The War of The Worlds
16 Apr
One of the most innovative, groundbreaking, ambitious and expensive projects of its time, the making of Jeff Wayne's Musical version of The War of The Worlds was almost as epic as the final work itself. The musical interpretation, in fact, took nearly three times longer to create than the original novel did! But like Wells' original novel, the album's appeal has continued long after many of its imitators have faded into obscurity.
For many people Jeff Wayne's album offers more than just 95 minutes of musical escapism; it offers an introduction to a literary world that might otherwise never be explored; a world in which fantastic interplanetary adventures are given life, nightmares become reality, and a world in which even the craziest, most disturbing notions are feasible.
Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds has grown into a true classic, acquiring new generations of devoted followers since its original release.
AWARDS:
The War of The Worlds has won two prestigious UK Ivor Novello Awards and the US Best Recording in Science Fiction and Fantasy (the judges included Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg). Jeff Wayne also won Classic Rock's 'Showman of The Year' Award.
