I didn't know Wakeman did a third album, that means I'll have to listen to it.
Something else to listen to would be the team called Alien Voices. It was a series of classic S.F. stories from Wells, and other authors that were performed like an an old time radio broadcast with sound effects and performed by members of the Star Trek cast. That was a requirement, you had to be in Star Trek, somewhere. At one point they did a live broadcast of First Men in the Moon and televised it on stage, complete with people doing the effects, right on stage.
Did you know that there was more than one War of the Worlds broadcast done? I watched Orson Wells do an interview and the subject of his radio show came up. He started by saying he didn't know what troublel was until they did that show and the police walked into the studio. They had no idea anything was wrong until then and had to put a disclaimer on the air to hopefully calm things down. People had started listening to the radio and missed it being a play, didn't caatch a detail like the radio station in NYC sent a radio truck to the Jersey marshes, some 30 miles or more away using dirt roads, no paved highways back then, with a music interlude of maybe a minute or two until the truck arrived on scene. Then there was the famous part where the radio reporter was stationed on the roof of a building describing the Martain machines wading the harbor and releasing poison gas as he started chocking and dropped from view. It was ah heck of a pre war night.
Some years after WWII, it was tried again in South America, once again ending in panic. The public responded badly, burning down the station and killing almost a dozen people.
In the 60s or early 70s, someone did it again, this time along the Canadian border. Once again the public fell for it. Never again that I know of.
