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.
