Best unsigned artist: Sean Beeson David John Paul Houseman Best fantasy website: Encyclopedia of Arda

OK, here are some of my early favorites- Best unsigned artist: Sean Beeson Paul Houseman Matti Paalanen (a.k.a. Essence, a.k.a. Celestial Aeon Project) Best song by an unsigned artist: Matti Paalanen - "Faire" (Fairport Convention folksiness) Matti Paalanen - "Woods of Eremae" (ethereal fantasy) Paul Houseman - "Aetherius" (intense battle music) Sean Beeson - "Child of Eternity" (whimsical, like Harry Potter) Sean Beeson - "The Highlands" (Rob Royish or Bravehearty) Sean Beeson - "Volcanic Eruption" (has a Khazad-dum intensity) Best fantasy website: TheOneRing.com I'll be back with more in other categories, later.

Anyone else have some nominations? Anyone? Remember: "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." http://forums.tentonhammer.com/images/smilies/LS_Smilies/galadriel.gif

Best unsigned artist Paul Houseman Richard J Durand (Savetara)

Best fantasy game soundtrack: The Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion - Jeremy Soule

Best fantasy game soundtrack: I don't know. I'm not a gamer. But just to get your thoughts rolling, here're what some others have said are the best game soundtracks of 2006. 1. IGN.com selected Gothic III (Kai Rosenkranz), with runner's up The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Jeremy Soule), and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (Leon Willett). 2. Soundtrack.net says Call of Duty 3 (Joel Goldsmith); SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault (James Dooley); Prey (Jeremy Soule); BLACK (Chris Tilton); and SUN: Soul of the Ultimate Nation (Howard Shore). I don't know if any of those games are fantasy or not. What do you gamers think?

I also nominate the "Prey" soundtrack for the category Best Fantasy Game Soundtrack. Never played the game but the music is great.

OK, I also want to throw out there "Priestess of Avalon" by our own Tincolindo as "Best Song by an Unsigned Artist" for 2006. I think it's just lovely.

Best song by unsigned artist: Sean Beeson - Hovering Metropolis (not very fantasy in the title, but the track is awesome!) Sean Beeson - A Conspiring Night Edit: This was done during 2005, oh crap: Lindsay Anne Klemm - Scrying for Arya (not sure about the time for this track, her site is down)

Best song by unsigned artist: Lindsay Anne Klemm - Scrying for Arya (not sure about the time for this track, her site is down) Sorry to say, if you look at the ID tag of the song, it was composed in 2005.

Oh, crap. Disqualified then. Crap crap.

Aw, thanks Maven!! Um, Elrond - wasn't Elder Scrolls: Oblivion done earlier? I was goning to nominate it myself, but could have sworn it was earlier than 2006....

Um, Elrond - wasn't Elder Scrolls: Oblivion done earlier? I was goning to nominate it myself, but could have sworn it was earlier than 2006.... According to Moby Games it was released 21st of March 2006 for PC and 23rd for the 360. So it should qualify, phew!

Alright then! Here's my pick: - Best fantasy game soundtrack: Guild Wars Nightfall The Elder Scroll: Oblivion - Best song from fantasy game: Reign of the Septims, TES: Oblivion - Best fantasy game soundtrack composer: Jeremy Soule (for a change from me...) - Best unsigned artist: Sean Beeson Paul Houseman - Best song by unsigned artist: Legions of Elvendale (I hope it's a 2006 one, I don't know where to find it. )

Legions of Elvendale (I hope it's a 2006 one, I don't know where to find it. ) Yes. 2006. Written in the summer Thank you

Best game soundtrack: DREAMFALL - THE LONGEST JOURNEY Composer: Leon Willett www.leonwillett.com http://cdbaby.com/cd/leonwillett

Best song by unsigned artist: Sean Beeson - Hovering Metropolis (not very fantasy in the title, but the track is awesome!) Sean Beeson - A Conspiring Night These are excellent! But were they composed in 2006 or 2007?

Best song by unsigned artist: Sean Beeson - Hovering Metropolis (not very fantasy in the title, but the track is awesome!) Sean Beeson - A Conspiring Night These are excellent! But were they composed in 2006 or 2007? Both were written in 2006, A Conspiring Night in October and Hovering Metropolis a month ago (right before Christmas). They were just added to my site about 2 weeks ago as that they were part of a demo for a company and I could not post them until I was declined the job

Can I nominate Erdenstern's Into the Red for best fantasy game soundtrack? It's not for a specific game, but for anyone wanting a role play soundtrack. I just enjoy all the tracks I've heard off that one. (Actually, I like Into the Green better, but it was 2005.)
