Advantages: Haunting & dramatic

Disadvantages: have to listen on your own

Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds is H.G.Wells classic story narrated by Richard Burton with dramatic music in the background & a few songs.

I first bought this album on vinyl, but replaced it with the double CD. The story starts with a spaceship landing at
Horsall common & a martian invasion begins. Slowly they came & building fighting machines to take over the earth. They were finaly defeated by the common cold.

The story was broadcast on radio in the US in the 50's where the listeners thought the broadcast really was the Martians landing & panic soon spread.

David Essex also appears on the album singing a brave new world. This is an album you have to listen to to get the full benefit, it is not background music. Richard Burtons narration is suitably haunting.

The title track is one of the most dramatic works of modern music I have heard & sets the tone beautifully.

I listen to this album only when I am alone as anyone trying to talk distracts me from the story.
