NEW & SEALED DELUXE LIMITED EDITION 200 GRAM VINYL ON 2 LP'S! Less than 1,000 records per stamper! Pressed on virgin vinyl. Highest quality jackets and rice paper inner sleeves. From the original master tapes!
An unblinking look at an entertainment-obsessed society, Amused to Death
addresses issues that have only grown in complexity and urgency over
the past two decades. With Amused to Death, Roger Waters sounded the
alarm about a society increasingly — and unthinkingly — in thrall to its
television screens. Twenty-three years later, Amused to Death speaks to
our present moment in ways that could scarcely have been anticipated
two decades ago. In 2015, television is just one option in an endless
array of distractions available to us anytime, anywhere, courtesy of our
laptops, tablets and smartphones. With eyes glued to our screens, the
dilemmas and injustices of the real world can easily recede from view.
The 2015 SACD edition of Amused to Death features a new 5.1 surround
remix of the album completed by longtime Roger Waters / Pink Floyd
collaborator and co-producer, James Guthrie. The art has been updated
for 2015 by Sean Evans, the creative director of Waters’ 2010-2013 “The
Wall Live” tour and movie.
