I have a CD by Nazgul, or perhaps Nazgul is one of those suspected fake
krautrock bands (in which case I have a compilation with tracks attributed
to Nazgul).  Can't remember for sure.

Grakkl (FAA)

P.S.  Didn't think Lord of the Rings was anything to be excited about.
Sometimes a classic novel makes a crappy screenplay.  And sometimes computer
animation just looks like ridiculous fake garbage...see Balrog (or whatever
that stupid thing was called).  When's that Amber movie supposed to be finished?
