Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters?

Stumpie,

I have Robben Ford and The Blue Line - Stretch Records/GRP STD-6004 20 Bit Super CD. This has fabulous sound. Is that the one you meant?

"Amused to Death" has the funky QSound to appeal to your senses. Not sure about it now, though I thrashed the hell out of it way back when. And well recorded it is. But while I'm not so down on it as Stevecham, it's not what I'd reach for.

I think I'll go with Santana "Caravanserai" on JSACD. Here are moments of truly sublime rock music, pushing the boundaries, and a sound to die for.

Regards,

I try not to let lyrics concern me therefore I think The Final Cut is great and sounds mighty good on vinyl. I don't have the CD.

Caravanserai is great on CD. I haven't heard the SACD. But would love to.

Fade into Light on DVDA by Boz Scaggs is mighty fine sounding.

Elton John/Elton John on the UNI label is killer on vinyl.

Up/Peter Gabriel SACD is great and even better in surround.

Mudcrutch on vinyl sounds great and comes with an uncompressed CD.

Must'nt forget Life on a String by Laurie Anderson on CD.

There's way too many to list.

I forgot about the Seal recording..that is very good. Again, my point is not whether Amused to Death has a great story or such, simply that it is a remarkable recording (although I do like 70% of the tracks). I personally think Roger has some major issues..including hating the USA. I saw him in Denver this year and he actually equates G. Bush to Bin Laden (puts it up on the screen)..that pissed me off and not that I am a fan of GWB. I am sure that he has no problem taking $100+ for each ticket from US citizens. Also, I very much prefer Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and DSOM for the music content. I am also not strictly referring to the Q-Sound effect, although it is kinda cool. Thanks to all for the feedback.

If you are a PF fan you should get the D. Gilmour album On An Island. It's quite good. And check out the DVD Remember That Night. It's a two disc set and is also available on Blu-Ray with high quality sound. The DVD videos sound great. R. Waters makes a cameo on the bonus disc as well as N. Mason. They don't play. But there are some great ones that do including Rick Wright and Phil Manzanera.

Another tip for "Life On A String," especially if your cdp decodes HDCD. The sound is phenomenal. The bass on track 6 will give your woofers a workout.
As for "Amused To Death," I never thought of it as well recorded because of the Q sound. I love it but thought of it as trickery. Artistically, FANTASTIC!
