◎入列「摇滚名人殿堂」和英国「音乐名人堂」伟大前卫摇滚乐团Pink Floyd灵魂传奇最新大碟

Roger Waters, the creative power and songwriting force behind Pink Floyd, presents Is This The Life We Really Want ?, his first rock al bum in 25 years. The album is produced and mixed by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Beck, U2, "From the Basement"), and includes 12 new Roger Waters musical compositions and studio performances.
Roger Waters' last studio album, 1992's Amused To Death, was a prescient study of popular culture, exploring the power of television in the era of the First Gulf War. This long-awaited follow-up, Is This The Life We Really Want ?, is an unflinching commentary on the modern world and uncertain times, and a natural successor to such classic Pink Floyd albums as Animals and The Wall.
Tracks on Is This The Life We Really Want ? include: "When We Were Young," "Déjà vu," "The Last Refugee," "Picture That," "Broken Bones," "The Life We Really Want," "A Bird In A Gale," "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," "Smell the Roses," "Wait For Her," "Oceans Apart," and "Part of Me Died." The lyrics for Wait for Her were written by Roger Waters and inspired by an English translation by an unknown author of "Lesson from the Kama Sutra (Wait for Her)," by Mahmoud Darwish.
The musicians on Is This The Life We Really Want? are: Roger Waters (vocals, acoustic, bass), Nigel Godrich (arrangement, sound collages, keyboards, guitar), Gus Seyffert (bass, guitar, keyboards), Jonathan Wilson (guitar, keyboards), Joey Waronker (drums), Roger Mannning (keyboards), Lee Pardini (keyboards) and Lucius (vocals) with Jessica Wolfe and Holly Proctor.

1971年10月發行的《Meddle》是平克佛洛伊德樂團的首張概念專輯，專輯製作期間，鍵盤手Richard Wright運用聲波頻率原理組裝，可以發出特殊聲音效果的Leslie Speaker放大器，來製作了一個近似潛水艇的聲納裝置，再利用此裝置所發出的聲波寫出一段旋律，這段旋律隨後在經過其他團員加進不同的樂器的即興彈奏，最終蛻變成《Meddle》專輯中，深獲矚目的23分鐘實驗搖滾大作〈Echoes〉。專輯中也有在歌曲末段融入利物浦足球隊，球迷現場加油團演唱，沿用自音樂劇【旋轉木馬】的隊歌〈You`ll Never Walk Alone〉的現場錄音之慢板搖滾曲〈Fearless〉，更有樂團少見的搖滾情歌小品〈A Pillow of Winds〉。
