LOTRish Music!

[Saxony Tarn]

Laei, you're cool, and i'm just going to have to go home and dig out the CD copy that i discovered last year in some used-record store and write you a lengthy e-mail about it.

Or if you're cruising around your record stores, you will probably find Hawkwind under Imports (they're a British band) and the CD is entitled Chronicle of the Black Sword. Michael Moorcock & the band go way back, in fact, he even wrote a book about THEM (sort of to repay them for the album) entitled "Time of the HawkLords". (the same ex-boyfriend who turned me on to Hawkwind found this book in some used-bookstore; we both read it & found it a delightful little trip of whimsy)

i honestly don't know if Hawkwind ever did any Tolkein stuff, but since i don't pretend to be conversant with their full back catalog, who knows -- they just might.

speaking of other bands who go way back, there's always that lovely tune off Rush's second album, called "Rivendell"...

s.t.
