[Kransha]

Fordim, put me down for Loreena McKennit as well. I'd say those tones have the proper 'foreign' feel, so that we do not become grounded in Howard Shore's ever familiar canon-musicality. We're doing a different thing, a different beat, and we need a different tune to carry us along.

But, might I also suggest a mere sprinkling of Bizet, for the more exciting and lively moments, and a tempermental douse of Rimsky-Korskov for the...umm...exoticism?

My 2 kopeks, take and/or leave, as you will.

P.S. Each day my patience thins as to the beginning of this game. T'would be best, Mighty Fordim, to be apt and swift with thy arrangements - if thou knowest what my meaning is (I shan't be a-wanting to send you the way of Rosenkranz and Guildenstern).[/bad-shakespearean-english]
