🎶Music for Middle Earth

[Olorgando]

Orc Music....

Second-tier band - at best (but not bad at that)
The real monsters were Motörhead, Purple, Sabbath and Zeppelin. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

 

[Tulukastaz]

I figured this would fit here... 25 minutes of "kalevala" music from Finland.

if you don't like METAL or 25 minutes ... here's the traditional Kalevala melody on Kantele = beautiful. I was actually going to post this but found the above one.

Aldarion, please. you can't be serious!
This is the original:

I found because it was a "medieval cover". EDIT:

... I wasn't referring to the band, I was referring to the song.
And I can't respect musical opinions of anyone who rates Motörhead over Bon Scott era AC/DC. 🤣


I do like this movie edit to Deep Purple's Soldier of Fortune...

Watch the entirety of Rush’s blistering performance at the Capitol Theater in 1976

We're dipping into the Far Out vault to bring you the full show of one of the seminal moments in the careers of Geddy Lee, Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson, AKA Rush

Saw Rush 3 times in 1976... all shows in the Paramount Theatre in Seattle. The one early in the year was the 'All The World's A Stage' tour, and the two later in th eyear were this 2112 tour.


... and in the 'ear-bleed' genre, I bring you Fornost. More Orc music after the sack of the namesake city in Arthedain in Third Age 1974...

...and a mellower tune from Fornost Arnor who are obviously Tolkien fans....

 

[Halasían]

Just watched this 'lockdown' oonline live version of Excalibre by Trobar de Morte... to me, they have a 'Middle Earthy' sound to them.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

On the shores of the Sea of Rhun?

 

[Halasían]

On the shores of the Sea of Rhun?

That's pretty good. Why Rhun though? Why not.

This has a nice 'Rhuadurian' feel to it with the Hillmen and the Dunedain in the Ettenmoors in winter...

[Hisoka Morrow]

I recommend this song for all Godnorain and Rohan armed forces XDD

 

[Miguel]

Ainulindalë fragments?. Streams from the thought of Eru?.

I'm puzzled myself why I'm posting this - except that it's better than "Smoke otw", their biggest hit (as so many of their at least Mark III songs are) ...

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Yes, a bit puzzling -- for the Middle-earth thread!

 

[Olorgando]

Yes, a bit puzzling -- for the Middle-earth thread!

Saruman - machine? Something along the line of Treebeard's thoughts, maybe ... 🤔

 

[Aldarion]

One of my favourite artists, and this might just be one of my favourite songs. I already posted it in the Official Music Thread, but what the...:

And in a Pelargirian Tavern in the 4th Age....

I don't know how this wonderful live gem of Pearl has eluded me for nine years! Bloody YouTube algorithm...

This was at Farieworlds Harvest Festival in Eugene Oregon in September 2011. The lead singer is Rairda who was in the band from 2010 to 2012. I'm not sure who the dancer is but Oregon has quite a dynamic bellydance community...

DP has many songs better than Smoke otw.

Btw i think this sounds very ME-ish:

SOTW was DP's biggest singles hit, which may say something about the charts of the time (and not favorable at that for my tastes then and now).
Having listened to “Maybe I’m A Leo” again, I think it impressed me as being smething the Dwarves might like – slower-paced, ponderous, like a hammer hitting an anvil, and Jon Lord’s Hammond organ staying in the deeper registers.

Btw i think this sounds very ME-ish:

Hmyes, though it is definitely Celtic-flavored.
Galway ... that brings back memories of an early-1990s three-week vecation in Ireland (with own, left-side drive car, no less!), where Galway was the third leg (after Dublin and Cork). Memories relevant to my JRRT addiction, too, as it was there that I managed the largest haul of JRRT-related books, including up to half of my HoMe collection.
We don't seem to have bought any music CDs, though ...
