REVIEW: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds

Get immersed into the world of HG Wells' novel War of the Worlds with
Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds. Originally
released in 1978, Jeff's music has had many fans and has grown to
become a classic. Now a whole new generation will be exposed to this
galactic experience. And they will be pleasantly surprised at how
quickly the music will pull them into the story a create a whole new
world from HG Wells words.

At times the music seems a little dated [at one point it is very
reminiscent of Logan's Run or the disco scenes from Buck Roger's in
the 25th Century], but that feeling quickly disappears as one becomes
so engulfed in the music and what it is telling us above and beyond
the words of the narration.

Fans of the both the book and films will find this to be a remarkable
addition to the entire War of the Worlds experience.
