Now, strictly speaking, its illegal. I know that. But I also know I've already bought the EE DVD and the Complete Recordings, so I'm actually not getting anything I don't already have.
Anyway. Its brilliant. Watching the movies again (well, the first half of FotR is the only one actually out so far) with just the music and images is fantastic. Also, the guy who put it together has provided subtitles for any sung music, including translations.
For example, under the section where Galadriel does her "The world has changed" bit, you have the following being sung:
Code: Select all
Man sí minna? Who enters here?
Man ammen toltha i dann hen Amarth? Who brings to us this token of Doom?
I anann darthant dam morn That which has stood so long against the darkness
Si dannatha. will now fall.
Similarly you can hear the chant of the Ringwraiths during the Last alliance scene:
Code: Select all
Nêbâbîtham Magânanê We renounce our Maker.
Nêtabdam dâur-ad We cleave to the darkness.
Nêpâm nêd abârat-aglar We take unto ourselves the power and glory.
îdô Nidir nênâkham Behold! We are the Nine,
Bârî’n Katharâd The Lords of Unending Life.
Honestly, it makes me think once again that the soundtrack was the greatest achievement of these movies. I hope that an official version of this is released sometime as I'd buy it in a heartbeat. In the meantime, thank God for fans!
