Fantasy music CDs

You can’t paint and watch  a movie at the same time, so during my LotR Extended Edition binge, I reach for audio while working on my High Elves and assorted other figures.

Besides the obvious ‘official’ LotR soundtracks, there’s also the soundtrack from the Ralph Bakshi cartoon version, David Arkenstone’s Middle Earth album, At Dawn in Rivendell by the Tolkien Ensemble (featuring Christopher Lee), Glass Hammer’s Middle Earth album, The Starlit Jewel  by Broceliande, Sings from Middle Earth by The Hobbitons, Gail Aldritch’s tribute to LotR , 3 CDs by harpist Kim Skovbye and a CD called Trilogy of Fantasy inspired by you-know-what….

When I’m through those, there are a bunch of harp and dulcimer Cds, mostly Irish or Irish-adjacent in tone and a good number of Midnight Syndicate and Nox Arcana offerings.

Always looking for more – any suggestions ?

Mostly Autumn (UK band ) has a 2001 album called Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings . Haven’t listened to it for quite a while but seem to remember really liking it .  MA are one of those Folk/Prog kind of bands that has had a large turnover in members over the years , but I must like them as I have about 8 of their albums .
