Being Out of Range

Mag the burden of "the dark side of the moon" or "Wish you were here" have been lying on the shoulders of the virtuoso Roger Waters, but we also know that this eccentric floats on water. "Amused to Death" is a wonderful concept album from the early 90s, with musical, vocal subtlety with Waters and accompaniment and lyrically unsentimental directness, socially-critical touch this time and a sound design that connects to Pink Floyd. As Neil Postman has 10 years previously posted his work on the social amusement, Waters is the same theme in the form of rock ballads go. Mag access at first listen hard, expires after the second passage of the Floyd and Waters experts in addiction and discovers in her the real treasures of this music, the change of tempo and sound origin as they awaited a must when Pink Floyd, of quickness and slowness in the musical development, of time, space and dream. Forcing mixing multiple layers of sonic style to listeners whose unwanted events is seemingly unstoppable in progress in the complexity of a world.
And so the music is almost secondary in this CD. Waters is a historian, a prosecutor, a peace movement. CNN news will be music an indictment of American imperialism in Iraq, Vietnam and even China learns the musical indictment, not to use the "Tiananmen Square" with measures against his name. It remains an illusion, the Earth passes in the fog and the arbitrariness of the general amusement. Neither society nor religion come to an agreement in the objectives of common sense with. What remains when the mind goes, and the fun is, nothing except hope for a miracle: "It's a Mircale". But this miracle is: "They've got Pepsi in the Andes / Mcdonalds in Tibet" - "We drove our racing cars / We ate our last few jars of caviar / And somewhere out there in the stars / A keen-eyed look- out / Spied A Flickering Light / Our Last Hurrah / Our last hurray; - "Amused to Death" and end up risking extraterrestrials one last look at a military ground and comment "This species has amused itself to death, no tears to cry, No feelings left: It has amused itself to death ".

Great album.
