“Roger Waters The Wall” film showing this fall

Posted April 18, 2015 by Floydian Slip

Picturehouse Entertainment and Fathom Events have acquired international and U.S. rights, respectively, to the feature-length film “Roger Waters The Wall.”

Written and directed by Roger Waters and Sean Evans, the film will show worldwide at 7:30 p.m. local time Tuesday, Sept. 29.

It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year. A concert film of Waters’ tour of the classic Pink Floyd album “The Wall,” it’s also a road movie of Waters’ reckoning with the past and an anti-war film.

“We were a big family on the road, 189 of us, give or take the odd Snoozy Walrus. We were happy by and large and I am really happy to welcome everyone at Fathom and Picturehouse aboard, I know, I know, mixing metaphors,” Waters says in a somewhat rambling statement.

“Where was I? Oh yeah, with your help, this coming 29th September will be the perfect way to remember, not just our loved ones, but the other guys loved ones, fallen, living, and as yet unborn,” he adds.

More information and tickets will be available this summer at www.rogerwatersthewall.com.

Roger Waters’ Amused to Death remastered

Posted April 15, 2015 by Floydian Slip

Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings will issue a remastered edition of Roger Waters‘ 1992 album “Amused to Death” on July 24.

The reissue will feature a new 5.1 Surround Sound remix of the album on high-definition Blu-ray audio and a new remastered stereo mix by longtime Pink Floyd collaborator James Guthrie.

The cover and gatefold art has been updated by Sean Evans, creative director of Waters’ 2010-2013 “The Wall Live” tour and film.

“I’m remembering the record from [over] 20 years ago, that most of what I had to say then sadly still pertains today and is maybe even more relevant to our predicament as people in 2015 even than it was in 1992,” says Waters.

Guthrie premiered his Surround Sound mix at the Pink Floyd academic conference held at Princeton in April 2014.

The reissue will be available in six formats: CD; CD/Blu-ray; SACD; hi-res digital download; double-LP 200 gram vinyl, pressed at Quality Record Pressings; and a limited edition, vinyl, numbered double-LP picture disc.

The album’s available for pre-order at rogerwaters.com, which has a number of music/merchandise bundles available.
