This is a nice one. I never thought anyone could match Richard Burton, but Liam Neeson credits himself 🙂 thanks for the upload

Thank you share!

Thanks for the share… it was an interesting listen, however I don’t think its incredibly successful in its goal. Ultimately, it sounds too close to the source material for it to be considered a separate experience, with merely low-quality electronica thrown in here and there and the odd additional sound effect, and I doubt it is going to appeal to much of a younger (and/or wider) audience.

Liam Neeson was a good choice for Narrator, but personally I prefer the Richard Burton version mainly due to better pacing and drama.

Thanks for the upload. I’m enjoying this. Like Clemery says, its not a revolutionary overhaul of the original. All music has been re-produced to more contemporary tastes, but there’s nothing to offend fans of the original release. And I have to say, while I love Burton’s recording, there’s something about Neeson that’s perfect for this. A classic with a new twist.

Thanks for sharing. It’s amazing to see how Jeff Wayne turned this album into a veritable franchise.

Thank you – I was not aware that this existed. Most definitely worth checking out, as I’m a huge fan of the original.

Gosh, I was so skeptical about this one, and stubborn too. How could the magnificent original 1978 recording be improved upon? Once I started listening; it all became apparent to me. This stands out as another excellent rendition, and for fans of the original it is absolutely well worth checking out.

I thought this was quite good actually. Different but it clearly respected the original.

Has anybody had any issue with the .cue files though? I can’t get the cue files to work right and even cuetools can’t seem to fix them like it usually can.

Issue? Why would you need them? Unless you’re planning on making a perfect copy of the actual CD. Which is… illegal, i guess… 😛

Seriously, open the cue file in notepad and you’ll see this (just using one line):

FILE "05 – Brave New World.wav" WAVE

It is referring to a wav-file and what you have here are flac-files. I suppose that could be the problem. And besides, the file name itself (Noncompliant.cue) could also be a hint… Note that i haven’t even tried correcting the cue-file so…

Right but that’s what cuetools does – it normally corrects the cue file if you drop it in the program – it fixes issues like the "WAVE" lines in the cue sheet. But for some reason cuetools which normally has no issue fixing cue sheets can’t fix these for some reason. I can’t figure out why it doesn’t like these particular cue sheets. Very odd. Now and then I come across cue sheets that I can’t seem to do anything with.

I like to use the cue sheets in my external media player which reads them. And they’re important for burning gapless tracks if you were planning on burning a CD as you said (I just use my media player).

Makes me want to hear the original again….LOL!!! Any one have it?

Thanks for posting this new version!

Any chance this could be re-uploaded? I’m curious to hear it.

I too would like to hear it and do a comparison.

Loved the 1978 version!

Thank you.
