Atom Heart Mother Suite (Mason, Gilmour, Waters, Wright, Gessin) 23:51 a. Father's Shout b. Breast Milky c. Mother Fore d. Funky Dung e. Mind Your Throats, Please f. Remergence (Instrumental)
True. You had a group of students, wacked on LSD . Some of there best stuff came from this. Yes only the true fan ,can really appreciate the master peice this musicianmastership this really is. Roger was bent on Syd being xbetter. But all in all sid barret was pink floyd
I’m currently on a journey to listen to every Pink Floyd Album and I’ve finally reached this album. This song is a masterpiece, and that final 2 minutes makes this song all worth it. Wish me luck on this Pink Floyd journey. See you all on the other side!
I suspect people who like this are a special breed of Floyd fan. Those who prefer the long stuff with limited vocals over the "popular" stuff that got played on the radio. Echoes, and Dogs are a couple others that fit that category., Hello brothers.
Waters and Gilmour did not think much of this album afterwards. I had it for my 14th birthday and now I'm 59 and still listening to it now and then. Just a brilliant piece of work.
As a just turned 60 yo, I love that! What are your most favourite songs, and albums? Have you had chance to see any great tribute bands, or even Pink Floyd members' tours?

Moo.... Mo.. mooooo.... Moo...
I thought this album was gonna be one of those boring albums a popular band made before their biggest hits. I was so happy to be wrong and Atom Heart Mother is one of my favorite albums ever
In a real sense, the only way they ever got big hits was by dialing back the sheer awesome inventiveness they had displayed on records like this one. I mean, imo, ofc.
This song is the convergence point between psychedelic rock, baroque rock, krautrock, and progressive rock. It's a highly underrated musical masterpiece that asks "why not?" to all the voices in the world that ask "why?" to every musician that makes something outside of what most people expect.
I’m 68 and loved Pink Floyd in the 1970s. Hammered their LPs on the record player so lots of crackles. Had our fourth child at 47 and have just discovered that he loves Pink Floyd too. At 21, he’s wearing the DSOTM tshirt and he can’t believe that I own their LPs. Next March 2023, there will be a 50th anniversary concert here in Australia with DSOTM, Atom Heart Mother Suite and Echoes too. Full orchestra, choir, brass section, familiar rock singers. Guessing that Vanessa Amorosi will do the Great Gig In The Sky because she has an incredible vocal range. Can’t wait! Taking our youngest. 😊
Long story: I remember knowing my entire life that Pink Floyd were this legendary band but never listened to them even though I already was a fan of bands like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple back then when I was young. Then, five years ago, my older brother introduced me to The Great Gig in the Sky and I immediately fell in love with it. Now hyped because of it, I tried to listen to the rest of Pink Floyd but, at the beginning, I even didn't quite like masterpieces like The Dark Side of the Moon, so I forced myself to listen through their Dark Side of the Moon-later discography until one day they became an acquired taste, and Iittle by little I started to become more and more obsessed with them until they truly became my all time favorite band. I only ever listened from Meddle to their later albums and was disappointed that I considered myself a big fan but never listened to their early psychedelic albums so I ventured myself to listen to them, but I must admit that, until this date, I'm not a fan of those. Just a couple of days ago I ventured myself again to listen to those early albums (without success, again), and even though I know I should have already heard this song in my past expeditions through their early years, only now I'm learning to value it. It's a masterpiece. I can't believe I didn't like this song earlier, but it's such a joy right now to know that, after years of thinking that I already heard all Pink Floyd's best masterpieces, I'm once again discovering a new masterpiece, and the joy of having it stuck in my head, playing it every 23:42 minutes, and trying to create a short movie out of it in my mind every time I hear the song. Cheers to every fan out there and hope someone feel related to this acquired-taste story.
Et moi, 68 ans. Pareil, j’ai écouté cet album tant de fois. C’était l’époque bénie des pantalons pattes d’éph, des Clarks. Toute mon adolescence merveilleuse. Et je m’y replonge souvent grâce à Plnk Floyd!
This was my mother's favorite song of the band. My father wanted this song to be played at her funeral: they listened to it together when they young on the Avigliana lake. We miss you mom, and we love you!
It amazes me David Gilmour calls this "rubbish" and "dreadful" ... "a real down point" and "scraping the barrel" - this music transports me. I was 14 when my super-cool older brother brought this album home. I waited for him to go out somewhere, then brought it into my room to listen on my stereo. I had never heard anything like this. I wasn't a fan of instrumentals, but this was indefinably wonderful. It produces the same effect in me today as it did the first time: peace and calm and wonder. My brother came home when I was in a trance, listening to this a second time. He gave me a withering frown, and told me, "Get your own copy." So I did. I saved my babysitting money, and went to the record store for the album, and played this so many times that the crackles from wearing out the vinyl became a part of the song. When I listen to this, my heartbeat slows; the peace and wonder at its beauty relaxes me and gives me joy.
+Henry Stanley we are talking about the guys who made "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict". I don't think they are worried about being pretentious.
Weeaboocrusher That piece "Several Species" were made all by Waters himself. Besides, hiring an actual frigging orchestra must've been difficult and frustrating.
Pareil pour moi . J’ai l’intense souvenir de la première écoute . J’avais à peine 18 ans , je roulais une R6 . Le son était énorme , avec cet album , la perception del’art pris toute son importance
autour de moi tout le monde me semble étranger mais quand je lis les commentaires, je me rend compte que nous sommes si proches et ressentont la même chose
Jean’s patte d’éléphant, Clarks et simca1100, pour moi! Une époque bénie, sans chômage, ou si peu, sans Covid, sans pollution, sans le sida…. Qu’en reste t’il? Pink Floyd for ever!
I know David Gilmour hates this album, but his playing on this song...the slide guitar and especially the solo at 10:46...is just sublime. Just a great, great song.
That´s typical.. Somehow musicians are obliged to " hate" some of their fan favorite albums... and they should praise to max. what their fans tend to dislike :)
The combination of these fantastic musicions makes an extraordinary work for humanity . Each one has his personal talent that complement each other. David Gilmor speaks with his guitar , instead of lyrics. They mix a kind of social political consciousness with art . It is the best way to educate and use this tool as an vehicle to awake society. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Stanley Kubrick asked the Floyd to use this song when he was making a "Clockwork Orange ". He also wanted the rights to use the song any way he wished. Roger Waters adamantly refused.
J'avais 14 ans quand j'écoutais Pink Floyd. Je referme le cercle de la vie car à 60 ans je redécouvre avec autant d'émerveillement ce groupe qui me fait toujours rêver comme à mon adolescence , c'est toujours aussi magnifique et grandiose. Mon Dieu que c'est beau!!!!
+TheWildHealer So, what did you think? It was an odd first listen for me, but it's one of my favorite PF tracks now.Use headphones or good speakers, *not* laptop speakers...
@@Terminus_El_Camino Of course, if you play through laptop speakers you ain't a fan of music. I liked it and it will certainly grow on me, this was the only song from this album I haven't heard before. Really like some of the guitar work going on here. Always thought this album was super odd, maybe because of the unconventional album art work, but i'm starting to appreciate it more. Echoes is my favorite though.
some of the albums i'am listening to now , have transported me back in time to my youth when i listened to them on LSD , now some 40 odd years later , it's like hearing them all afresh ! :)
I love the title atom heart mother because it describes the centre of everything and nature as in mother nature. The core of everything at once ... Which describes this music quite well
First time I heard this song I was on a buttload of mushrooms. This song blew my mind and took me to emotional places I didn’t think was possible. Some of the best of pinkfloyd right here
That part where every single instrument starts playing different sections of the song all at different tempos fucked me up. Especially cause i recognised most of them from earlier in the song.
Blossom the cow, who produced the smallpox vaccine and for whom the word "vaccination" is named after is the most worth cow for this title. Her udders ultimately saved billions of lives. But after Blossom, this cow is up there on the cow-parthenon.
@@madeleinesuzette I'll happily give this cow, who sadly seems to lack a name, the accolade as the most recognisable cow in history. I only ever got to see a picture of Blossom at Dr Jenner's house in Gloucestershire, her image is not well-known. Blossom is more important, but the Pink Floyd cow is far more recognisable.
Not underrated at all, nothing from Pink Floyd would fall under the category of underrated, I'd call acts such as Egg, Hatfield and The North, Bazmati Vice, and Farflung underrated. Pink Floyd, and every album from them have over millions of listens and people praising their music, that ain't underrated at all!
This video literally has 5.6M views, that's on RU-vid, let alone Spotify and other streaming services. This album peaked at 1 in the UK and 55 in the US, charting isn't being underrated, especially considering that their listening base has only really increased since the era of online streaming. If you want actually underrated acts, look into the Canterbury Scene and more modern prog acts; being highly listened to doesn't mean something is bad, but it's not underrated by any means. Pink Floyd literally has three of the top 20 best selling albums of all time, their other stuff is bound to be found out over time.
@@fatheroftwo852 No, it is underrated because compared to other Pink Floyd albums this is barely talked about and Pink Floyd overall us underrated in comparison to pop artists and other overrated rock groups…
@@srairirochd3107 what's funny is the band did not like it....but us fans did that is what counts. I do a stand up routine and when I know my audience is happy I am too....Pink Floyd should join us.😬
I'm listening to this again and I can't get over how good it is. I've listened to this countless number of times. It's my favorite. I love this piece of music.
I remember playing this for my stodgy music teacher of a grandfather; he sat for a good 5-10 minutes, eyes squeezed shut, and I mean absolutely forced close, listening to this, hunched over in the dining room chair. Intent on hearing everything he could. At the end, he stood up, shook my hand. Changed, somehow. Requiescat in Pace, Donald Toms.
I am currently listening to this masterpiece for the first time in my life and let me tell you, i feel like my great adventure with Pink Floyd is just about to begin.
I've always been blown away with not only the pure creativity that Pink Floyd eminates, but the overall production value of each album. Blows me away every time.

This song is THE pink floyd masterpiece You know, tied with: Echoes Dogs Us and them Time Brain damage Great gig in the sky Wish you were here Shining on your crazy diamond(I-IX) Confortably numb Emily play Arnold Layne Hey you Another brick in the wall (I-III) Goodbye blue skies High hopes, and Lost for woods
Gimour has a rather bad habit of being self-deprecating to the point of putting his own music down. I admire his humility but one can take that sort of thing a bit too far when dealing with fans. Best thing would be to just smile and say thanks, take the compliment, dude, you're a guitar god in a band that makes amazing music.
I've been a floyd fan for over 20 years and I'm ashamed to admit that I've just discovered this album. I find that the older I get the more I listen to the Floyd's older stuff. Obscured by cloud's for example. Childhoods end is wonderful
... è un album particolare e unico il vero compositore e stato Ron Geesin il 5° membro dei Floyd a quei tempi è stato lui ad imbastirlo con i fiati e le parti orchestrali più alcune tracce di Gilmour e Waters
Lieber Achim, ich sitze gerade vor dem Tablet, nehme diese Musik voll in mich auf, bin wieder in meinen Jugendtagen und weine genüsslich vor mich hin. Welch unbeschreibbar emotional berührende Musik! Ich teile Deine Berührung!
secondo me, il problema di tanta musica di adesso sono gli eccessivi paletti che vengono messi da tutti. era diverso, quando ognuno faceva che cavolo voleva e poi si vedevano i risultati una volta finito il lavoro :)
dont even need a bowl to do that. song is psychadellic enough. just roll back, close your eyes, put on some surround sound headphones, and let your mind run wild
Miraculously, this video played all the way through with NO commerical interruptions! I just read in Wikipedia that the title came from a newspaper story about a pregnant women who had been fitted with a pacemaker. The headline was "Atom Heart Mother Named".
My kid cried when she heard it for the first time, too! She was 5 months old. I switched the music to something else immediately. I guess the piece has a menacing tone. She's 38 now--has been into all sorts of awesome music most of her life--she just wasn't crazy about this piece when she first heard it.
Negli anni 70' nel lunghi inverni, le domeniche le passavo con un mio amico Dario, appassionato di Pink Floyd e fu così che incominciai ad apprezzarli e ancora li ascolto quasi ogni giorno.
I've listened to this album, off and on, for over 50 years and still find it a good album. I just heard recently that some Pink Floyd members said the title song on this album was crap, but it doesn't diminish my enjoyment of this song.
Hard to believe they all hated this song years later. This Opus floored me the 1st time I listened to it. And still does, my God a man gets lost in layered music like this, good thing I got my compass
Such an amazing song. Rick Wright really knows how to scare the Pink Floyd audience with his haunting organ and keyboard effects. David Gilmour just knocks my socks off with his killer solos. Meanwhile, Roger’s bass plays nicely to go with the song and Nick Mason knows how to use his drums to keep the audience going. Absolutely amazing.
I’m listening to the full Pink Floyd again from start to finish. Today was the day for Atom Heart Mother. It’s a wonderful piece of music. It takes you for a journey you don’t want to end. While the band doesn’t look at it fondly, and perhaps not a top 7 album, it’s still wonderful.
I clicked on this song and my Immediate reaction was “oh shit it’s 23 minutes long... let’s do it.” 1 year update: I have embarked on a pilgrimage to get the complete Pink Floyd discography on vinyl. I picked this up for $26, an absolute steal. EDIT 2: 4 more albums and I’ll have every single release they’ve ever put out on vinyl.
It's amazing that any song longer than 10min from these old groups are almost all incredible. Now, whenever I see a song length of 10+ by any band from this era, I listen.
@@seamusforever7081 I love that Genesis Foxtrot album. Right now, though that will change by tomorrow, my favorite old long song is Lady Fantasy by Camel. There are about 327 favorite songs if you know what I mean. Peace!
.... Relax, yoga, energy, heart, power, fantasy, My first LP. I was 8 old. My uncle LP, I choose this one with cow. Listened to all afternoon. Hypnotized. .. (1978) I didn't know pink Floyd. . I'm 48 old, now. I'm still here. Thanks. Sorry my bad English, from Italy 🇮🇹
Rick Wright saves every song he plays on...my fave. I mean it. His chord sequences are phenomenal. DSOTM is Rick Wright...Echos, too. Animals, too. Prove me wrong. Take his Keyboards out of the mix and they all fall flat... RIP Richard.
I am 60 now and still feel this song like the first time at 15....when I was a shy girl loving "weird" music, my friends did not understand me..😅. I was right, this band was going to be with me forever.
"The piper at gates of dawn" is overrated? "A saucerfoul of secrets" is overrated? "Echoes" is overrated? "Animals" is overrated? Man, from 1967 to 1977 Pink floyd was best band. After yes is overrated (maybe "the wall"). Ten years of very very high music, nobody like them. But if you want, rest Beatles, rest Pink Floyd and listen KING CRIMSON.
This was the first thing I ever hear of Pink floyd. Walked into a record store so the cow and the name of the band. Around that time I was like 16, listening nirvana, pearl jam, then got into led zeppelin and heard mention the name Pink Floyd a lot of times. thought to myself: who the hell is this people? and this cow?. Went home, played it.... I was totally blown away, understanding a bit of how big that name and band were... Saw David Gilmour last week... My love for this music is so big now I just can´t find the words to describe... So I´ll just say: THANK YOU!! David, Syd, Rick, Roger and Nick, THANK SO MUCH!!
I first heard this album in 1970 when it was released and it blew my mind! When I heard the Floyd were releasing a new album then, I ran right out to the record store and bought it and tracked it thru when I got home. Wow! Amazing that Pink Floyd didn't really become world famous until 1973 when they released DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Roger Waters said he got the title of this album from reading a tabloid newspaper article about a woman, a mother, who was implanted with a nuclear-powered pacemaker device to regulate her heartbeat. I guess Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis came up with the cows on the cover; perhaps a suggestion from Roger and David. I can tell there is a lot of inspiration in the music from old sci-fi and horror B-movies too for the sound effects and musical gimmicks. Awesome use of orchestra and chorus! Also love "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" about their trippy meal with their associate Alan Parsons.
Capolavoro assoluto e struggente dei grandi Pink Floyd, un pezzo veramente unico nel suo genere, bellissimo e commovente, da pelle d'oca ogni volta che lo si ascolta. Ho il 33 giri della versione Harvest-Emi Italiana e un altro nella versione Harvest-United Kingdom e naturalmente il Compact Disc versione DDD.
A me fa venire un emozione incredibile. A distanza di tanti anni , ho gli occhi lucidi dall'emozione. 😢🎶🎵💓🎺🎷🥁👏🏿🎸❤🎼🇮🇹 Maestria e capolavoro assoluto. Dopo di loro , ci sono i Cream.
In 1970, when it was released, I was 15 years old, a Brazilian boy. It was one of the songs I heard and liked the most. Truly a masterpiece. Pink Floyd created other masterpieces.
I honestly am grateful to my dad for that. He used to listen to this song while he was still alive, and when I was younger I didn't care about this. But now I realised what is really special about it and why my dad liked it.
Hace como 2 años conoci esta canción. Al principio dije "es muy larga", pero al darme la oportunidad de escucharla completa mi mundo cambio. Fue una explosion de emociones, de inicio a fin. las parte orquestal es lo que mas me encanta. Es algo interesante la combinacion de generos que se expresan en esta pieza. Pero es una combinacion que Pink Floyd pudo hacer de manera muy emocionante. Desde que la escuché hasta el dia de hoy es una de mis canciones favoritas que jamas he escuchado y el mejor disco de Pink Floyd a mi parecer.
Este disco lo escuché hace casi 50 años en Las Regaderas a 15 minutos de Huautla, Oax. alternado con un viaje de Hongos, donde experimenté una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida, iba con amigos que ya conocían todo lo relacionado a viajar en hongos y nos prepararon bien para ello. La percepción instrumental, así como usar de fondo la música para lograr conectarte con tu yo interno, es inexplicable. Pink Floyd es mi grupo preferido y siempre que tengo oportunidad de escucharlo de nuevo completo, lo hago y sonrío de satisfacción para mis adentros.
Que bueno! Ami me pasa que escucho hace dos años y te juro que había escuchado o pienso que todo y no había escuchado esta canción y quedé impresionado de pensar que fue su primer álbum..
Just listened to this for the first time. Was having a walk down eerily lit and empty streets in the midst of the Coronavirus epidemic with nothing but my shadow for company. This was the perfect soundtrack - haunting yet beautiful. Thank you Pink Floyd.
Been intrigued by this Band since I was 10 and Im 61 now and still jump all over their Amazing Journey every album takes you ! There is a lot to their creative compositions, Relax, eyes closed w headphones is the best !!!! Glad you took the Plunge, you'll be Amazed !!!
