I also heard that Olbrich was seriously considered being offered to make the music for the LOTR-movies! Probably just rumours though;) Anyway, I think he'd do just a good job as Howard Shore, who by the way blows my mind off every time I watch the masterpieces!:D
Oh, and both versions are awesome! Though I love Siepen's solos, I must agree that the acoustic version is a better;) The way it's done on Imaginations Through the Looking Glass is best though!:D My neck hairs rise every single time at the last chorus when the crowd jumps along with the music! Awesome:D
