“Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge” released

Here’s a weird one for you: “Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge” has been released. Nightwish’s master songwriter Tuomas Holopainen really loved the graphic novel enough that he wanted to write an album based off it. He even went as far as having illustrator Don Rosa do the cover.

There’s only one song I really liked (and so did my coworkers when I randomly played it on the speakers) and that is “A Lifetime of Adventure.” Some great vocals and it’s clear why this was the single.

Quick picks:
A Lifetime of Adventure

1. “Glasgow 1877″
2. “Into the West”
3. “Duel & Cloudscapes”
4. “Dreamtime”
5. “Cold Heart of the Klondike”

8. “To Be Rich”
9. “A Lifetime of Adventure”
10. “Go Slowly Now, Sands of Time”
