Bo Hansson lord of the rings- the black riders

[jawaligt]

I seem to remember the tempo is a bit faster on the vinyl version...

[brigtern]

kuleste låten!

[mrtwig80]

The swedish band "dungen" has stolen/borrowed parts of this song in their album "tio bitar" :)

listen: /watch?v=H3sIneDAI3I (2:17 in the song)

[pr0sperus01]

I just bought this album and I'm listening to it stoned right now! (4:27pm)

[oliverecords]

@pr0sperus01 I'm listening to the youtube excerpts of this album while rolling a fat one on the sleeve of another Bo Hansson's album :)

[pr0sperus01]

@oliverecords Thumbs up to that!

[TheIcequeen57]

@pr0sperus01 The only way :)

[TheIcequeen57]

This is why I am totally indebted to Google! I lost this so long ago. Welcome back my friend :)

[Auceza]

Thank you for uploading this song, honey!!! <3 <3 <3

Happy Greetings, Auc :)

[rehouserr]

black moon 'six feet deep' sampled this. my favorite song of theirs by far

[dabcorn]

I bought the LP & didn't listen to it stoned, And I still like Bo Hansson!

[gasplut]

En af mine ynglings plader -opdagede den ved at høre ove sprogø læse "ringenes herre" opi børneradioen -klokken lort om morgenen - (engang i middelalderen-før filmene ) Dele af pladen blev brugt som underlægning- sammen med tubular bells af oldfield..

Bo Hansson sparker røv ! :)

[mbarrancoflorido]

En los 70's en la Vocacional 2, comienzo oir Bo Hansson en "El Señor de los Anillo", me inspiro a mis 16 años a tocar la balada en mi Organo Yamaha , el cual fue mi inspiración para localizar más Grupos de Rock Progresivo de Eurpo e iniciar en Mejico esta nueva tendencia rockera, siiii un Pulque mexica a Memoria de este gran Multi_instrumentalista Bo Hansson

[Daryl93TillInfinitY]

[NMERider]

[123oakstreet]

Follow this listening guide accordingly:

Lord of the Rings = Bud

[xXdeadkidXx69]

[Matshoppahulle]

@xXdeadkidXx69 If you haven´nt heard: check out his 3 rd. albun El Ahrairah, For example "Skogen"

Or Kaipa, swedish group. Visa i sommaren, or Sist på plan

[Hajofoe]

Einfach nur geile Musik. Und das seit über 30 Jahren.

[TheKillerOctopus1]

I did a Bo Hansson mix along with a few other artist. Check it out at my blog. Google the words The Killer Octopus and Bo Hansson. Click on the word mix to stream and right click the word to save the mix. Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

[diblassio4]

Holey Moley!!!!

Man! D' ar mycket mycket bra!!!!!!

Thank you Sweden!

(and thank you Black Moon! LOL {used as sample in song "Six Feet Deep")

[OriginalSamples]

omg black moon!!! nice song

[123porqueno]

Was haben wir zu diesem Sound nicht alles gemacht ;-))))

[enjikaka]

Vi spelar den här på ensamble lektionen :D

[Dav82IC]

I have no words to describe how amazing this song is!

[wasserwaldfee]

LSDmusik vom feinsten :) unvergleichbar guter spiritueller sound !

Der neue Soundtrack zu Lord of the rings ist nix

[ERIXWORX]

my copy doesn't have the colored border on the album cover. used to listen to this on trips back in college

[mormonjoe]

I was flipping through the vinyl at a Goodwill store near my house and stumbled upon Bo Hansson's Attic Thoughts album. I picked it up for 75 cents just cause I thought the cover artwork was cool. Turned out to be one of my favorite albums ever. Bo Hansson was an amazing musician. He will be missed.

[fifthof]

Great groove once it gets going.Could do with a trance mix of this!

[signorellil]

@fifthof : the organ riff was sampled by old school rap group "Black Moon" for their song "Six Feet Deep". Check on you tube to hear it.

[citizengkar1]

Made me feel like I was there. I still have the vinyl LP, What beautiful music

[iAsteroidPlanetSmash]

This sound is so

Ancient

There is no doubt

Bo ascended to the depths of the netherworld and returned with this

Sound/Story

There can never be any other sound even remotely near the actual interpretation

J.R.R. Tolkien's Creation

This sound can Sail your Soul away to Ancient Worlds

Best to Dress Warm and be prepared

[iAsteroidPlanetSmash]

So Sad to hear the news about

Bo

I started listening to the Lord Of The Rings in the seventies deep and high in the Colorado Rockies Had a very comfortable Cottage with a huge old stone fire place

Would take some LSD And sit in the dark listening to this sound

To this day

I know the depth of the subconscious mind and how deep and strong myth is

I assisted in building that place where few go

Though many know of

[morgenschweis]

wunderschön LOVEVA

[GammaG0blin]

FUCK ENYA, this is the shit right here, used to scare the crap out of me when i was a kid!

[leikoplus]

R.I.P.

[PoonDong040]

vila i frid! king

[MojoRisinist]

Rest in peace, Bo Hansson.

[porofix]

Vila i Frid Bo

[TurnerBeats]

six feet deep

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Love the Latin rhythms!! It;s almost like the Black Riders were from Jamaica, mon.....lol!!

[overner2001]

seem to recall this was called "Flight to the Ford"? It's different from the book: in the film Arwen replaces Glorfindel the Elf warior who rescues Frodo from the 9 in the original story.

For me Hanson (have I spelt his name right?) captured the fear, atmosphere and resignation of the Hobbits in his score. Truly a masterpiece!

[tevevid]

The best piece of music from the best LP ever made in Sweden, by the best Swedish composer. It is quite outstanding. It also reflects the feelings of the Tolkien trilogy even if I don`t remember if I read the book before or after listening to the music, but they match and both are top class.

[splintezzz]

classic...

[brigtern]

at night. i can feel the vibe in sight...

[brigtern]

fred og kjærlighet bo hansson! one L

[KoenigFranz]

sitting round a table with friends, smoking some "strong tobacco", laughing, laughing, laughing... and then, the idea: Let´s travell to the sea, just in the middle of the night, 8 persons in a small volkswagen, 600 Kilometers, laughing, laughing, - a thousand years ago, it´ll never come back. And what´s today? The black riders are all around you. Can´t you see?

[tykemeawaywyou]

Why KoenigFranz, what are we going to do with you, friend? That's hilarious, totally something I could see myself doing! Sometimes you just have to.

[2u9h]

black moon! 6'deep

[DrHarrie]

Als ich die Platte kaufte, war "Der Herr der Ringe" noch was für Eingeweihte. Irgendwie hat das Ganze mir da besser gefallen als der Hype jetzt. Und meine Kinder finden Bo Hansson noch nicht mal passend, weil sie von dem Film die schwülstige Orchestermusik im Ohr haben. Na, was soll´s, rollen wir uns noch Einen auf die guten alten Zeiten.

[jobforakasper]

trippy when u tripping balls.

[renderview]

Lange lang ist es her in Straberg in der nähe von Nievenheim etwas weiter von Zons am Rhein... oh welche wundervolle Zeit ist dort in meiner Erinnerung... Gruss an alle im Kreis Dormagen... Wolfgang jetzt in China

[fetteshice]

Thirty years and more ... time waits for no one, but wait: I dig Lady Gaga as well ... so I am not dead ... I just smell funny 8)

[sun21760flower]

great music !It remembers me of farther times...

[bushka5]

I got this some ware on lp I am going to have to dig this up

[felixicon]

Thank you Evil Dee. ... 6 ft Deep

[ProjectFlashlight612]

Now THIS, my friends, is the quintessential marijuana album. More joints have been rolled on the sleeve of this record than there are trees in Fangorn. My Dad is probably the only person on Earth who bought the LP and didn't listen to it stoned. Great music. A classic.

[jjrandel]

Your not the only one man! I love this album.

[Matshoppahulle]

Are you kidding?. I GET stoned from listening.

[Vashtiana]

@ProjectFlashlight612

Fucken A...I had this and Magicians Birthday...absolute classic, lay back in the armchair, joint rolled...glass in hand...MELLOWED :)

[GammaG0blin]

@Vashtiana Amen!

[Suuulan]

@ProjectFlashlight612

ofcourse ur dad was a stoner in the past. Come on.

[wannababrit]

@ProjectFlashlight612 Make that two! This section transported you without anything else needed!

[georgegrew]

@ProjectFlashlight612 Damn right...this should have been used for the movie...it made us Readers think!!!! back when, before the movie was avavilable

[muzboz]

@ProjectFlashlight612 Haha! Classic. I bought it recently, and I am loving it. Such a good album. Inspired me to grab an old second hand copy of Lord of the Rings book yesterday (a nice 1975 edition, would have been printed the year after this LP is copyrighted, perhaps hitting stores on the same day for all I know!)... I might give it a re-read some time, preferably stoned and listening to this LP at the same time. Haha. Inspires me to make some "inspired by" soundtracks like this!

[TheIcequeen57]

@ProjectFlashlight612 More joints have been rolled on the sleeve of this record than there are trees in Fangorn. lol :)

[GiulianoSalis]

Vecchi ricordi.

[HighZombiesRule]

Love the solo, that's what turned me on to this.

[Tubergo]

The Cover of the CD Version is awful compared to the Vinyl-Cover

[natnasty2000]

Six feet deep-Black Moon

DOPE!!!!!

[MetalRaz]

best song

[vapoureyes]

Crap video greet music,one of my all time favourites

[3589546]

Best music for the book ever. Far better than the movie music.

[thyrfingindianen]

Vafan du va ju också från sverige. ja knastret är bättre. har alla Bo Hanssons på vinyl :-)

[randomforum]

AAAAA my ears!!! Youtube destroys the quality of the sound :( But I got this on LP and it is so awesome, the sound is much better than on the CD edition

[thyrfingindianen]

i dont think`its to bad. but i have it on lp to and i prefer that. thanks for listening from sweden

[dedepamir]

@thyrfingindianen

Thank you for posting this gem........I thought I would never hear it again.

[swamipuratan]

@dedepamir : same happened to me today! Had the Album when i was young,

but gave it away to a beloved... Really happy to have it back!

@Thyfingindianen: Very nice, you posted this,very nice...

[lonesomepete]

@randomforum Thank you!

[lonesomepete]

@randomforum Other videos sound good, (it might be the source.)

[georgegrew]

@randomforum Yeah!!! I even heard Allison Steele (the Nightbird) play THIS on FM radio late one night back in the 70's...it was and still is ...Awesome!!!

[Duesenbergh]

Lang ists her!!

[flywithseaguls]

Winfried Trenkler hat diese wunderbare Musik lange als Erkennungsmelodie für "Rock In" benutzt. Seither habe ich die LP. Vor 3-4 Jahren hat irgendein niederländischer Vertrieb das Ding auf CD gepresst: Musste ich kaufen, Wenn ich sie spielen will, finde ich sie meist in den Beständen unserer Tochter.....sie spielt übrigens Keyboard.........

[thyrfingindianen]

runk weiste fur alle hitler frokenziger tro fajsterfitzen fromuller runkizeizer iterzeitzer raukmarsch rehaitzer

[gothamcityman]

ehh?!

[phthalocyanine4]

@thyrfingindianen without 'hitler' this could have been funny… i say as a german. with it this is poor, sorry. he was just saying that this music is beautiful, it was the title-track of 'rock in', he bought it on cd 3-4 years ago and that his daughter plays keyboard. no need to connect it with hitler, just because of the language. i would not have thought that somebody who likes this music could be so narrow-minded.

[waitaniwha]

Favourited, thanks. Great to hear again after so many years.Had the vinyl mid 70's.

[thyrfingindianen]

Thanks to you!

for listning (spelling?) that kind of music is like the past, wonderful but sadly thou history

[sihingjimo]

Ha Ha Ha!! I can recall when Allison Steele played this song on her late-night Radio show, most likely WNEW-FM, ...I remember her sultry, deep voice, saying, "yeah, that's the Black Riders, Flight from the Ford...Bo Hansson..."

[sihingjimo]

This is Soo much better than the movie soundtrack..I have this album from so many years ago, and the music still evokes images of the various scenes more than those brought to mind by the movie...

[McNools]

I think it's done on a moog, atleast he used one for the album, could be an organ though. Amazing record, I own the original swedish version of it, it's lovely, and it surely trancends Lord of The Rings, the best combination is to read the books while listening to the music though, gives it a whole new level.

[Fretboarder7]

Lol this is so sweet. Is this done on a Moog? Ive been thinking about ordering this CD for a while now. Where did you find the Vinyl for it? I haven't heard the whole album but i've heard that he transcends the source material, which is pretty impressive considering it's the Lord of the Rings!

[thyrfingindianen]

Hallo i´m glad that you liked the music.

i baught the vinyl in a 2´nd hand music chop.

in götgatsbacken in stockholm city.

peace
