The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Two Towers Soundtrack Cover The Two Towers provides gamers with a second invigorating soundtrack to augment their campaign's audiospace, albeit one that isn't quite as successful as its predecessor, The Fellowship of the Ring.

However, its not as easy to use for background music as Fellowship was, largely because the range of the music is so great. The soundtrack includes subdued, relaxing segments that lead into explosive, heroic overtures, and unfortunately, if you have the volume up high enough to hear the subdued versions, you'll find yourself -- and your game -- overwhelmed by the epic portions.
