John Sangster - Landscapes of Middle Earth

2 CD reissue

The restored re-release of John Sangster's jazz-inspired view of Tolkien's epic tale with this the fourth and final work in the series. Originally a double LP released in the late 1970s, this album finally met the CD age late in 2006.

As well as all the music from the original LPs, there is a video shot in New Zealand of ravishing landscapes similar to those seen in the recent movie trilogy, but with John Sangster's music as the soundtrack.
