For Tolkien fans...

[zouzounaki]

Medieval-flavoured band Broceliande has put their album of Tolkien music back into print. A lot of the sets were actually written by Marion Zimmer Bradley (who was a great fan and wrote some interesting fanfic as well, my favorite being The Parting of Arwen) taking Tolkien's songs and poems from the books. There are quite a few albums to do the same, but this is by far my favorite and I was always a bit sorry that it had a very limited print run and was generally ignored. check it out:

Aah, that's beautiful! I hadn't heard any of those before -- but now I'd rather like to obtain a copy of the album, they're quite gorgeous songs.

Sighs, LJ is so fail because I had no idea anyone had answered! Notif plz, LJ! Anyhoo, it is an awesome CD, and it rules my soul, it's true! :-D I'd also recommend Margaret Davis's solo album, "Lady of the Flowers" (http://www.flowinglass.com/princess/disc.html)--gorgeous stuff!

I'll be checking that out! Thank you! And thank you for the excellent Christmas card too! I'm extremely impressed that you were organized enough to get them done! Gold star for you! *genuflects*

That album owns me, totally; other than the Tolkien fan in me just loving to hear the songs and poems put to music wonderfully as they have, they just plain beautiful, Tolkien fan or not!

LOL, it was a pretty close call with those cards; I did sort of put it off until the last minute and breathed a sigh of relief that they'd reached youse guys on the west coast before Christmas! Yay, I can haz gold star! :-D
