Shore Synthesized...Again

"This CD follows hard upon the release of a similar work by the Hollywood Studio Orchestra & Singers. Both CDs share two things in common: they are both performances of Howard Shore's score to "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," and they are both realized on synthesizers. Not terribly exciting. But if you feel you have to subject yourself to one of these CDs, I'd suggest the Hollywood Studio version. At least they use real human voices for the choral parts. The present CD doesn't even do that :("
DISAPPOINTING!

"No, no, no! All this is are synthesizers (like the previous reviewer stated), re-creating the original album's songs, and not even very well! Its just bad! If you liked the original score from the film, do not waste your money on this!"
