Rohorrim themes in these two MP3's can be used to titanic effect for it.

[maquiladora]

I agree, it's going to be fantastic. Just throw your mind back to the epic opening track on the Fellowship soundtrack, and imagine the scope and depth and feeling that will be conjured again in Return Of The King.

I am awaiting 'The White Rider' to be uploaded. It might happen in a few minutes, it might happen in a day, but it's on the way.
I'm really looking forward to hearing 'Isengard Unleashed' from this soundtrack too.

[maquiladora]

By the way, have you heard this track yet? It's either Gollum's Song or Evenstar, there's some debate about it.

Here.

[Thud]

Sounds like Evenstar. It's boring. Gollum would have some discordance in it.

[condi2008]

Do you know who the singer is? Not Enya, I know.>:(

[maquiladora]

Here's The White Rider.

Enjoy!

[Thud]

A thousand thanks.

Thank you. I suspect this information is old news to most of y'all; but we newcomers (read: my 12 year-old twins) appreciate your bringing us up to speed.

Brand new track early this morning, I haven't heard it yet but I have a link, seemingly some people who have heard this say it's the best weve heard yet.
I have to say, The Riders Of Rohan is growing on me with every listen. Powerful stuff. I wonder what this is like...

The Hornburg
