===HAL samples=== Waters stated in a ''Rockline'' interview on February 8, 1993, that he had wanted to use dialogue samples from ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' on the album, specifically [[HAL 9000]]'s 'dying' monologue. [[Stanley Kubrick]], the film's director, turned him down on the basis that it would open the door to many other people using the sound sample.<ref>[http://www.rock.co.za/rogerwaters/ Rock.co.za] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120404131546/http://www.rock.co.za/rogerwaters/ |date=4 April 2012 }}</ref> Others think that Kubrick refused because Pink Floyd had not allowed him to use music from ''[[Atom Heart Mother]]'' in his film ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Kubrick FAQ Part 4|url=http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/faq/index4.html|access-date=6 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130524201007/http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/faq/index4.html|archive-date=24 May 2013}}</ref> Waters did use the samples of HAL describing his mind being taken away when performing live β specifically at the beginning of "Perfect Sense, Part I" during his [[In the Flesh (1999-2002 concert tour by Roger Waters)|In the Flesh tour]], after Kubrick's death, and it was finally incorporated into the ''Amused to Death'' album for the 2015 remaster / remix release.
