![]() ![]() The best CD version I have heard is the 1994 remaster, the original CD (1987) has virtually no treble at the top end and the 2011 remaster is also disappointing. I have loved this album since first hearing it a few years after it was released. Each track is a miniature marvel in itself. There are also 3 songs, one each from Waters, Wright and Gilmour each very different in style and all sung by their respective writers. There is some extreme weirdness towards the end but I think the whole thing works wonderfully. After the grand opening theme with brass there is a meltingly beautiful cello solo with keyboards that sets the high standard for the rest of the piece. It is a brilliant fusion of rock band with brass and choral elements composed/arranged by Ron Geesin. The whole of the 1st side of the original album was the title track 'Atom Heart Mother' a single work with 6 named sections. If this last track had been left off, you would still have had an album release only a minute or so shorter than the average for the time. The track 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' is the weakest track on this album and really is not much more than filler for an otherwise utterly brilliant album. 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. Pink Floyd offers a range of emotion here, from doleful to crazed to humorous (especially the dramatised comments on macrobiotics in the closer). 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". 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. In the grand, colour-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.

Not so lost for words in the end, herein lies the most complete examination, review, and discussion of all.
