About the Album

 

With the final film of Peter Jacksons exciting "Lord of the Rings" movies "The Return of the King" complete, now is the time to complement your Tolkien collection with this alternative movie-style soundtrack.

"The Lord of the Rings" - What a magnificent story!

Probably the single most influential fantasy story of all time, J.R.R. Tolkien knew how to infuse the magic of imagination, to creatively weave a rich and emotive tapestry - a fantasy tale which would last for years because of its immense depth and beauty.

Like you, as a Tolkien enthusiast, and ourselves as musicians who have grown up reading Tolkiens stories, we wanted to express some of that wonder - to re-create the world of Tolkien in sound and melodies for you to enjoy.

We knew it had to have an epic quality to it.

For our own enjoyment it had to be mystical.... magical.... alive.... grand.... and .....frightening!

We believe it holds these qualities for those who listen, either while you are reading the great books themselves, or simply to escape to another world while relaxing in a darkened, candlelit room.

"One Ring" was started in 1994, and took 4 years to compose in spare time between the normal activites at MetroGnome Studios, and therefore it precedes the current Tolkien wave of interest initiated by the Peter Jackson movies, and yet it has a timeless quality.

The "One Ring" project was a collaborative effort built upon ideas and suggestions from people all over the world who listened to early versions of the tracks, and provided feedback and encouragement for the overall sound of the album. Thanks to all who contributed.

We sincerely hope you enjoy listening to the FREE MP3 tracks which you can download using the links above, and that you will also consider buying the CD for the complete musical experience. Then you can enjoy the music as it is meant to be heard, in full, on "The One Ring CD" from Metrognome Studios™. The tracks on the CD flow together seamlessly from one track to another so you can turn off the lights, sit back, relax and lose yourself in Tolkiens world - Bookmark our web site now so you may return later!

The "One Ring" album stands on its own merit with many customer testimonials. It is in a class of its own with a unique blend of classical and modern instruments, which together form an exciting yet melodic blend that accurately conjurs up the atmosphere of the great Tolkien tale.

Bonus Tracks

 

When you purchase the CD you will be given immediate access details to download 2 EXTRA FULL LENGTH exclusive bonus tracks in MP3 format. These are protected by a password on a special page. The tracks are TOM BOMBADIL and an older version of LOTHLORIEN. These tracks are not available anywhere else and are ONLY available to owners of the Limited Edition "One Ring" CD.

"Thank you very much for giving me the password to download those 2 bonus
tracks. The two tracks are great!", - David Whitney, USA

Tom Bombadil

We love the character of Tom Bombadil, and many Tolkien fans also feel he is an important part of the Lord of the Rings story, and yet somehow Tom is a bit of a misfit, and is often left out of musicians or film-makers interpretations of the Lord of the Rings. Some say he is the alter-ego of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien himself!

When we composed this track we chose an unusual 5/4 time signature to suggest Tom's charismatic, bubbly, happy-go-lucky personality. However Tom is not all that he initially seems to be, and there is a darker, more mysterious side to him. Towards the end of this track you hear the ring spinning, and we pictured this section from the chapter "In the House of Tom Bombadil" as our inspiration for the track.....

"Show me the precious ring!" he said suddenly in the midst of the story: and Frodo, to his own astonishment, drew out the chain from his pocket, and unfastening the Ring handed it at once to Tom. It seemed to grow larger as it lay for a moment on his big brown-skinned hand. Then suddenly he put it to his eye and laughed. For a second the hobbits had a vision, both comical and alarming, of his blue eye gleaming through a circle of gold. Then Tom put the Ring around the end of his little finger and held it up to the candle-light. For a moment the hobbits noticed nothing strange about this. Then they gasped. There was no sign of Tom disappearing!

Lothlorien (Take 2)

Although "Lothlorien" is one of the tracks on the Limited Edition CD, we composed 3 versions before the piece had the royal poise, dignity and atmosphere of Elronds beautiful land and city. The track that we have provided for your listening pleasure here is the second take which had a more lively sound, but which we considered too short. Well its up to you to make up your mind about it, and we would welcome your thoughts on this. We hope you enjoy Lothlorien Take 2, as much as Take 3 the final mix of Lothlorien on the CD.
