Jeff Wayne - Horsell Common And The Heat Ray download song

I remember my uncle had me listen to this during summer which left me while out playing with friends on are BMXs looking up at the bright blue sky imagining them bursting through the atmosphere cracking the clouds on entry ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

A little bit of useless information: Sound engineers tried and failed to come up with the sound for the "unscrewing of the cylinder", one of the guy's had to pop to the toilet, passing a large cardboard tube propped up against a wall, he then grabbed the tube, with his mouth over one end of the tube he pointed the tube into the toilet bowl and made sounds from his mouth, adding echo to create the masterpiece.

The music is not just music, it actually tells the story - so awesome even after 40 years this music still stirs me.

Who's using this album as the soundtrack for the Corona Virus pandemic?! Particularly this creepy tune...

what a tune used to scare the living shiiiiite out of me when I was a kid and now it's one of my favourite albums absolutely classic Richard burtons voice is mesmerising love it ;-) ullaaaa! ha!

I wonder what H.G. Wells would have thought about this adaptation of his book? I would like to imagine he would have liked it.

THE LID FELL OFF

The lid fell off. The containment apparatus moved towards the ground. The upwards facing unit designed to prevent spillage dislodged in a downward motion.

Cool bass line at the beginning.

I grew up listening to this album and then listened to this album on my road trip between Perth and Canberra a couple of months ago, a trip of over 3000km. This album is amazing for a road trip!!

I remember my dad playing the entire musical/Album in the car I was maybe 7 or 8 years old I was scared shittless thinking this could happen in real life Good Times

4:09 the way the guitar hits like that gives me goosebumps

15 years old , my cousin gave me a loan of this album and said ' Matt, put the lights out , headphones on . I was spellbound , terrified and in total awe of what my ears were experiencing. It still has that effect at 53 years of age . Timeless .

Richard Burton's narrative is the absolute icing on the cake here. How did they manage to get him to do this???

I love the ulllllllaaaaaaa sound

the overdubbed lead guitar and fuzz guitar brillianty done perfect synced

When you pause the music but the unscrewing doesn’t stop.

Not that I'd ever condone skipping ahead: but 7:35-9:43 is, in my considered opinion, the apex of prog-rock.

When was a little kid, I remember my mother sticking a pair of over-ear-headphones on me and putting this on for me saying "you'll love it". The unscrewing of the cylinder was just about the creepiest thing I'd ever heard at that point.
