Music

I've seen that album in stores, but never had enough money to buy it, as it was priced quite high, and then I always forgot about it.<P>Thanks for the site that provided audio links, though! It's definitely really interesting music. Sounds very east-indian, or at least based more so on modes than the major-minor tonality most are used to. <P>But I can't really picture it with Lord of the Rings, mainly because I really thought that Howard Shore's music suited the story so well. So at this point, it's hard to imagine anything else to go with it. <P>Also, I kind of imagine a different type of music to go along with the story and this just doesn't even fit into that type. This music reminds me of ragas/jazz/electronica whereas the music I associate with Lord of the Rings is much more traditional, using flutes, violins, and horns.<P>Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the music itself, but I just can't imagine it being played along to Lord of the Rings. So I guess no, I don't think Peter Jackson should have included it in the films. I think the music played in the films was appropriate and very well done.
