The record was first announced via a press release from EMI on 6 Apr 1987 , confirming
piss 's new record album , its details and release date .The military press release mentioned
that the project was conceived to follow a full-out rock opera house , over with a stage show
, movie and springy album , much like water supply 's original visual sense for the
album .Waters also made a video EP for this album featuring the call `` radio set Waves , '' ``
Sunset strip show , '' `` Fish Report , '' `` Four bit '' and `` The Tide Is turning ( After Live Aid )
. ''=== Tour === The Radio K.A.O.S .tour aka K.A.O.S .On the route ran from mid-August 1987
to the end of November of the same class .It was entirely in North America except for the net
two show from Wembley , England .The tour , the prominent of Waters 's life history up to
that dot , featured extravagant staging , prop and video .The entireness of the concert was
presented as a K.A.O.S .radio special , `` K.A.O.S .on the Road '' , and featured record jockey
( disk jockey ) Jim Ladd introducing the songs , conversing with Billy , or simply
complimenting Waters and the band on their performance .The screen used for the spell
displayed video recording of Waters , Ladd , and various other actors playing out aspects of
the narrative , as well as spiritedness and TV illustrating the call .The concert was
'interrupted ' at one point each night by Billy , who played the video to the début pink Floyd
individual `` Matthew Arnold Layne '' , in remembrance of Syd Barrett .Prior to each
appearance , Jim Ladd took vociferation from people in a John Wilkes Booth and these calls
were then answered by Waters .The soul in each booth was usually chosen via a
competition on local radio stations , in keeping with the theme of the concert .The setlist

powerful '' .Although the theme and style of the album were criticized , he deemed it an
advance on its precursor The Pros and Cons of term of enlistment tramp ( 1984 ) .Henry
Martyn Robert Christgau from The Village Voice wrote : `` In which Waters 's wheelchair-
bound edition of the deaf , dumb and subterfuge male child learns to control the existence 's
computers with his cordless headphone , then simulates impending atomic holocaust just to
affright the shit out of the might that represent .I have serious reservations about any
record book that ca n't exist enjoyed unless you sit there reading the inside sleeve , but this
is not without its aural payoff — a coverable Sung dynasty or two and some prissy comping
on shakuhachi , as well as the deep applied science that made Floyd illustrious .As
pretentious goes , not dazed . ''waters has since expressed disfavor for the album and the
effort of creating it .`` Between Ian Ritchie and myself , we really fucked that phonograph
record up , '' he remarked .`` We tried too heavy to defecate it sound forward-looking .Also ,
the part where Billy pretends that he 's just started the one-third World state of war I now
find faintly embarrassing .And I dislike the patronage song on 'The tide Is Turning ' . ''In
addition to being dissatisfied with the production , Waters regretted trimming the album
from a double to a single one , thus losing practically of the construct .In a retrospective
review , Mike DeGagne of AllMusic gave the record album three-and-a-half ace , stating that ,
unlike some of H2O 's other works , it conveys the music Sir Thomas More than the story ,
but `` while both The Pros and Cons of snag Hiking and Amused to Death convey his talented
consumption of construct , vision , and lyric mastery , this album seems to be aught more
than a fictitious tale with a blatantly apparent message '' .== Track list == Columbia Records
