SID INFO
HVSC path: MUSICIANS/D/Deenen_Charles/Lord_of_the_Rings.sid
Title: Lord of the Rings
Composer: Charles Deenen
Copyright: 1990 Interplay
Subtunes: 9
SID model: MOS6581

Play 'Lord of the Rings' on DeepSID

STIL comment	The corresponding game for this music was never released for the Commodore 64 due to Interplay deciding to shift the game to newer platforms in 1990. Deenen's C64 efforts weren't in vain, however, as he was able to reuse much of the music and began a new phase of his career. In a 2006 posting, Deenen's reflects: "If I hadn't done the C64 Lord of the Rings stuff I wouldn't have gotten my first 'full-time' job in the US. I'd probably be struggling in Holland now trying to make it as a programmer or music guy."

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

vurtx:
Its more like the Amiga version than the SiD, and thats a good thing, this should have been used in the movies its that good, fantastic work!
Zilog:
Simply beautiful
_steve_:
For some reason this tune reminds me of something you'd find in Babylon 5, but its very emotive and well executed.
infamous:
Typical markus affair… This is about %1 shy of being just very good… But that tiny little sum… Makes all the difference… Wtg markus and welcome back to the fray once more!
mahoney:
Markus, you're awesome! The singing fits perfectly with the song!
Dan:
Took me a good few listens to upgrade this from very good to outstanding, there IS something missing and spectacular thats the norm in an MS mix but right now im lovin it! (not like mcds tho cos then it would only get an average)
Skitz:
Welcome back Markus!! Mary Knickle has Lovely Lovely Lovely voice!
Mitch van Hayden:
Outstanding! Could hear it again and again and… (Klasse Arbeit, Markus!)
Chappers:
Like Dan, it took me a few listens before I really started to enjoy this. Sounds like a big budget orchestral soundtrack made for the LOTR film. Not as good as Glyn's Rastan but wonderful all the same!😊
lonegunman:
I love this… Really… An THEVOICE… Who the f*** sings that???
tko:
This track just rocks the house. Aural perfection.😉
Melaure:
Not perfect instruments and good arrangement not far from Lord of the Ring
Dumper:
Markus can do no wrong, another top remix.
Makke:
The look & feel of this arrangement made me think of Baldur's Gate. This is almost an outstanding (as usual with Markus), but there's something missing… And I can't put my finger on what.
ifadeo:
Another great remix by markus, with some great vocals…
romeo_knight:
Love those strings and drums! Sounds much more realistic than Doyen IMO. And I know what's missing, Makke: Battle-SFX!!
LMan:
Yes, Markus can do better. Nevertheless this has some great elements, and the singing is beautiful (Is this elvish or latin or?) 😊
Mecandes:
This is cool! Only thing keeping me from voting Outstanding is that I find the switch between the softer vocals to the epic orchestration to be a bit much -- each would be Outstanding as it's own piece, but together, something's no
omoroca:
For me this is only average. But I'll give one point extra bc when I first heard it without knowing the title, it made me think of Lord of the Rings, which is a pretty good achievement. Sounds Elbian!
bobmil42:
Nice vocals.
Waz:
Nice effort all round. It's quite good to start with, but the whole thing sounds a little sparse - needs something to fill the room with. I'm nitpicking I know, but it didn't quite move me.
Tas:
Reminds me of glyn's Rastan mixed with a bit of glyn's Times of Lore, but without any real punch or attack. It's nice and all but misses out on a catchy melody
anaconda:
Original. I don't like synth-orchestras, but this is not that bad.
M.A.F:
Good but no cigar. Sounds alot like a Glyn R Brown mix but without… Dont know what it is… Lovely vocal at the start though, wish I could sing… Like that!
eliot:
Some disturbing clicks - a master like markus should avoid such. The trumpets do not sound well too (steril). Does not really fit the original SID.
