My set arrived from Mondo today. Have listened twice and it’s seriously worth the postage to the UK. Incredible music.

Has anyone done a deep dive into the ‘episode’ soundtrack releases and come up with a ‘best of’ list that are not on the cd album?


I echo BrenKel's question. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2-CD album, but am interested on the opinions of people here have on how each episode compares to the OST. I of course plan on listening to them all myself online, but still, I enjoy the discourse and opinions of others more experienced than myself.

There isn't even a digital release of the complete score; The episodic albums are not complete (nor chronological)

I have this.

I was talking about digital editions of each episode.
It's around 8 hours of music!

Bear hinted 4 months ago that the episodic albums would receive a physical release (bolding is mine):


The Season One Soundtrack Album for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power was released digitally across all platforms on August 19th. The individual episodic albums are being released exclusively on Amazon Music, as each episode streams on Prime Video. Once all episodes stream, these albums will be available on all digital platforms. Collectors of physical media, stay tuned for news in the near future!

But as you can see, the quote does not indicate whether the "physical media" he mentioned is CD or vinyl (or both), and no release window was given.

I think that releases are cancelled, same as „Avatar 2” CD release.

The Númenor Theme has become one of my favorite McCreary themes. I might just have to watch the show past episode 2!
