An unusual ensemble of guest singers - Alanis Morrissette, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor. But the one voice that stands out belongs to a young male (who sadly remains unnamed) whose vocal chords remind me slightly of Ben del Maestro's. Ben del Maestro can be heard on the soundtrack of The Fellowship of the Ring and the other two titles in the trilogy.
In the mean time, I've also been listening to the Children of Dune soundtrack. It's been a week and I haven't taken it out from the player. I'm even tempted to hunt down the dvd to watch the montage scene, the very one in which the song, Inama Nushif, is playing.
But, I have some writing to get done. And 372 pages to read this weekend - Isak Dinesen's Out of Africa. I could just watch the movie, but that'd be cheating.
