Fans need to listen to 'Music Inspired by Watership Down'. Nearly as good as Lord of the Rings.

I'm listening to my newly bought vinyl of "Sagan om ringen" right now. so good. I feel abit ashamed though, since I own 2 copies of it, and Bo himself doesn't even own the swedish version :D

I warmly recommend Björn Olsson's first album instrumental music to submerge to.. to anyone into Mr.Hansson. Heavily influenced by him including a couple of awkward rip-offs. Still much much better than the IMHO overrated Eric Malmberg & Sagor & Swing.

When I heard the intro of The Black Riders I get chills all over my body. The whole record is just horribly great.

Yeah, the LOTR-album is probably the most atmospheric thing ever made, atleast the most atmospheric album I've ever heard. The way it makes all the instruments sound like noises from unknown creatures.. it's just, great.

Hell yeah! The LOTR album is so amazingly atmospheric and beautiful. It takes me away every time.
