[War of The Worlds] [Jeff Wayne] [1978] [LP] No one would have believed In the last years of the nineteenth century That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized . As someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets And yet, across the gulf of space Minds immeasurably superior to ours Regarded this Earth with envious eyes And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us . At midnight, on the 12th of August A huge mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth Across two hundred million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us Came the first of the missiles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth . As I watched, there was another jet of gas It was another missile, starting on its way And that's how it was for the next ten nights A flare, spurting out from Mars. Bright green, drawing a green mist behind it, a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight Ogilvy, the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. He was convinced there could be no living thing on that remote, forbidding planet . "The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one" he said "The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one" But still they come!

2 disques en bon état Pochette en état d'usage Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds est un album concept, composé par le musicien britannique Jeff Wayne (en), inspiré du roman La Guerre des mondes de H. G. Wells. Sorti en 1978, l'album deviendra culte au Royaume-Uni. La particularité du double album de 90 minutes est qu'il alterne les parties narratives, l'histoire de l'invasion extraterrestre à Londres, au début du xixe siècle, selon le témoignage d'un journaliste (joué par Richard Burton), et les parties musicales, chantées par les protagonistes rencontrés par le journaliste (les chansons sont principalement du rock progressif). L'album peut être considéré comme un opéra-rock. Considéré comme révolutionnaire (surtout pour sa partie musicale avec l'utilisation d'un orchestre à corde et des synthétiseurs), l'album sera, à de nombreuses reprises, joué en live avec un orchestre. Les singles seront de grands succès, en particulier Forever Autumn chanté par Justin Hayward. L'album aura droit a de nombreuses rééditions, signe de son succès intemporel.  #oiseaumortvintage #melodieensoussol #butindechine #retourdechine #waroftheworlds #jeffwayne https://www.instagram.com/p/CiuNJv2s6yb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It sits at the gothic intersection of scifi and Victorian horror, depicting an interplanetary war between our world and Mars. ☄ First published in serial form in 1897, H. G. Wells' novel follows an unnamed male narrator, attempting to make his way home to his wife. At his side, the reader experiences a recognisable landscape descend into chaos; simultaneously, monsters fall from the sky as fear transforms the humans on the ground into monsters themselves. ☄ Wells' original story has seen many successful adaptations, including Orson Welles' infamous radio performance and Jeff Wayne's musical imagining. I am lucky enough to have seen the latter on the stage in pre-pandemic days. Following the real world events of the past year[? Years? Lifetime?] how could my first journey into the big city be for anything but Jeff Wayne's 'The War of the Worlds' immersive experience? Short answer: it could not! A combination of live action drama, virtual reality, music and film, the fourth wall was shattered upon entry. ☄ Putting the horrors of reality out of mind for a few hours, it was the perfect treat. Really, what better way to unwind than with a simulated Martian invasion?! ☄ Oh, and a little anonymous shout-out to my future bro for surprising me with a stunning edition of the novel that I had long coveted! 🙏 . #thewaroftheworlds #hgwells #ofmonstersandmen #scifi #victorianliterature #victoriannovel #gothicnovel #generallygothic #gothic #bookstagram #bookish #hardback #edwardgorey #illustratednovel #jeffwayne https://www.instagram.com/p/CTHyJ7_DniM/?utm_medium=tumblr
