@Whirrednerd totally agree that part, is nice and slow kinda mellow right? coming home after you worked your butt off at work and let your self fall on your chouch kinda feelin.... if you catch my drift.
I used to scare myself to death listening to this track through my older brothers headphones while hiding under my duvet with a torch looking at the scary pictures. It was 1978 and I was 11 lol
This is very frightening in the book. It takes place at night, or at least in the early hours of the morning. He just wanders around in the dark city, occasionally hearing the Martians cry. Chilling!
this is the most uneasy thing i have ever listened to. at first its quite calming the mix between guitar and synth, then it chills you to the bond with the narration and the ulllla, the martian battlecry.
Ever hair on my body is now standing on end, its so eary and spooky, you really get the feeling of him walking thru a dead city and how lonely he must be, and then this hidious unearthly howl, spooky and always gets me, you just dont get that in the films, no film of the war of the worlds has been this dark, we need a new version of the film this time set in the correct time period and not modern day garbage!
I do agree there. Trying to film the book exactly wouldn't work. Having said that, I found the Tom Cruse verson extremely true to the spirit of the book, if not the fact of it. (I'm not a fan of Cruse, but I overlooked that!). It scared me just as much, and had the same sense of desperate helplessness and a REALLY eerie Martian metallic war-cry! The "river of bodies" scene was beautifully done.
@Wharding85 Scared me to death as a kid when I used to sneak a listen to it when my brother and friends played it. People say Pink Floyd is timeless music and I agree with them but this is a masterpiece that will never be matched, replaced or duplicated. Pure genius for its time and for time eternal. After David Bowies 'Space Oddity" and 'Jungle Book', this album was my very next buy(Even tho it scared the shite out of me lol)
we get 'high' when we're scared. and certain combinations of sound vibrations scare us. that's across all cultures and races by the way. maybe it's distantly similar to wolves howling. which must have freaked our ancestors out for many millenia.
You should find the other parts of this book.I have downloaded this but there saz the man ulla on he's real voice and that sounds a bit stupid and sadly there is no musik.So please search for this.And sorry for my english...
I love this, and it captures the mood of Wells' writing perfectly. This is by far the best ending to a Sci-Fi story I've read. Ever. Makes you realize that perhaps despite man's view of superiority, even the smallest things we take for granted have the power to alter the way of things. :p
This is one of my favorite tracks on the Album. When i was younger i was so afraid of this because of the Martians, and its spooky sound. But now i am a huge fan of The War Of The Worlds.
Yeah ? Hehe well i am starting to get used to it now, but when i was 10 my uncle told me and my 12 year old brother how the martians would suck the blood out of people, some nice information for a 10 year old kid :D
This always makes me cry for some reason

@Wharding85 A movie wouldn't work, if you ask me. Books are, in my opinion, supposed to be taken as /you/ see them, the same thing for this album.
