War of the worlds

[MJ]

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 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.

Dun dun derrrrrrr
I first heard it when was a kid and that shit still sends shivers down my spine

[dersuuzala]

i dunno. i like the opening monologue, and some of the dialogue, but the music itself is pretty much the cheesiest stuff i've ever heard.

[MJ]

Have someone hear the "Musical" version by Jeff Wayne ? The music is total 70s. Great singers like Chris Thompson. And the words are spoken by Richard Burton. My father had this album & he played it again & again.
Nice youth memories.

[cowardly dj]

Know nothing of the musical or the tune to which you refer, but the book and movie were great.

That quote fucking rules.

I?me gonna put it through this kind of Speak&Spell thingy they have at AT&T?s site. It should be cool to have a robotic, computerized voice saying that stuff on a tune.

[Peter]

That quote is amazing!
I love this track

Always takes me back to Parks&Wilson epic essential mix in 2000
The finishing track
