Halloween Track: War of the Worlds

Uuuuuuuu-laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!



This is my ultimate Halloween music- innovative, creepy, and melancholy by turns. Jeff Wayne put together a dramatic album based on HG Wells' The War of The Worlds and using the talents of Richard Burton, Justin Hayward, Phil Lynott, Julie Covington, and Chris Thompson.

The chances of anything coming from Mars were a million to one, they said. But come they did, and Jeff Wayne's utilization of Moog synthesizers and dramatic horns and woodwinds is the perfect way to portray the terror and call to bravery for humanity. More on this later!
