Obsessed with the soundtracks - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I believe that the tracks on TTT are arranged in another way than they come in the movie. Compared to FotR, TTT have a lot more cuts as it is following 3, sometimes 4 stories at the same time. If you just let the soundtrack follow the movie, you'd probably get a very incoherent piece of music, that wouldn't work by itself. So I think Howard Shore re-arranged it to get an album that could stand for itself, musically. He didn't have to do that with the FotR soundtrack as this movie worked very differently in it's story telling.<P>Just my two cents.
