Sauron Speaks
title:: Fat Beats from the Dark Tower
label:: Suckadelic Reckids
format:: CD
Morgan Phillips, who put together Star Wars Breakbeats, has
turned his attention (in a timely fashion) to The Lord Of The Rings.
He used the cartoon version of the saga which came out a few years ago as the source material for the dialogs and called them with music pieces.
Where Star Wars Breakbeats had no music segments I could recognize, Sauron Speaks uses Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull ("Aqualung"), Black Sabbath, Rush, Motley Crue (I believe), Pink Floyd, and others.
While this sounds like the stuff of a suburban planetarium's weekend laser show, the results are OK. My favorite tracks are those that do not use the Rn'R though.
I REALLY love "The History Of The Ring" (#2). I enjoyed several of the other tracks, particularly "The Uruk-Hai" (#7). My favorite of the 'Laserium' tracks is Gollum's "My Precious" (#11) with Black Sabbath as the musical bed.
While not as special to me as Star Wars Breakbeats, I'm glad to have given this a try and will buy any other releases this person does.
