I have been to this site many times since July, and I have posted replies before, but I felt I had to do it one more time. Thanks for all your effort and hard work." Jason Robert Bogh, USA

"I have to tell you I have also never heard anything like it! It is absolutely amazing!!" Alexander Amonett, USA

"I received your CD, The One Ring, and was very pleased by it. The sounds and music that you have dreamt up and reproduced are some of the most wonderful I have ever heard, and fit in with Tolkien's world exactly. Thank you very much for the work and time everyone there has put into it" Tim Archer, USA

"Thank-you for letting me listen to the CD, I enjoyed it very much! The music has evoked many pictures and stories - all the sounds and samples are very atmospheric, and the rhythms imaginative. Much work and patience has gone into details such as harmonies and cross-overs. By the sound of it you had much fun doing this CD! I wish you both every luck with it and any future projects."

Comments before the One Ring CD was released

" Only had time to (download) listen to a couple of tracks but found them both to be exhilarating, hope the rest are as good. Thank-you. " David Belsten, UK

" The samples sound great. I'll love listening to the actual CD. I want a sample of the Gollum song!! " Mel Thivierge, Canada

" Hey, really great stuff. I found this site a while back and kept coming back to look for more audio files, and was finally rewarded when the next batch came through. From what I've heard the album should sound great. Congratulations to everyone who worked on the project and I hope it all goes really well. (There's been no word about it over here yet though... hint, hint) " Caolan O'Connor, Australia

" Excellent, love it! " Ben Schuster, USA

" Oh YEAH!!!! This rules!!! You guys kick asss! WOOOHOOOO!!!! This is one of the greatest days of my life!!!!! Are you going to do any inspired by anything in The Silmarillion?? Having now downloaded every sample available I can honestly say, THIS MUSIC ROCKS!!! All of it, and Shelobs Lair is probably best, although not by much. " Colin Stubbs, Australia

" What a splendid idea! I am just wild about anything to do with fantasy, Tolkien, or elves in particular. I listened to the sound clips you had on your site, and I loved them. I can tell that you have put in a lot of work, and it really shows. The Prancing Pony song fits perfectly with the storyline, and the details like the horse whinny in the song about the Ford of Bruinen was great. I'm thrilled that you would be inspired to do this. I hope I make it on your list. I am anxious for any information about this CD, or any other projects. " Hillary Moberly, USA

" Great! I would be very pleased if i get the CD. Thanx " Arvid Jurjaks, Sweden

" I wrote a mail in June and you kindly answer me that you'd mail to me when the cd was ready but I beg you: Don't forget my name 'cause i can't loose the opportunity to have it. I'll wait every day for an answer and I'm preparing my cd player for the magic music of your masterpiece. Thank you and hear you soon. Luca " Luca Redaelli

" Fantastic, can't wait to buy the whole CD. I especially liked "The Prancing Pony", it really captures the feeling and atmosphere from the book." Andreas, Sweden

thematic to the feeling of Tolkien's work. " Lee Miller, U.S.A.

" I've only listened to a bit of your music, but what I've heard completly blows my mind.... good times :) I love that big drum roll thingy in Threes Company... oh my gosh! " Nic, New Zealand

" I was very intrigued with this masterpiece! It just excites me more and more for the release of the upcoming (movie) trilogy!!!!! I can't wait until they both come out! I am always stopping by my favorite music store in the mall and asking if the CD has come in yet. I know it won't be out for a while still, but I still ask anyway if it has come in. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASE e-mail me immediately, the moment it hits the shelf at the music store, better yet before it hits the shelf! -one of many excited fans " Brian, U.S.A.

"You really felt you were there, it was very relaxing " Morten Antonsen, Norway

"I listened to only a few of the sound bites and I'm ready to buy the entire album. It's captivating by itself, and I can't wait to read Tolkien with this as background music. " Chris Kernick, U.S.A.

"Very beautiful music. Captures the spirit of the books " Anders Gustafsson, Sweden

"The music itself draws you into Tolkien's world. Great work! Can't wait to hear the rest of it! "
Eric Martin, U.S.A.

"I think this music is delightful to listen to. It is simply the best I have heard. I would love to know where to get it and when it is to be released " Kevin Davis, U.S.A.

" I don't believe I've specifically commented yet on how wonderful even these simple clips are. Kevin Pearce and James Prior and anyone else involved have created a flawless performance. I am absolutely amazed! The images flood my mind as I listen to this music, and it seems as if these songs are irrefragably some of the most accurately depicted (if such a thing exists) representations of Tolkien's masterworks. Each song follows the expected theme so clearly and uniquely. Of the clips so far, I'd have to say that "The Straightway to the West" and also "The Prancing Pony" are probably my favorites of all of these "favorites." One can just feel the sensations of Middle-Earth come alive with adventure and depth! I don't believe I can contain any longer my yearning to hear the entire album, which, I'm sure, will leave me spellbound! Well, I've ramblingly sung my praises enough, but I must say that if this compilation isn't the main embodiment of the upcoming "The Lord of the Rings" movies, then I'd say that the chosen musician would have to be Tolkien himself conducting the symphony from Arda (Valinor)! " John Paul Charlton, U.S.A.

"Superb! Magnificent! It's a masterpiece!" Thiago Amaral, Brazil.

"The music is outstanding - you seem to have captured
the real feel and emotion of Middle Earth and it's characters.." Fraser Cowan.

"Very impressive..." James Murray.

"I really enjoyed the music, especially the Prancing Pony
I felt I was actually in the inn watching Frodo!" Peter Larkin, UK.

"Quite excellent work. You have the sweet parts and the exciting
and driving parts that emphasise the ups and downs of Tolkien's writing." Mark Andersen.

"Amazing - where can I buy it?" Josh Winters, Australia.

"I found it fantastic!" Fernando Azevedo.

"Excellent. Paints a picture in music of the mood of the LOTR reading." Gary Kuleck.

"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PUBLISH SOON! It's great!" Ernest Gonzalwz.

"It seems like the Tolkien works have just recently been acknowledged
by the pros and I think your music is great. I know I'll love the CD when I get it!"
Tybie USA.
