A Real Piece of Art
Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds is an enduring classic, with stunning storytelling lyrics & drama building music aplenty. From the first bars I was hooked from first listen.
This takes the story to a new level, with a narration from the velvety voice of Richard Burton - it transports you from the fear of the unknown, to the depths of terror and finishes with hope and the sheer resilience of the human spirit. Great as a whole and some real stand out pieces, Forever Autumn being a hit in it’s own right & The Eve of the War being the ring tone choice of many (including me). Just unmissable.
