[Malte Müller]

More? I’d say it almost has too much!

Well, not the Goldsmith etc. type of dissonance…

Right. The Desolation Of Smaugh is so dissonant. It partly goes on my nerves.

Okay, I though of the original three only. Here I find the complete editions a good and even better flowin listen (although its been some time…) THe Hobbit ones I find generally rather boring despite a few good tracks. Most interesting is that the best theme IMHO is not by Shore at all and sadly only used in the first part (unless I missed it)

But I said it before, I wished the music for Isengard and the Orks were rhytmically more interesting, something like planet of the apes or land of the sand people.

That’s indeed what I probably also mean…
