Never heard of this before, but from what I just listened to it sounds pretty great, very ambient. It's kind of weird that it's so old, it was published on vinyl in 1970, and according to wikipedia, this album hit the top 40 in the UK (idk why but I just automatically assumed it was much more recent, and not well known). So, it came out right around the same time that Zeppelin was putting out their first albums, and LZ IV also had several songs referencing lotr. Makes me wonder if rock musicians who wrote lotr-themed music was a sterotype/trend in the 70s. |

If I had, to I might ascribe to the fact that the 60s and 70s apparently had a resurgence in popularity of Lord of the Rings as a new generation discovered the works.
This for some reason reminded me of a video in which Larry Wall says that Hobbits embody the three virtues of a programmer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G49RUPv5-NU
