Hey everyone DJ Helsing here. With the recent release of Riders of Rohan and the upcoming Update 9 I wanted to take a few minutes to review the Official Video Game Score and provide an opportunity for one of you to walk away with a FREE copy of the CD.
When I first entered into Rohan I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the music that Turbine ordered for the expansion. Normally in MMO’s you hear the same generic music throughout the game and nothing ever changes. Most games have one battle theme and one or two regional themes but nothing to expansive. Some MMO’s even reuse old music from less visited regions making it seem like its new music for the new area. This was definitely not the case with LOTRO and Rohan. Turbine spared no expense and created a very expansive score of 22 different and unique tracks that we hear through the Riddermark both in battle, instances and throughout the different regions of the expansion.

Turbine posted today on their LOTRO YouTube Channel a new video featuring the “Theme for Rohan” being played by Taylor Davis with composer Chance Thomas.
Taylor plays wonderfully and I enjoyed the video although I have to admit, I had no idea who she is. (I’m saying this a lot lately – maybe I’m just old?). So I headed to google to investigate. Her notoriety appears to stem from her YouTube and you may want to check that out is she plays a lot of video game and movie themes on her violin. Final Fantasy, Halo, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts and now LOTRO!
You can also check out her web site at http://www.taylordavisviolin.com

This week we talk about Rohan, horseshoes, festivals, lawsuits and unigoats. All while playing freeze tag in-game! We are so talented! (This will also explain the exclamations of “he got me!” or “I’m being chased” you may hear.)
Goldenstar’s Dum group broke up into two 3-man groups to do “Stompy Monster” in the Water Works dungeon. She worked on a couple of deeds, played with the festival. We reached our $4,000 goal for the Fellowship Walk on Friday and hosted an in-game walk. Next goal is $5,000.

In tandem with the release of the Riders of Rohan soundtrack on iTunes, Turbine has released a video called the “Sounds of Rohan” which highlights the music of the upcoming expansion. The video shows a great look at some of the work that took place behind-the-scenes and includes commentary from from those deeply involved in the project including Judd Maher (Conductor), Chance Thomas (Composer), Monte Belknap (Concert Master). Glen Neibaur (Scoring Mixer). as well as others. But you know what stands out the most? How amazing the music is in the video itself!
