Free Music Review: Atom Heart Mother
Hit: 3 Stars
Atom Heart Mother being Pink Floyd 1970 release is an alright experimental rock album that is almost too experimental for its own good. It starts out with the odd 24 minute Atom Heart Mother that sounds more like a rock gig rather then a track and ends with the 12 minute long Alans Psychadelic Breakfast. I can honestly say that I like it but I am quite confused about this album as it seems a bit unfocused and confounding. The booklet is also a strange one with pictures of cows on the cover and inside the booklet. 3/5.
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 BartlettClassic Rock Music CDs
