I spent this morning listening to the remaster of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. This is some trippy shiit.
I haven't heard this in full in well over 20 years. I'm listening to it now with much more experienced ears. I'm in awe at the brilliance of this work. The retelling of the story, the musical themes, the songs, the lyrics. This is a masterpiece. While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I think that it has to be admired for the creativity and sheer magnitude of accomplishment.
I only wish that I had a SACD player to listen to it in its full glory.
