Roger Waters – “Amused To Death”, Analogue Productions, 4 x 180g

Roger Waters startede på at lave “Amused To Death allerede i 1987 og har optaget numrene i forskellige lydstudier, blandt andet Abbey Road Studios i London. Albummet er mixed i Q-Sound der placerer 3-D effekter i lydbilledet, blandt andet samples af skud, biler, fly oget meget andet. Denne version, der er remastered af Analogue Productions, understøtter dette optimalt med en sublim lyd kvalitet. Pladen har et virkeligt stort antal suveræne gæste musikere, blandt andet: Jeff Pocaro, John Patitucci, Jeff Beck, Steve Lukather, Don Henley, Rita Coolige, PP Arnold, mfl. Se den imponerende liste nedenfor. Pladens coverbillede er en reference til Stanley Kubrick’s film “2001: A Space Odyssey” og albummet refererer til mennesker der passivt og bevistløst sluger nyheds information fra TV.
