The Profile

English composer and musician best known for the 1978 concept album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of 'The War Of The Worlds', combining rock, orchestra and narration.

The 1978 War of the Worlds album features guest performers (e.g. Richard Burton narration, Justin Hayward, Phil Lynott), extensive production using orchestral and electronic instruments, and has a long-lived presence as a staged/live show.

The available DeBaser review praises Jeff Wayne's 1978 concept album for its ambitious production, orchestration and notable guest performers. Theatrical narrations and long running time are noted drawbacks. The work is judged experimentally courageous and well crafted, and its live staging is recommended.
