should this not be in the trivia game section? Bo Hanson's Lord Of The Rings with Tolkien Lindh's Bilbo the Rabbit with Tolkien Boring so far..... ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I think that it is almost impossible to find a match between an author and an artist. Many an album could be said to match the mood (and story) of a certain book, though. Cheers -Beau ------------- --No enemy but time-- |

Isildurs Bane's Sagan om Ringen is yet another album inspired by The Lord of the Rings. Glass Hammer's album Perelandra is based on a C.S. Lewis novel. Close to The Edge (the title track) is based on something by Herman Hesse (I can't remember what).

An interesting topic from last March (before I was around). Any interests to continue it and show how civilized you are? Fountain of Salmacis re-tells the Greek myth of Hermafroditis (Pablo Ovid Naso: Metamorphoseon) I Robot (Parsons) > Isaac Asimov's novel. (The debut on Poe's works is great!) Leper's Song (BJH) > Graham Greene: A Burnt-out Case Dust and Dreams (Camel album) > John Steinbeck: Grapes of Wrath Piper at the Gates of Dawn was named after a chapter in Grahame's Wind in the Willows (no further links, I guess) Grendel (Marillion) > John Gardner: Grendel, a re-narrative of Beowulf. I'm sure many of you will remember some other cases. |

Mervyn Peake's 'Gormenghast' goes well with 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' - overlong, ridiculously detailed, yet highly enjoyable. -------------
