Roger Waters-Amused to Death


Had never heard of this album until I heard 'It's a Miracle' and just had to buy it.
Original authorised copies on Columbia are very rare (Limited Edition Set) and mastered direct to lacquer from all-analogue Master Tapes.

I listened to the album 3-4 times before I realized the barking dogs in the first 5 minutes were actually in the recording and not directly to my right and outside the house. Stunningly wide sound stage at no noticeable loss of sound quality.
Stunning SACD, one of the most impressive on my shelves in all 3 dimensions.  I had a similar experience the dogs barking 10-12' to right of speakers, down the hall and behind the wall in the yard and the radio broadcast similarly impressive to the far left of room and then some!
@halcro  Have you heard the Roger Waters 'In The Flesh Tour' DVD? Simply brilliant.

what is wrong with me
why am I so out of breath?

the bartender says
”excuse me ma’am
but the species has
amused itself to death”.
