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 György 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

A Fan.......2007-05-12

Found it strange at first, then fell in love when I keep on listening.

Famous more for the cover than the music.......2007-03-24

The cover has been listed on a lot of "favorite" lists.

They had also done a PBS concert following the release of this album which you may be able to find online that's worth checking out.

The title track isn't "Echoes" but is better than some of the studio side of "Ummagumma". "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" is an exercise in ambient sound.

2 songs from this era, "Embryo" and "Biding My Time" weren't included but there's enough room on the CD for it to go on.

I think that if you're into groups like Can, you can hear what may have influenced "Tago Mago", and it is definitely a transition album for Pink Floyd that without this, "Meddle" and "Obscured by Clouds" wouldn't have been made, which in turn would help develop "Dark Side of the Moon".

An Obscure, Yet Classic Floyd Album.......2007-03-21

Contrary to popular belief amongst all of those classic rock fans who've been educated by their local classic rock station, Pink Floyd existed before the release of their 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon." A band that had made a huge transition from the psychedelic tendencies of the brilliant, yet drug addicted Syd Barrett, much of the early years of Pink Floyd were spent bumbling around in the dark, trying to find the sound that would put them on the right track.

I, for one, respect the hell out of these years for the Floyd. They were rewarded for their persistence and experimental nature which helped create their sound. Atom Heart Mother is one particular case of this happening.

This album is highly degraded by the band themselves nowadays... David Gilmour has stated on a couple of occasions his disgust for this record, and other members of the band have as well. Drummer Nick Mason's criticism of the album is much more restrained than the others, as he has noted that many of the elements, such as the long instrumentations and styles later found in DSoTM and Wish You Were Here, were first started with this album.

The name of the album came from a headline in a British newspaper which told of a news story about a pregnant woman who had recieved an atomic pacemaker. The cover of the album, a cow in the English countryside, was a specific request from the band to designer Storm Thorgerson to provide them something that would deflect from the overall theme of the album, which would allow them to be more creative with their music. Thorgerson went for a drive, and shot the first mundane thing he saw, a cow standing in a pasture.

Here is the list of tracks:

1. Atom Heart Mother Suite (23:44) (Waters, Gilmour, Wright, Mason, Geesin)
2. If (4:31) (Waters)
3. Summer '68 (5:29) (Wright)
4. Fat Old Sun (5:24) (Gilmour)
5. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast (13:00) (Waters, Gilmour, Wright, Mason)

The opening track, on the vinyl version of this album, took up all of the first side. A very experimental and long track, composer Ron Geesin, an aquaintence of Roger Waters, was brought in with a full orchestra backdrop to add to the song. The track is somewhat dragging, definately sprawling, and a little pretentious, but it's not hard to recognize the talent in the piece. Gilmour's guitar was solid throughout the composition, and while not really leading to any place in particular, the Suite definately keeps you engaged throughout, and is an impressive, if not somewhat confusing track.

The middle tracks are individual songwriting contributions from the band. Waters' "If" is a folky, somewhat mocking ballad. Wright's "Summer '68" seems to me to be a mix of The Kinks and The Beatles, taking elements of both and rolling it into one. Of the solo compositions in the album, I enjoyed this one the most, as well as the fact that it's probably the strongest of the three in it's presentation. Gilmour's "Fat Old Sun" is a nostalgic song of the days of youth. He'd hit this theme later on as well, at the end of the Floyd's run with the song "High Hopes" from The Division Bell. The songwriting of Fat Old Sun is very personal, but weak in comparison with later Floyd compositions. The end guitar solo is quite good, existing also a sign of things to come.

The final track "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" continues where Atom Heart Mother Suite leaves off, throwing caution to conventional music. The song, complete with background noises of Pink Floyd roadie Alan Stiles preparing and eating his breakfast, is broken into three musical parts. The music itself is quite good, but a tad underwhelming. The last part of the song, titled "Morning Glory" is the strongest part of the song, and brings the album to a strong close.

Overall, one cannot fully understand a musical act until they expose themselves to the humble beginnings. Pink Floyd rose meteorically to their stardom... they once found themselves trying new things, and creating a formula for success. It's important, especially in the Floyd's case, not to ignore the importance of the first few albums.

Atom Heart Mother maybe chided as the worst Pink Floyd album by a few. But it's not. It's not their best either. It's one of my favorite, and one of their most important albums, as it really got the ball rolling in their evolution from psychedelic to progressive themes of rock.

A Good Pre- Dark side Listen.......2007-03-18

Ever since I was 6 or so (35 yrs ago) I have been just mesmerised, musically in love.....with Pink Floyd. I find "Atom Heart Mother" definitive of the modern Floyd sound as much as any in the early era. I like the well composed yet seemingly randomised sequences on the long side( long tune on CD) and the diversity of musical forms shown within. I see it as a harbinger of the future for them as it has some very good songs thatsadly, not many know. I got it in 1976 on album and later , as all things, digital in the eighties. i have learned on piano and guitar most of it, as is fun to play , not hard , yet entertaining.

Itis a must for the budding PF fan. Waters inluences give us a hint of textures he can only provide and Gilmore seems to be at ease with his new surroundings .....Buy it , you wont regret it, man.

Atom Heart Mother is both typical and atypical Floyd..........2007-03-14

I think the Wikipedia page on Atom Heart Mother says all that needs to be said about this fine classic Floyd album. Either you like it or you don't. I'd go as far as to say that if you really like Pink Floyd, I mean *REALLY* like Pink Floyd, then you'll probably enjoy this album. If all you know of Floyd is Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, you will probably find this experimental album a bit strange and maybe even painful to hear.

Floyd's first album of the 1970s gets MFSL treatment.......2006-03-17

Pink Floyd's fifth album Atom Heart Mother was released in October of 1970.
Atom Heart Mother was one of the band's more daring to date and was one their best in their so-called transitional period. I remember first getting this on cassette tape from my dad in August of 1987 and was just in awe on how great this album was and still is today(I have the remastered CD now).
Pink Floyd's history is really divided in five parts. First was the Syd Barrett era (1966-68), next was the transitional era(1968-70), then it was the classic Floyd era(1971-75), followed by the Waters era(1976-83) and lastly the post-Waters era(1987-today).
Atom Heart Mother was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and was produced by Pink Floyd and engineered by Peter Bown and Alan Parsons.
The album begins with the 23 and a half minute title cut which took up the whole of the first side of the original album and combined classical with rock with funk with avant-garde and was split into six parts(Father's Shout(with low E chord going into the track), Breast Milky(with the cello playing alongside Roger Waters' bass and Rick Wright's organ before giving away to some great overdubbed guitar work from David Gilmour and stellar drumming by Nick Mason), Mother Fore(which introduces us to the John Aldiss Choir), Funky Dung(my favorite section of the piece which combined David's guitar soloing with the choir doing some off-the-wall chants and worked excellent), Mind Your Throats Please(included some mellotron from Rick and tape effects which predates Dark Side) and the piece concludes with Remergence which was a summary of all of the parts of the album). The piece was written by all four Floyd members and Ron Geesin whom wrote the choral and orchestral parts on the track and worked with Roger on his solo debut Music From the Body.
The second half of the album/CD contained three shorter tracks starting with Waters' ballad If which is a great song and he would subsequently play it live on his Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and Radio KAOS tours. Next is Wright's Summer 68 and is one of his best numbers. We then have the atmospheric Gilmour masterpiece Fat Old Sun which was his first song he penned lyrics for by himself and is a beautiful song. The song would be resurrected for David Gilmour's unplugged concerts in London in 2001 and 2002 which is documented on his David Gilmour in Concert DVD. The album concludes with the 13 minute instrumental Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast which is a homage to Floyd's then roadie Alan Stiles and a collage of music and sound effects like water dripping, eating food, cooking and mumbling(eggs, bacon, marmalade) all recorded in Nick Mason's kitchen. The song is split in three parts(Rise and Shine(which combined piano, hi-hat, guitar and organ), Sunny Side Up(which is all acoustic guitar and sounds like an early version of A Pillow of Winds which would appear on the band's next disc Meddle) and Morning Glory(which has the intro to Rise and Shine that gives way into a jam and concludes with the water dripping).
Atom Heart Mother was a sign of great things to come for the band and was the band's second disc to crack the American Top 100 peaking at a modest #55 and eventually went Gold in later years.
This was another stepping stone to the band's eventual world domination despite the fact that most of the band despise this album.
This version of the remaster was released one year before Capitol issued their remaster. What is noteworthy is that at the end of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast has drips that continue on and on like the original UK vinyl and keeps going on and on. Unfortunately this version proved obsolete once MFSL folded and when Capitol re-released the album in 1995.
Highly recommended!

Fascinating.......2005-09-22

I don't have anything against long compositions and/or extended solos. Provided, that is, that you actually have something to say. But listening to Atom Heart Mother is like listening to somebody who takes an hour to explain to you that 1+1=2. Fascinating, indeed.

Great early Floyd classic gets the royal gold treatment!.......2003-12-30

This MFSL gold CD of this classic Pink Floyd album is spectacular!!! This is the best this album has ever sounded!!! A treat from start to finish!!! This early album from Floyd proves they had a lot more to offer than just "Dark Side Of The Moon!!! A very underrated album it's cool to hear the group use horns and choirs!!!Truly remarkable!!! A+

Ultimate psychedelic fantasy.......1999-06-30

While many consider Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall as the pinnacle of the Pink Floyd enigma, Atom Heart Mother was the album that, while retaining the wash of Sixties psychedelia, began to experiment with themes and concepts. The title track, intended originally as the theme for a western, is a massive undertaking of production and arrangement. Though it sounds sloppy by today's standards, for 1970 it was far ahead of its time. It moves through the various sections seamlessly, creating a mood of temporal dislocation. The cello parts are particularly fascinating-this is the only piece of music that has ever made me cry, it was just too beautiful to stand. Images of earthen pleasures and astral journeys to where stars have no names, this song represents an extraordinary talent for leaving the right spaces between the notes. "If", the second track, offers an almost pure and innocent look at the fear of oncoming madness ( a fear which would be later realized). The song is very laid back and touching. "Summer `68" is somewhat cheesy at times, though the trumpet sections are full of repentant anguish at succumbing to the pleasures of flesh (a groupie). Very bouncy, but still manages to be dark and Floydian. "Fat Old Sun" is my favorite of this album. Though badly recorded and mixed, the images of freedom in childhood, blissful endless summer where the twilight is eternal is about as mellow as you get. The guitar solo at the end is killer (listen to the bass line-its one of Water's best). "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" is kind of silly, though the voice of Alan making breakfast on morning glory seeds is just perfect. The song is somewhat rushed, but the last segment, Morning Glory, is fantastic. Can't even describe the feeling it gives me. Although flawed at times, Atom Heart Mother still stands as one of the most innovative albums ever written. The ultimate psychedelic fantasy.

Love the psychedelic stuff!.......1999-06-18

Great psychedelic, DIY rock symphonies from the Floyd, before the band got huge. UMMAGUMMA's just as great, too. This experimental stuff is great, and other bands like Can, Faust, Magma, Soft Machine, are worth checkin' out too.

In 2001, Atom Heart Mother was re-released by Toshiba-EMI in Japan in a miniature record sleeve. That means you get all the artwork which came with the original record and the remastering was by Doug Sax done in 1994 and sounds better than the original CD issued by Capitol in 1987 by a longshot.
Highly recommended!

what's an atom heart, and why care about its mother?.......2004-12-17

Okay, this is next to impossible to critique, but let me say that if you like strange, you'll like this. Above all else, this is strange.

On its original 1970 recording, the 23+ minute 'Atom Heart Mother' suite squeezed out every groove available on the virgin vinyl. Why is anyone's guess. You could easily cut out a minute here or a minute there and not impact the overall effect an iota. I'm not entirely sure what value the patchwork of orchestrations, rock and roll flourishes, or sound effects have. I suppose this could be inspirational background music for an artist in their studio, or a refreshing change of pace for a road warrior who has tired of traditional musical formats on their endless travels. I'm not saying this isn't creative or intriguing or entertaining... it's just so wierd (though not as weird as The Beatle's 'Revolution #9") that I'm not sure what to do with it. Ditto for 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast', 'structured' around the random conversations, clatterings, and sizzling present in a breakfast scene. Artistically it's the equivilent of Jerry Seinfeld's 'show about nothing', but without the laughs.

The disc does feature three songs that are more traditional in their organization. I would swear however that Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Richard Wright sat down and decided they would all write one laid-back ballad for the disc. These three tunes, 'If', 'Fat Old Sun', and 'Summer'68' are all lovely, nuanced compositions, though none stand out like 'Breathe' from 'Dark Side of the Moon', or 'Pillow of Winds' from 'Meddle'. Only Gilmour's 'Fat Old Sun' breaks out for some inspired psychedelic guitar work, one of Floyd's trademarks. They're nice enough sounding, with somewhat mysterious lyrics.

The weirdness continues with the photography featured in the inserts and on the disc itself, heavy on cows and the material culture of cow life. We have a close up of a snout and an udderly hooked-up mechanical milking device. These photographs would seem to accompany some of the song titles, such as 'Breast Milky', and the predictable shovel-shot for 'Funky Dung'. Whoever came up with all this, and what did they expect listeners to do with it? I suppose the mystery is somewhat (but only somewhat) entertaining in itself.

I am convinced there will never be another 'Atom Heart Mother'. I just don't know if that's good or bad.
