This audiophile favorite — and a brisk seller since its Analogue Productions 33 1/3 reissue in 2015 - is back with an upgrade
Now a 45 RPM 4LP 180-gram set, the remastered audio completed by longtime Roger Waters / Pink Floyd collaborator and co-producer James Guthrie is chillingly detailed - every cricket chirp and dog bark on this distinctive album has even more sonic intensity and dimension
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 2021, 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 2021 4LP 45 RPM 180-gram vinyl edition of Amused to Death features remastered audio completed by longtime Roger Waters / Pink Floyd collaborator and co-producer, James Guthrie, and has been pressed at RTI in California
The updated cover and gatefold art is by Sean Evans, the creative director of Waters' 2010-2013 "The Wall Live" tour and movie
