Un buen día para volver a escuchar la versión musical de la novela “La Guerra de los Mundos” del escritor británico H. G. Wells, por Jeff Wayne. Con Richard Burton, David Essex, Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy), Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) y Julie Covington.

#discosdevinilo #vinylrecords #JeffWayne

Somehow I was (am?) convinced I “lost” this album and had no SACD media anymore. But I do still own the surround version of #waroftheworlds by #jeffwayne… Phew, don’t need to get rid of my #ps4 since I need it to properly enjoy the main disks…

Note to self, play it (them?) later today

Here. The original album version of Jeff Wayne’s The War of The World’s is available in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music.

I checked as The Spirut of Man sounded slightly different on my HomePod Stereo Pair.

I love Dolby Atmos with the passion of a converted sceptic.

The Spirit of Man section that follows The Red Weed Part 1 is so good. Phil Lynott and Julie Covington singing up a storm 🥰

Two days left of my week off. Today shall be mostly spent building an album rack for my vinyls whilst listening to lots and lots of great music.

Starting the day off with this one ❤️ 👽👾🛸

I’ve just turned off the ‘#NextGeneration’ version of #JeffWayne’s #WarOfTheWorlds

I’m sorry: but #RickyWilson as the #Artilleryman was just wrong … 

I also dusted off my #CD of #JeffWayne's musical version of the book and listened to it recently. It occurred to me how strange it was to pick 19th century work of #fiction for a #RockOpera. But, then again, why not? Great voice performance by #RichardBurton and contributions by musicians #DavidEssex and #PhilLynott, among others.

Such a classic. One of my favorite sci-fi things.

Farewell, Thunder Child!

When the smoke cleared, the little steamer had reached the misty horizon, and Carrie was safe.
But the Thunder Child had vanished taking with her man's last hope of victory.
The leaden sky was lit by green flashes, cylinder following cylinder, and no one and nothing was left now to fight them.
The Earth belonged to the Martians.

This evening has been an absolute belter so far, and it's only 19:35!

receiving a delivery from #Beer52,
fixing a major problem with my #Nextcloud instance,
listening to #JeffWayne's #WarOfTheWorlds, whilst
cooking an amazingly yummy #dinner for the family,
knowing that there's an episode of #PokerFace sat waiting to watch...

Ze hebben het gelukkig klein gehouden, deze voorstelling.

Listening to early Jean-Michel Jarre on #Spotify

Am smiling as I remember being a naive 16 year old being introduced to JMJ by his older audiophile cousin and me laughing and annoying him by asking "he's REALLY called John the Jam Jar?"

#misheard #artist

I was in awe of my cousin. He had this behemoth LP deck. He'd handle each record like a precious relic placing the stylus on the record with all due reverence.

Introduced me to the stereophonic wonders of his extensive record collection. I've him to thank for my love of #PinkFloyd , #Jarre, #Vangelis , #JeffWayne #WarofTheWorlds, #MikeOldfield #TubularBells , #ELO to name but a few. I'm eclectic in my musical tastes because he was.

Nigel Taylor sólo tenía 15 años cuando programó su ambicioso #WarOfTheWorlds en 1984, basado en la obra musical de #JeffWayne. Lo hizo fijándose en los juegos de rol que admiraba como #Valhalla, hasta dar forma a uno de los primeros #SurvivalHorror de la historia. Pese a su simpleza técnica tiene momentos muy brillantes, pero el peso de su ambición termina siendo excesivo para él.

I like the idea of this video but oh crumbs the animation is janky. Not AI jank mind you, this is proper human jank.

There must be something worth living for,
There must be something worth trying for,
Even some things worth dying for,
And if one man can stand tall,
There must be some hope for us all,
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man.
