Heard him talking about it on Radio 4 this morning. It seems he has completely re-recorded
the whole thing, with contemporary singers including Gary Barlow, Maverick Sabre, Joss
Stone, Alex Clare, and Ricky Wilson... with Liam Neeson as the narrator. Apparently only
the 'ooh-la' war cry sound of the Martian machines has been retained from the original
(because they "couldn't make it sound any better")! Not sure if this is a
cynical re-issue to fund his pension by cashing in on a new generation of audience who
will buy it to hear their contemporary vocalists... or whether it really is bringing a
genuinely new interpretation of a much loved classic. I strongly suspect the former!  Hugh

My fears exactly Hugh!.. I really can't see them matching the voices of Phil Lynott and
Julie Covington with any current offerings, but I guess will shall see.. ..Surely it can't be a bigger flop than Spartacus was

heard it - or rather some of it - pre-mixing.
Utter utter poop and
shows how some people dont understand what made them good in the first place!! It's
EXACTLY like the old "feed the world" against the one that came out not too many years
back.....
