1970 "Atom Heart Mother Pink Floyd" STICKER included!
HARD TO FIND 1970 very first rare and collectible issue before the company re-designed the gatefold ~~ the front cover has no mention of "Pink Floyd" or the albums title -- unlike most copies... Harder to find than you think ~ (see details after song listings)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
One of the highly underrated Pink Floyd album's and one of the Floyd's more experimental albums ~~ a fact which is emphasized by the opening and closing tracks. The opener is the title track "Atom Heart Mother", a 23 minute spacey epic. The song features great orchestration, sound effects aplenty, and most importantly, some outstanding keyboard work from Rick Wright. The album's three middle songs are more conventional. "If" is a Roger Waters love song, and is one of those rare songs of his showing off his sentimental side. "Summer '68" is a Rick Wright song, and is one of his best vocal efforts ever. It also features some great keys and an incredible chorus. The song is truly a classic, and the best of the album. Then there's David Gilmour's "Fat Old Sun". This is a gentle, uplifting spacey guitar piece with a great guitar solo, and has the kind of life that "If" was lacking. The album then closes with the experimental "Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast". The song is composed of a recording of one of the band's roadies cooking breakfast, and in between, three sections of music. The first is a floating Rick Wright keyboard solo, the second is David Gilmour delivering a starkly beautiful guitar performance, and the third is an outstanding full band jam, finishing the album off perfectly. Although not one of Pink Floyd's more accessible albums, Atom Heart Mother is a brilliant one, and should be in the collection of any serious prog fan.
