Shadow of the Past

About the Artist
After receiving formal classical piano training in Spain, his home country, Pablo Paniagua became interested in a diversity of new sounds. This encouraged him to move to London to pursue the study of the electric guitar at the London Guitar Institute. Back in Spain, he founded "Tribal Groove", a Jazz Fusion band that melts jazz harmony with rock technique and funk rhythm.

As a solo artist, Pablo is interested in electronic sounds. He recently recorded his second solo project in L.A.: "Shadow of the Past", an electronic bossa album. This new CD combines electronic drums with traditional Brazilian percussions, electric guitar with upright bass and has him performing in most of the instruments.

Through his music one can hear some of Paniagua's influences: Eric Trufazz, Jazzanova, Hermeto Pascoal, Miles Davis, St Germain and Tom Jobim.

According to the artist: "This new release is a very eclectic approach to Brazilian music, trying to spice up traditional styles like Baiao or Batucada with Lounge and Electronic Jazz".

Pablo won Musicians Institute's Best Project Award in 2002.

Product Description
Shadow of the Past is an eclectic approach to Brazilian music, spicing up traditional styles with Lounge and Electronic Jazz.

Recorded in L.A., it features the preformace of guest vocalists Jessica Vautor, Liv Pucci and Natasha Volk.

Score composer Howard Shore has informed this first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with his distinctly modern sensibilities. Revolving loosely around a brief, heroic brass theme, this epic is infused with a powerful rhythmic thrust and a musical range that encompasses centuries (from the Renaissance pastoralism of "Concerning Hobbits" to the fiery, Prokofiev-influenced drama of "A Knife in the Dark"). Key to the score's sense of mystery and magical place are the rich choral passages that are interspersed throughout, some so ominously gothic they make The Phantom Menace's "Duel of the Fates" sound almost sunny by comparison. Enya's contributions ("The Council of Elrond" and the song "May It Be") add a sense of organic tranquility, but it's Shore's Wagnerian-scaled orchestral score that should long be cherished by admirers of film music and hobbits alike. --Jerry McCulley

The music is good but the movie is better.......2007-04-10

I really enjoyed the 3 series of The Lord of the Rings movie so I wanted the music. The soundtracks are good but if you like the movie the soundtracks watch the movie. They remind you of certain parts in the movie like the song Concerning Hobbits. The song is whimsical. Enyna has a great voice, very haunting. The Ring Goes South is another favorite of mine. I can enjoy these soundtracks as classical or dramatic music. I bought them because I loved the Lord of the Rings which has many similarities to Braveheart. Bravery, courage, strength, honesty, selflessness, love and other good human qualities people try to attain and admire them in the people and movies they view.

A grand sountrack..........2007-01-10

One of Howard Shore's best soundtracks around. The music is strong enough to tell its own separate story apart from FOTR. You will never tire of the heart-pounding excitement from The Bridge of Kazaad-Dum track.

Lord of the Rings Original Soundtracks, films 1 and 3.......2006-11-08

Having made an earlier mistake of buying 2 C.D.'s which were not original soundtrack, I can truthfully say these are the best. If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, look no further - no one does it better than The London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the composer Howard Shore. You will be back in Middle Earth reliving all those wonderful scenes. I bought only The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King from Amazon.com because I already had the Two Towers from Amazon.co.uk and I would recommend all three - magical.

Awe inspiring!.......2006-10-02

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Howard Shore's magnificent score for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? A soundtrack can define the whole atmosphere of a film, and this fully orchestrated work certainly does that with sweep, splendor and wonder, alternately humanizing (hobbit-izing?) the characters, imbuing the landscape with magic and capturing the world-shaking impact of events of mythic proportions. And this was no easy task considering the iconoclastic status of the story and the superb quality of Peter Jackson's filmmaking. This is a truly a soundtrack for the ages--a fitting accompaniment to a film for the ages! Every aspect of life, from the extreme to the mundane, is captured in this music. Listening to it can make every remembered moment of the movie come alive again in your mind, from the most horrific battle to the smallest moment of humor or kindness. I think this first one is my favorite of the three "Lord of the Rings" soundtracks. I enjoy the juxtaposition of the lighter moments, like the sweet, simple hobbit theme, with the grander and more menacing sections of the music. (That despite the fact that said hobbit theme begins exactly like the first phrase of the Protestant hymn "This Is My Father's World," which prompts me to think of the hobbits trouping off to Sunday school every time I hear it. But now when I hear the hymn, I think of Lord of the Rings, so I suppose all's fair!) What impressed me most as I watched "The Fellowship of the Ring" was how scary the music was when the hobbits were being pursued. Those relentless drums and eerily screaming drums made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, even though I knew the story like the back of my hand and knew for a fact that the poor little heroes would manage to escape. But the music truly made me wonder otherwise ... Now that's good composition! And the fact that the filmmakers chose to include background music in so many of the scenes, almost continuously ... well, that's just good filmmaking! The other impressive thing about Howard Shore's score is how the voicing and repeating motifs tie the whole thing together, like the finest of symphonies. The total effect is utterly convincing and utterly transporting. Peter Jackson chose well when he picked Shore as his score writer. Very, very well! Be sure to get the scores from the other two movies in the trilogy as well - "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King." They seem to be available in no end of different packagings, including ones with bonus DVDs about the creation of the score. Also, make sure to get the extended edition DVDs of the movie itself, with hours and hours of fascinating commentaries and behind-the-scenes documentaries about the making of the films. Truly a bargain at any price! And for more seminal soundtracks, try John Williams' defining scores for the "Star Wars" series and Basil Poledouris's spectacular score for the original "Conan the Barbarian."

It is the best of the three CDs!!!.......2006-09-10

For me, the music of the first sequel is my favourite since this is also the sequel that I prefer in the trilogy (I remember being blown away by the quality of this movie, the actors, the setting, the action scenes, the special effects, the moving relationships between all the characters and of coourse the music)
I think that the other CDs are a bit repetitive once you've got this one, even if I still like the music of the second soundtrack 'The Two Towers'. As for the 3rd sequel, I seldom listen to it as there is only one track that I like, 'The Return of the King'.
Now, this first CD of the trilogy is actually very good. Thanks to Enya, it is haunting and the songs are beautiful. There are a few eery but melodious songs like 'The Council of Elrond', 'Lothlorien', 'May it Be'. I love the change of tempo, the balance between fast and slow movements in 'A Knife in the Dark', 'Flight to the ford', and 'Amon Hen' which is my favourite piece (the Death of Boromir) with the oboe sound mixed with the beat of the drums and finaly the haunting voice of the singer. Track 17 is also worth listening. I like this CD because you've got different tempos and melodies and Anya is a great singer to me. But I also enjoy listening to Emiliana Torrini's song 'Gollum's Song'in the second soundtrack...

Good for collectors.......2007-07-08

This is not Howard Shore and no-one should think it is, however I found it a nice addition to my LOTR music collection. I have all the Shore music and it is outstanding - this is interesting, nowhere near as good, but very nice nonetheless. I especially like the soprano Charlotte Kinder on this CD and I would recommend it just for her contribution in some ways I prefer her to Renee Fleming, but that is of course a subjective statement. The other female singer is ok, but nothing special compared to the originals.

Pretty Good.......2007-03-30

I had real high hopes for the soundtrack cause the movies ROCKED!!! This was a disappointment cause the vocal version of "Into the West" "sucked" cause the lady sounded like she lost her voice an faded in an out. They should have gotten Enya to do the vocals or AT LEAST the Into the West cause the ldy that sung it made the volume "suck" when I thought it would have a BIG finish but instead it had a BIG disappiontment!!!

Buyer beware.......2006-09-01

Just be sure to read up on this closely... it's not the orchestra you hear in the movie, and you may be especially disappointed when you hear the vocal tracts - gone are great talents Enya and Annie Lennox, replaced by no-name voices. This is not BAD music, but don't think you're a genius for capturing the music of the movies on one inexpensive 2-CD set.

Worth It.......2006-03-30

Howard Shore's scores to the three Lord of the Rings movies are a classical masterpiece in their own right, and as such I don't mind hearing them played by a different orchestra. While I prefer the originals on the whole, this set has some very nice things to recommend it. The best part is that you get instrumental renditions of the end credits song from each film. My favorite is "Into the West," from The Return of the King, with a cello replacing Annie Lennox's vocal performance. I really disliked Lennox's ugly, popified performance of the song, but I thought that the melody and orchestration were gorgeous, so I could not be more delighted to hear the song performed by a cello, with all original orchestration intact. That one track is worth $20 to me.

This Collection Captures the Lord of the Rings Aura.......2006-01-27

From the song titled "Concerning the Hobbits" which is lighthearted and cheerful, to "The Bridge of Khazad Dum" with it's intense shadowy drums and chants this collection of The Lord of the Rings trilogy's music ensues the essence of all three movies. My favorites are included along with some new added bonus favorites now. "May It Be," "Into the West," and "The Riders of Rohan." The vocals are absolutely beautiful in some of the songs with soothing women's voices that just glide along as if riding the wind of white cottony cloud. The only down side to the CD's that I found dissapointing was that the last three songs, not being sung by the original artists, don't quite rest as well with the soul as the original's, yet are still very beautifully executed. I have listened to them over and over again even as they are different artists. I highly recomend this soundtrack compelation to anyone who enjoy's the Lord of The Rings Movie's Music.

Beware! This is NOT the official soundtrack!.......2006-07-12

I played my official soundtrack CDs to death so I was looking for a replacement. This is not the real thing. A lot of the tracks aren't even on these, and the order on the rest of them is all mixed up. Bad quality sound, without the energy and passion of the original -- sounds like elevator music. There are even misspellings throughout the playlists. It is not readily obvious to the buyer that it isn't what you think it is, until it arrives.

The Fellowship volume won't play on one of my hard drives at all; it plays, but fuzzily, on my laptop. I gave up before trying it in the CD player in my vehicle.

Not the original music.......2005-07-13

I was expecting this to be the music from the movies - it isn't. It is nicely done, but if you're expecting the same style and sound as from the movies, look elsewhere (this sounds more MIDI than orchestra).

DISAPPOINTING!.......2004-03-06

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!

Shore Synthesized...Again.......2002-07-31

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 :(

This is cool future jazz stuff. If you love Bossa nova jazz like Deodato, Joao Donato, Airto....It's for you ! If you love light funk like '70 fusion jazz (CTI, Blue Note..), you'll love this album. This is electronica music but not like any other boring long length dance music. Here is drum"n"bass, poly rhythmic breaks and rare groove jazz instrumentation. If you are interesting german down tempo music like Jazzanova, Rainer Truby.....It's might be good collection for you too !! overall, it's great to listen at your home lounge with your sweet heart !! It's real 21st century's lounge jazz music !

ROCK NORUEGO de tremenda calidad!!!.......2005-12-30

Primero dejemos algo en claro, este grupo no tiene nada que ver con GENESIS y la musica contenida en este marivilloso CD no se parece en nada a la de GENESIS, por si acaso. Es mas bien una mezcla del estilo de CAMEL en los 80,(STATIONARY TRAVELLER) y el de PINK FLOYD sin Roger Watters. FOXTROT fue un excelente grupo de rock Noruego el cual realizo este unico LP en 1984 titulado SHADOW OF THE PAST(sombra del pasado),un muy apropiado titulo para este disco, (ya no se hace musica asi). El guitarrista de este grupo, HARALD LYTOMT, estaba antes en el grupo KEERS PINK, tambien Noruego. FOXTROT participo en un importante concurso de musica en Oslo, Noruega donde concursaron unas 60 bandas de rock y resultaron vencedores, uno de los grupos que FOXTROT logro vencer fue uno de nombre BRIGDES el cual mas tarde se convirtio en el popular A-HA. En 1990 el sello PAN RECORDS reedito este disco en CD y lamentablemente parece que no esta disponible aqui. Es un muy buen disco, lo recomiendo a todos los fanaticos del progresivo que se hizo en los 80 ,el disco suena muy de esa decada. Los teclados y la guitarra estan excelentementes ejecutados ,las canciones no son muy largas y tienen un aire POP propio de los 80. El vocalista me facina como canta, tiene una voz muy grave y potente. En la portada aparece un decorado antiguo muy precioso y en la parte interna se observan fotos del grupo en pleno concierto con una puesta en escena muy impresionante llena de luces y trajes extraños.

Don't waste your money.......2002-10-31

Absolutely dreadful. Clearly inferior to the original soundtrack in every way. I listened to it when I first received the CD and could barely stand to listen to the whole thing. I set it aside for a few weeks and then went back to it, thinking it couldn't possibly be as bad I had first thought. It was still terrible. I can honestly say that this was my first purchase from Amazon that I felt was a complete waste of money. Get the original soundtrack.

Howard Shore synthesized.......2002-07-01

"Music from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" contains renditions of several pieces from Howard Shore's Oscar-winning score to the recent Peter Jackson film performed by the Hollywood Studio Orchestra & Singers. The original soundtrack release is far superior to this, mainly because the score of the current recording sounds like it was realized with synthesizers. The result is a much shallower, artificial sound. However, the choral portions are real human voices, and their rendition is sufficiently different from the original soundtrack to warrant attention. In particular, many of the vocals are much clearer and easier heard than on the film version.
