Inspired by the HG Wells novel, the album features a compelling blend of prog rock and classical and literary influences, coupled with a spell-binding narration from Richard Burton and outstanding performances by some of the biggest artists of the 70s, including David Essex, Justin Hayward ( Forever Autumn, hmmm :) ), Phil Lynott and Julie Covington.

The enriched sound now has a clarity like you've never heard on War of the Worlds before. Sounds leap out at you, Ive even heard things on every track that seemed not to be there before, though some of the tracks are remixed like Spirit Of Man, its slightly different to the past releases.

I introduced xpgeek to this a while back, and he said it was good, who else has heard and likes this?

If you do, get the remastered version today, you wont be dissapointed

I actually did the musical version of this as a lesson at school, its what first got me into War Of The Worlds, Its just so relaxing to listen to this CD.

I agree, Richard Burton is totally fantastic in this, Its his narration that makes it for me. Simply fantastic.

My brother got me into this album a few years back. I remember him driving me to Bristol one night in the winter and he was playing it in the car...as we were driving a thunder and lightening storm started up on the horizan...it was amazing listening to this wonderful album whilst watching the storm in the distance.

I will have to get this...my copy was stolen... :cry:
