Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack


Review


If you're a fan of Star Wars or Star Wars soundtrack, this is a very good choice for soundtrack. It has many familiar songs in it such as, of course, the Main Theme, Duel of the Fates, The Flag Parade, and Qui-Gon's Noble End. This soundtrack is way above average, but it's not as good as Lord of the Rings. Still, John Williams has done a fantastic job on this soundtrack, making it stand out above the other soundtracks in the Star Wars trilogy. I will mention that Sony bought the music from George Lucas and made more than a few modifications in the soundtrack. I think some of the modifications were for the better, but, I wish they hadn't sold the music to Sony. My personal favorites are: Duel of the Fates, Panaka and the Queen's Protector's, and The Flag Parade. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of John William's work, and if you aren't. I award the soundtrack 8/10 stars.

1. Star Wars Main Title and The Arrival at Naboo
2. Duel of the Fates
3. Anakin's Theme
4. Jar Jar's Introduction and The Swim to Otoh Gunga

14. The Droid Invasion and The Appearance of Darth Maul
15. Qui-Gon's Noble End
16. The High Council Meeting and Qui-Gon's Funeral

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 



Review


This soundtrack is absolutely beautiful. Especially the first few tracks. Some of the songs are so peaceful that you're in a different world when you're listening to them. This CD has some of the more quiet and familiar songs than the others. If you're looking for some beautiful, relaxing soundtrack, look no further! The music tells the story incredibly well. I have never heard better soundtrack, nor music that is better (in my opinion) than Howard Shore's music for Lord of the Rings. Enya's May it Be closes the movie superbly. You can tell from listening to it that though all looks lost, as the Fellowship is divided, and one of the members of the Fellowship has fallen (I won't specify who in case you haven't seen the movie), there is hope. Very little, but all the same, it's there. It fits the mood of the ending very well. My personal favorites are Concerning Hobbits, The Black Rider, The Bridge of Kahazad-Dum, The Breaking of the Fellowship, and May it Be. The guest singers include: Enya, Elizabeth Fraser, and Edward Ross. I must award this CD 12/10 stars. I highly recommend this soundtrack.

Tracks:

1. The Prophecy
2. Concerning Hobbits
3. The Shadow of the Past
4. The Treason of Isengard
5. The Black Rider
6. At the Sign of the Prancing Pony
7. A Knife in the Dark
8. Flight to the Ford
9. Many Meetings
10. The Council of Elrond
11. The Ring Goes South
12. A Journey in the Dark
13. The Bridge of Kahazad-Dum
14. Lothlorien
15. The Great River
16. Amon Hen
17. The Breaking of the Fellowship
18. May it Be

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 



Review


This soundtrack is so beautiful I can't describe it. It ranges from quiet, peaceful songs to beautiful epic songs. My personal favorites are Forth Eorlingas, Samwise the Brave and The Hornburg. I like Evenstar too. I must say that after listening to this that Howard Shore has probably become my favorite composer. Some of the guest singers include: Emiliana Torrini, Shelia Chandra, and Ben del Maestro. This is one of those soundtracks that you think:"I'm sure at least one of the tracks will be bad" about, and you're proved wrong. Simply put, I think that all 77 minutes are worth it. I award it 12/10 stars. I highly recommend this soundtrack.

Tracks:

1. Foundations of Stone
2. The Taming of Smeagol
3. The Riders of Rohan
4. The Passage of the Marshes
5. The Uruk-Hai
6. The King of the Golden Hall
7. The Black Gate is Closed
8. Evenstar
9. The White Rider
10. Treebeard
11. The Leave Taking
12. Helm's Deep
13. The Forbidden Pool
14. Breath of Life
15. The Hornburg
16. Forth Eorlingas
17. Isengard Unleashed
18. Samwise the Brave
19. Gollum's Song
20. Farewell to Lorien (Bonus Track)
