Roger Waters-Amused to Death


Had never heard of this album until I heard 'It's a Miracle' and just had to buy it.
Original authorised copies on Columbia are very rare (Limited Edition Set) and mastered direct to lacquer from all-analogue Master Tapes.
IT'S A MIRACLE

@halcro  Have you heard the Roger Waters 'In The Flesh Tour' DVD? Simply brilliant.

what is wrong with me
why am I so out of breath?

the bartender says
”excuse me ma’am
but the species has
amused itself to death”.
It may be a technically great recording but I have had problems warming up to it regarding several things. The choice of female vocal always struck me the wrong way. It, in it's totality, doesn't come near some of RW other lps. I own the AP lp
Thank the Lord I am not on my own on my distaste for this piece of work.

Had held off commenting as I always get flak about it.

For me it is just not musical and comes across as a disjointed effort with some great special effects.

I will take Hitchhiking or Radio K.A.O.S anyday.
