This looks like the old "War Of The Worlds" with newer artists like Joss Stone. I don't know how it will be, but I've always loved the old one. In fact, I'd love to see a DVD/Blu Ray of the live performance which I've only see online. It was a UK only release, PAL-Region 2.

This looks interesting, I have the remastered original and always thought it was cool.

PBS periodically shows the performance filmed a few years ago (with Justin Hayward reprising his vocals from the original album, which, it says above, came out in 1878!!!). I really only liked "Forever Autumn" from the original album.

i bought this last month - a copy for me and a copy for my boyfriend.
it's a nice reincarnation, albeit not all that different from the original.
i'd say it's updated and marginally modernized, if anyone asked.
worth having for the avid fan.
i wish a clean edit of the new "Forever Autumn" track had been included.

While I'm a fan of the original album I really don't see the point of this. It's a pity Wayne has never really been able to move on, did anyone ever hear what his Spartacus album was like?
