Artwork from Roger Waters‘ “Amused to Death” was projected onto the Houses of Parliament last night, on the eve of the album’s re-issue.

Listen for your chance to win a CD copy of the 2015 edition of “Amused to Death” on an upcoming “Floydian Slip.” And listen for “Roger Waters Amused to Death,” a syndicated radio special from Joyride Media hosted by Floydian Slip’s Craig Bailey, airing on select stations now.
This is a great album, although there are moments throughout it I can’t help but cringe at Waters’ grandfatherly vocal drowl.
