Talk about a blockbuster: This is it. A very
limited double LP originally released more than 20
years ago, 'Amused To Death' is reborn on
200-gram double LP from Analogue Productions.
'Amused To Death' was mixed by Pink Floyd's
producer/engineer James Guthrie. And Doug Sax and
Guthrie are working together to master the vinyl,
to be pressed to perfection by Quality Record
Pressings!
A beautiful album conceptually, lyrically, and
musically
For his third solo album, Roger Waters, former
bassist/singer/songwriter and founding member of
Pink Floyd, takes listeners on a journey through
his mind as he examines how human society has been
affected through mass media and particularly
television. This complex concept album takes its
title from a book by author Neil Postman that also
explores and alerts us to the dangers of the ways
the media shapes our lives. In the title track,
aliens arrive on Earth after the extinction of
humans - finding merely skeletons gathered around
TV sets. The alien anthropologists run every
imaginable test to try and determine the reason
for this 'sad demise'. Their conclusion? ?This
species has amused itself to death?.
Visually, the concept is depicted by a cover shot
of a gorilla watching television ? ?just flipping
channels, looking for something that interests
him?, Waters says. Like many of us today.
Q magazine describes 'Amused To Death' as sounding
more like a Pink Floyd album than any other
Waters solo effort to date. It is the brother of
'The Wall', perhaps even the distant cousin of
'Dark Side Of The Moon', which should delight fans
of those albums.
So rare are original pressings of 'Amused To
Death' that copies today sell for more than $800
in like-new condition. For this historic reissue
there will be nothing spared. Let us reiterate:
This edition is cut from the analog master tapes.
James Guthrie and Doug Sax are teaming up to
master the vinyl version, to be pressed to
perfection by Quality Record Pressings!
'Amused To Death' was originally mixed using
QSound, a virtual surround sound, enhancing the
spatial feel of the music along with the various
sound effects sprinkled throughout the album. The
Analogue Productions' reissue will faithfully
preserve this three-dimensional experience.
'Amused To Death' is beautifully recorded, lavish
in depth and rich in sound. The 14 tracks flow
into each other, meaning the album is best
consumed whole. To shuffle tracks is to read
random pages from a multi-page essay in no
particular order. Waters tackles subjects as
varied as capitalism, war, religion, American fast
food, television, film director Stanley Kubrick
and Broadway composer Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Waters enlists some striking studio partnerships:
Don Henley joins him on vocals for 'Watching TV',
the National Philharmonic Orchestra leaps in for
'Too Much Rope', and Rita Coolidge pops up during
the title track. Waters also recruited for musical
support legendary guitarist Jeff Beck. The
quality of production by Waters, Nick Griffiths
and Patrick Leonard is simply superb.
Working once again with James Guthrie to craft a
vital reissue of a truly significant album is a
great opportunity for Acoustic Sounds, says
founder and CEO Chad Kassem.
?Whenever you get the chance to work with James
Guthrie, it's exciting. Our goals are to produce
the highest quality product possible?, Kassem
said. ?I think we make a good team. He brings his
expertise to the project, and I bring mine. When
you get to work with the guy who worked on the
album originally, and who you know is a
perfectionist, it makes you excited and confident
that the album will be the best it can be.?
'Amused To Death' is cinema for the ears. Food for
the brain. It's an album that Waters says,
?literally unfolds with repeated play. The more
you listen, the more you see.?
