  Amazon.com: Somewhere in Time: Music: Iron Maiden   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
I know I missed out on the album art detail with the cassette, but records were well on their way out at this time, and I wanted to listen to this album on the way home.
But time has a way of putting things in perspective; and looking back at this album, knowing what was going on within the band at this time, and hearing the music again after all those years, I find I enjoy listening to the whole thing.
Somewhere in Time is not a "concept" album like its follow-up, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, but its comes close at times (ha, get it).

  IRON MAIDEN Somewhere In Time reviews and MP3
Albums like “Somewhere In Time” (this album) and “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” are definitely progressive enough to be included here, as well as the rest of their discography, concidering that their post-“Fear of The Dark” albums all featuring strong progressive elements to them.
Released at the top of their carrer, “Somewhere In Time” was stepping even further into progressive terretory and saw Iron Maiden experimenting with guitar synths, giving the music a dark and spacey atmosphere throughout the album.
Some Maiden fans found this album irretating and “cheesy” because of that when it was released back in 1986, but I think it works extremely well, especially on the album opener “Caught Somewhere In Time” which sets the mood for the album perfectly.

 Donny Osmond - Somewhere In Time | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, ...
The album starts off with the incredibly clichéd “Without You” (as in “I can’t live if living is without you”) and it fails to gain any originality.
Granted it is a cover album, but it is one of those cover albums that attempts to recreate the songs note-for-note which always begs the question “Why cover it?” Plus, Somewhere in Time has a rendition of Paul Anka’s “Puppy Love” and that is just uncalled for.
This album would be fine listening for an elevator or dentist office muzak, but Donny and his team of collaborators could have done a much better job than releasing what essential sounds like a really bad adult contemporary pop album from the early 80’s.

 [No title]
While pretty much all of the Iron Maiden albums pre-No Prayer for the Dying are what I would call classics, I have to admit that Somewhere in Time has been overlooked in subsequent years, primarily because it was sandwiched between two of my personal favorites, Powerslave and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Anger album, the biggest problem The big problem I have with this album is the way the instruments were recorded.
Bottom line: A great album by a great band, recorded at the peak of glam-metal's popularity on MTV, at a time when Judas Priest was putting out Turbo and Ozzy had The Ultimate Sin.

 Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time review
The band took some time off before recording 'Somewhere In Time', but even when they reconvened Dickinson was still burned out and contributed no new songs.
Ludicrously, Dickinson wanted the album to be an all acoustic affair, something he claimed upon leaving the band in 1993.

 Somewhere in Time (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somewhere in Time is the sixth studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 29 September 1986.
Bruce Dickinson's song material was refused in favour of the songs of guitarist Adrian Smith, who wrote the bulk of the songs identified with the album (including the singles "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land ").
The album art, particularly that for the song 'Stranger in a Strange Land' was a major inspiration for the music video "The Angel and the Gambler" from the Virtual XI album in 1998.

 Somewhere in Time (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somewhere in Time is a 1980 time travel romance film directed by Jeannot Szwarc, written by Richard Matheson and starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer, and Teresa Wright.
Although this movie was well received during its previews, it was ruthlessly trashed by the critics upon release and was unsuccessful at the box office.
The film is adapted from the 1975 novel Bid Time Return by science fiction writer Richard Matheson, which was subsequently re-released under the film's title.

 Earthbound Timelords: "Connected Somewhere in Time: Doctor Who and Iron Maiden"
CONNECTED SOMEWHERE IN TIME: Doctor Who and Iron Maiden by Zepo 13 September 1999 Being a television program that was seen by millions of people both domestically in the UK and over seas, _Doctor Who_ as a popular culture phenomenon eventually had the effect of finding itself adapted to other elements of pop culture.
It was perhaps best described: Most memorable of all, however, 'Somewhere In Time' also came with one of Maiden's best album sleeves ever: the ubiquitous Eddie shedding his mummy's bandages to return as a cross between the bad Arnie from The Terminator I and something from Captain Kirk's worst nightmare.
So at a time when the future of Doctor Who seemed as it might be in doubt, Iron Maiden as a band showed their support for the show by including references to it on their album and single covers.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Somewhere In Time [ECD] [Limited] - Iron Maiden at Epinions.com
In 1986, Iron Maiden's lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, was on MTV describing what the next album sounded like and he said, "it's cosmic jazz." Well, 'Somewhere In Time' is no jazz record but it may be more cosmic heavy metal as Maiden evolved their style yet again.
Like their previous studio effort, 'Time' has only 8 tracks but clocks in at over 51 minutes.
Despite the futuristic theme of 'Time', Maiden tackles a historical icon in "Alexander The Great." Overall, 'Somewhere In Time' is not as well rounded as 'Powerslave' but is still packed with Iron Maiden's classic sound and style albeit influenced by their affection for synths at the time.

 Borders - Store Inventory - Title Detail - Somewhere in Time
John Barry's score for Somewhere in Time is one of those instances where film music completely transcends the movie it originates from, and takes on a life of its own outside of its original context.
The elegant main theme for piano and orchestra (performed by Roger Williams in a beautiful arrangement here) is only part of the listening pleasure to be derived from the soundtrack, which also includes the gorgeous "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini," by Rachmaninoff.
It truly is one of the loveliest scores in Barry's long, established career of composing many lyrical, soothing scores, and its continued status as a successful soundtrack album stands as a testament to the music's enduring popularity with listeners.

 IRON MAIDEN Somewhere In Time review by zaxx(Olivier Benard)
This album is simply amazing - the compositions are flawless, the production is perfect, the futuristic artwork matching perfectly the more polished sound of the album making it sound more modern.
"Caught Somewhere In Time" opens the album with an epic feeling - it's still fast paced Maiden, but the sound has clearly changed with the addition of the guitar synths.
And "Alexander The Great" closes the album with a great epic inspired by the life of King Alexander of Macedon.

This time around I wrote all the lyrics before anything else, so the song structures are a little tighter to the lyrics.
On the cerebral level, this is an album speaks to those who want to live independently from all rules and regulations, from those written in the law books, to those that are 'innately' attached to us from birth.
This album presents the listener with a strict guideline of regurgitations and rools to reach disattachment and disenfranchise their business from the corporate monopoly that threatens to touch each and every one of us in our 'no-no zone.' This was all done solo because all of my friends are married to corruption."

After the interlude that Live After Death afforded the band, Somewhere In Time marked a new approach, a new sound, with the introduction of synthesisers, which created a much richer sound.
Also, while still a pounding, driving album, a true heavy metal classic, at the same time it was all a lot more subtly done than Powerslave, with more vocal harmonies than had ever been heard on a Maiden album before.
