The Mercury Theater on the Air - H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds (October 30th, 1938)

Mp3, Stereo, 128 kbps, 50.6 MB















From the CD booklet:

The original, uncut dramatization!

On the foggy fall evening of October 30, 1938, America went to war with Mars!

Adapted for radio by Howard Koch and starring Orson Welles, War of the Worlds was presented as a special Halloween thriller, or as Welles put it: "The Mercury Theater's own radio version of dressing up in a sheet and jumping out of a bush and saying 'boo!'" But for those who tuned in late, "normal" programming appeared to be interrupted with the startling news that there were "explosions occurring on the Planet Mars!" Reports followed stating that a "huge, flaming object" had fallen to Earth on a farm near Grover's Mill, New Jersey. More landings were soon reported and an anxious radio audience came to the frightening conclusion that Earth was the target of a full-scale invasion by aliens!

'...Some shape is rising out of the pit.
I can make out a small beam of light againt a mirror.
What's that...It's a jet of flames springing from that mirror and it's pointed right at the heads of the men.
It strikes them head-on! They're turning to flames!'

This is the program which terrified a nation. Thousands fled their homes in panic. In the town of Grover's Mill, the local water tower was pumped full of buckshot as frightened believers fired at what they thought was a giant Martian war machine. The true power of broadcast made itself known on this Halloween eve. And no one has forgotten the chilling fear and awesome force of this, radio's single most famous broadcast!"

Brit-hop

I recently came across this album by accident and was surprised to discover how good it is. This album is a great precursor to the trip-hop scene that was to emerge out of England in the mid-1990s. This is a lot of laid-back electronic funk, with a bit of hip-hop and a bit of soul. The early 90s was the only era where I liked dance music, so believe me when I say that for this album to get my attention is an accomplishment.

From the House of Cash

After his death in 2003, the vaults at House of Cash were excavated and cleaned. What was discovered was dozens of previously unreleased recordings by Cash, most of them recorded between 1973 and 1982. Every track on this compilation features nothing but Cash and his guitar, some tracks are just storytelling without musical accompaniment. There's a mix of covers, spirituals, and original compositions. This isn't a beginner's album for Johnny Cash, but I recommend it anyway. Personal File was released in 2006. These are whopper downloads.

Nu Yorican

Harlem River Drive was the brainchild of latin jazz pianist Eddie Palmieri. Assembling a supergroup of black and Puetro Rican musicians from New York City, this is a jam-oriented album that combines funk, soul and salsa. This album is only about a half-hour, but it is a very often overlooked chapter in the history of Afro-Latin jazz. This is just amazing stuff.
