1978 prog opera version of the H.G. Wells novel with voice acting by the silver-mercury-voiced Richard Burton and others…
is pretty fuckin great…
i know the description might not put into your head something you'd enjoy but i think you'd be surprised…

includes:
* british session legions Herbie Flowers (electric bass) and Chris Spedding (guitars)
* a dude from Moody Blues w/ a great singing voice
* the deceased thin lizzy bloke
* fantastic voice acting/spoken word by brit theatre bigshots
* songs that have a very "anime soundtrack" + "chiptune/arcade game" aesthetic
* cool illustrations from the original LP booklet

here is the youtube playlist for the full double album:

>Multiple good / interesting War of the Worlds adaptations
>Day of the Triffids has mediocre adaptations, at best

No, but I'll put it on my list. He does ghost stories right? I like M.R James' stuff

of blackwood i've only read the willows and yeah it's a sort of subtle ghost story, quick read, only 70pgs. kind of like an early 20th century, impressionistic The Ruins in novella tone poem form

glad you mentioned MR James, his stuff looks right up my alley

i am always looking for good recommendations and shitshootin and horror/dark fantasy is one of my favorite genres, so i'm makin a thread >>214

He made two albums, the original and the "new gen" version where he adds new instruments and technology to make it sound newer. he also made three videogames, one rts, one graphic adventure and a car driving game
>>201 doesnt it have like 200 radio dramas and voice acted versions?
