Roger Waters’ Amused to Death examines an entertainment-obsessed society on this hybrid multichannel SACD from Analogue Productions. The 2015 SACD edition features a 5.1 surround remix by longtime Roger Waters and Pink Floyd collaborator James Guthrie, with artwork updated by Sean Evans.
The album explores how screen-based distractions can push real-world dilemmas and injustices out of view. Its themes extend beyond television to the constant distractions of laptops, tablets and smartphones, giving its social commentary an enduring resonance.
Set aside time for the complete 14-track sequence, from “The Ballad of Bill Hubbard” through “Watching TV,” “It’s a Miracle” and the closing title track. Guthrie’s surround remix offers a multichannel perspective on the album for listeners with a compatible playback system.
