Free Music Notes for Atom Heart Mother

Free Music Review: underrated album
Hit: 5 Stars

This has been one of my favorite Floyd albums for many years.The title track is truly bizzare,smooth,funky,weird,and totally unlike anything else Floyd has done before or since.There are three songs written individually by the members.If,Summer68 and Fat Old Sun.These three songs sound more traditional with Gilmour's Fat Old Sun being the best.The album ends with an interesting but forgetable instrumental.This album is all about the title track for me and the rest is just an added bonus.

Atom Heart Mother Poster

In the grand, color-bending tradition of psychedelic experimentalism, Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother takes as its title an inscrutable phrase and under the title launches a similarly inscrutable--or at least dense--musical concatenation. The title suite features French-horn-led brass melodies riffed on by David Gilmour's guitar and the rhythm section, all of which veers into choral passages that recall Gy?rgy Ligeti's vocal works and then almost atonal pulses of keyboards that mask reams of audio snippets swirling underneath. And then there's some moody folk from Roger Waters, an almost Kinks-ish rambler from Richard Wright, then more moody folk (this time from Gilmour) on "Fat Old Sun," and, to close, the spirited melodic runaround of "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast." There's a range of emotion here, from doleful to crazed to humorous (especially the dramatized comments on macrobiotics in the closer). Atom Heart Mother was a spotlight ahead for Pink Floyd, showing the extensions of form the band would engage in so successfully on Dark Side of the Moon just a few short years later. --Andrew Bartlett
