Written by Johnson Stephen on March 18, 2022
‘Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds’ is released 18th March 2022 in breath-taking new spatial audio mixes, 360 Reality Audio and in Dolby Atmos.
Jeff Wayne is incredibly excited about the latest mixes, he comments “As a musician who has worked in just about every medium of sound, you always wonder where the ’next’ big breakthrough will come from and when. Well now I know and there isn’t just one new system, but two, that are establishing themselves worldwide, be it for all forms of music environments with 360 Reality Audio as well as in cinemas and home entertainment systems via the Dolby Atmos technology. These newest technologies have given us virtually limitless spatial placement along with ‘movement’ within the mix as one wishes that sets quite unbelievable new standards.”

The multiple layers of my original score and production are released into the spatial new world that these technologies offer. Not that I could have imagined this potential in the mid 1970s when I was first composing and producing the original double album! I was also fortunate to produce these new spatial mixes at The Crypt Studios in London with David Simpson and together I believe we made a great team of bringing my Martian tale into the forefront of today’s audio world.”
The lead track from the album ‘Forever Autumn’ was recently released as a brand new digital EP, breathing new life into the iconic song. Watch the official lyric video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaotvNLyJpU
