Just found a musical rarity

[jeffwaynefan]

Shifting through some boxes on the market full of music cassettes I was able to find the rare and long deleated album by 'Ben Liebrand' - STYLES, done in 1990.

Ben was responsible for the brilliant 'The Eve Of The War' remix in December of 1989, taken from Jeff Wayne's album.

Here is a run down of the tracks on the album released by Epic/CBS

1/ Intro Styles
2/ Puls(t)ar
3/ The Eve Of The War (taken from TWOTW)
4/ Move To The Music
5/ Spanish Jam
6/ I Wish
7/ A Love Come True

9/ Overture In C Minor - Opus 29
10/ Pump Up The Bass
11/ Give Me An Answer
12/ For The Love Of The Music
13/ Mankind Strikes Back (taken from TWOTW)
14/ Puls(t)sar Remix - Bonus Track

Mankind strikes back? From JW'S The War of the worlds? Explain...

I haven't played the 12'' of the Ben Liebrand remix for many years but I remember 'Mankind Strikes Back' being the B Side (I think). I'm sure that that track despite it's title is nothing to do with WotW.

Is Puls(t)ar a version of the Vangelis track (from Albedo 0.39)- I think used or ripped off as the music for Think Of A Number with Johnny Ball in the '80s?

'Mankind Strikes Back' is from 'The Eve Of The War' - it's the opening orchestral sound sampled and played back in a differant chord pattern.

Yeppers, Pus(t)sar is the classic Vangalis synth track 'Pulsar'.

Was it? Oh, well, I distinctly remember thinking it was sh*t, anyway.

Your spot on there, without doubt, the worst sampled WOTW sounds done - so far ;D
