Whilst we're sure you don't need reminding, the long awaited and highly anticipated 2015 editions of Roger Waters' 1992 album, Amused To Death, which come in a variety of editions, all boasting new artwork and packaging, will be finally with us on Friday (July 24th). As part of our coverage of this release, we are very pleased to let you know that, on that day, we will be posting an interview with a key person behind this release - and will also be offering a very rare and collectable prize as well!

The various iterations of the album are sure to be popular. Since news broke about James Guthrie's work on the album, demand to hear the surround version of ATD has been extremely high - with just one public airing at the Princeston university conference covered elsewhere on our site.

As a reminder, the 2015 editions of Amused to Death will be available in a variety of formats, as seen below.

The CD + Blu-ray edition, and the SACD edition, of Amused To Death both features the new 5.1 surround remix of the album in high definition. The artwork and packaging has been updated for 2015 by Sean Evans, the creative director of Waters' 2010-2013 The Wall Live tour and movie. The standard CD edition, as well as the vinyl editions, feature the newly remastered stereo mix of the album.

These are bound to be popular releases, and Amazon are taking orders through the following direct links:

Just a few weeks ago, right before Brit Floyd wrapped up the first leg of their current North American tour, they were joined live, on stage by a very special guest at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre: saxophonist and rhythm guitarist Scott Page.

Brit Floyd musical director Damian Darlington tells Brain Damage that Page "played Money and Us and Them" with them.

Page originally joined Pink Floyd during the recording of A Momentary Lapse of Reason and toured extensively with the band in promotion of that album. He contributed saxophone and guitar parts to the A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour and his live work with the band is documented in the Delicate Sound of Thunder album and video.

Page continued collaborating with the likes of Bob Ezrin, David Gilmour, and Storm Thorgerson after his tenure in Pink Floyd: although he shifted his focus toward a number of successful business ventures at the conclusion of the A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, he continued working with a wide array of individuals from the Pink Floyd camp in that new context. He has also continued recording and performing over the years despite his business work, with artists as diverse as Gorky Park, David Lee Roth, and Jane's Addiction. Page is currently CEO, President, and co-founder of Ignited Network, "a start up music accelerator based in Los Angeles."

Following on from yesterday's news of the release of David Gilmour's upcoming album, Rattle That Lock, due on Friday, September 18th, 2015, pre-order links for the various physical versions of the album are now available.
