Title: Music Not Inspired by Lord of the Rings
Review: This CD purports to be a collection of songs inspired by The Lord of the Rings, but if one turns to the back cover, one may see that the music is made up of tracks previously released on Rick Wakeman's Heritage Suite and The Seven Wonders of the World. These songs, then, are obviously NOT inspired by Lord of the Rings but have simply been retitled (incorrectly in the case of Minas Tirith which has here been called Minas Truth) with names from Tolkien's triolgy. While it is interesting to listen to these old songs in their new conceptual connotations, this is still old material, and the musical styles of the original two albums don't always blend as nicely as one might hope. One would do far better to purchase both Seven Wonders and Heritage Suite and experience the songs in their proper form.
