The Sword and Laser discussion

Mea culpa if anyone has already posted this, but this is amazing. It reminds me of old Scottish mouth music, only in English!

Tolkien extract

I didn't see it posted, and I haven't heard it, so thanks!

It seems he did a few recordings like this. I've often listened to his reading of Namarie: https://soundcloud.com/elrond/jrr-tol...

You can really hear the Finnish in that Elvish. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting these clips, they are excellent :-)

This is really great!

There is also a CD of him reading parts of the book, including the entire Riddles in the Dark chapter. His Gollum voice is perfect (as you would expect since it's his creation) and it's really great hearing him act out the characters. :-)

Always wondered how closely my inner musician matched Tolkien's vision (filtered through watching Bakshi at an impressionable age). The answer was pretty closely :) Thanks to the OP! This was great!
