I Hear A New World
I Hear a New World: an outer space music fantasy is a concept album devised and composed by Joe Meek and recorded by the Blue Men in 1959. It was released in part in 1960 and in full in 1991 by RPM Records. It was later analyzed by Barry Cleveland in his book, Creative Music Production: Joe Meek's Bold Techniques.
In its September 1998 issue (number 175), music magazine The Wire listed the album in the lead article "100 Records that Set the World on Fire (When No One Was Listening)". It was described as having a "profound influence on artists as diverse as Steven Stapleton and Saint Etienne". The title song was covered by the Television Personalities, Mark Sultan and They Might Be Giants in 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words hear and/or world:
“I should like a lover to think of the things that I think about. It is all very well being steady when you have got babies of your own; but that should be after ever so long. I should like to keep my lover as a lover for two years. And all that time he should like to dance with me, and to hear music, and to go about just when I would like to go.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the Good Neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
