Check out the eBook "Joe Meek's Bold Techniques 2nd Edition" by Barry Cleveland, chockablock with information about Meek's production techniques and his extraordinary contributions to recording.

It is interesting how Joe Meek's fascination with space, extraterrestrial life, non-human intelligences and the occult is often played down or somehow seen as the epiphenomena of his queer 'outsider' status when personally I think it is central to his psyche and the way he was able to absorb, integrate and communicate new sonic possibilities that existed far beyond the consensus reality of post-war Britain's musical landscape..great video!

Another classic case of "what might have been" Meek and Goddard's partnership was very original & productive but Joe's "control freakiness" hurt Geoff & others & bought things to an end far too soon. Meek had a creative technical genius decades before his time, so sad. Just imagine the Beatles & Tom Jones "under his wing" too! How different they could all have been with those spacey echoes, clangs, buzzes & twangs ...Imagine!

Great song, how could this not reach the chart ?

The Martian man's voice, and tinny sounding instruments create the right atmosphere. quite a collection of images.

I'm speechless. Wow.

@rnrmst totally agree, bonkers!
I played "i hear a new world" to my mates the other day - they laughed - but when you compare it to what was around at the time it was years ahead!
meek on acid in 67 would be total universal chaos!
genius!
