Actually there are several musicians influenced by Tolkien - some others to
look into are Glass Hammer & Camel.

Camel not so much as Glass Hammer who now have  two entire albums about
Middle-Earth.
Camel did have a "suite" influence by Tolkien on their album "Mirage"

I am sure there are others as well...
