This one is quite controversial: both because of what Waters has become from a political standpoint and for his re-interpretation of DSOTM.

Yet, I really enjoy this creepy crepuscular downtempo version, with Waters lugubrious talking…

if such a small label can do great recordings, why can’t a major label do that?
