It doesn't make me sad that no one will ever make music like this again. Because this doesn't get old. This sounds as amazing as it did the first time listened to it
How many albums did he produce for PF.I thought only Dark side of the moon.l didn't even know he was also producing Atom Heart Mother .But l can hear his influence.....
as much as i remember, Alan Parson is a sound engineer that took a big part in the development and making of the dark side. he worked at abbey road studios at the time.
This is such a powerful piece of music by the masters, Pink Floyd. What can you say about them that hasn't been said before - they were at the forefront of musical experimentation and creativity, with none of the technology that's available today - just wonderful. An absolutely unique band and we'll never see their like again, unfortunately. Many thanks for doing this reaction, guys, an incredible, mind blowing experience for you. Incidentally, it would be great if you could react to Run Like Hell live from the Pulse concert - it's brilliant!
The song "Atom Heart Mother" was written by Pink Floyd and other avant-garde musicians. As a result, it is quite different from the traditional Pink Floyd atmosphere. The original title "Atom Heart Mother" was taken from the headline of a newspaper article at the time about a pregnant woman who had a pacemaker implanted in her heart and was surviving.
You guys are the best reaction youtubers of music and songs I've ever come across. The guy in black tee shirt definitely definitely knows music and plays guitar. Thank you for sharing your genuine, music savvy reactions.
the creative process is a journey. the fact that 4 people can come together and create something like this; well, that's a 1 in a million chance that just happens. there'll never be another band like them
@@melod7670 We definitely need them to listen to- "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"...that might eff em up...
Underrated track, even by the band themselves. The section starting with the cello leading up to the first guitar solo is just something else. I like how you'd never think this was Pink Floyd until you hear the drumming, in Mason's unmistakable style. And I particularly enjoy Wright's parts here - ever the band's unsung hero.
I first heard this in 1970 when I was 16. Mind blown, listened ever since. It only gets better. But how I wish I could go back and listen for the first time again!
I always listen to this album under a tree on a summer day. I feel the sun and the breeze on my body, I'm calm, I'm focused, I'm in the Pink Floyd universe ... and I'm ready for the journey, again.
I discovered this gem many years after other most famous Floyd's tracks...and then I started to listen it in an infinite loop :-D ...I love also Summer '68 in the same album
David Gilmour's guitar work is superb. Alternates scales on solos, between blues, jazz and classical. . The idea of conceptual disc was developed, and influenced other artists, as is the case of the band Yes. a misunderstood masterpiece
Atom heart mother is one of my favorite albums and shows me that this when the Floyd were really starting to kind of find which way they should take the band and like you guys stated led into meddle which in itself was when they got the signature sound, anyways this whole song was a trip and you guys should honestly really consider watching their final performance at Live 8 when all 4 members reunited and put up (in my opinion) a damn near perfect show as queen did at live aid and gets me emotional every time I watch it rock on you guys!!!
This album is a kind of sound transition in their carreer (1970). Not pure prog. A mix of psychedelic rock + space rock + folk + prog + avant garde + experimental + symphonic rock. And yes, they played this thing live at time. The last track (Allan's Psychedelic Breakfast) is another crazy and beautiful instrumental piece.
at this moment, upon my oncologist’s advice, I’m flying high on medical gummie bears…..I’ve heard this song hundreds of times, much to my wife’s chagrin, but tonight, it sounds so very sweet on my EarPods
Set the controls for the heart of the sun should be next. I'd check out the video version from the live at Pomeii movie. That movie is just great.. So trippy. One of These Days is another great video from that movie..
There is a musician called Ron Geesin who is credited as being largely responsible for the composition and production of this great recording - Pink Floyd owe him for this one !! Thanks for the reaction guys !!
Geesin Is the One who wrotes down the orchestral parts (like on The Wall, orchestra and arrangements, and on "The Body"). You should try to listen to "the Amazing pudding" that is the live version of Atom H.M. performend only by the four Pink Floyd on stage.
If you think this is experimental, listen to the "Ummagumma" album, specifically the studio portion (it's a double album, one live, one studio recordings). My first exposure to Pink Floyd was with that album as a teenager way back in 1970, followed shortly after with the Atom Heart Mother album (well, 8 track tape). My first listen for this song, I was driving on the highway, on a cloudy / hazy Minnesota winter afternoon, with snow drifting slowly across the road, and when the part of the song came on at 6:30 mark, I felt like I was stoned / in another world. I later acquired all of the other Floyd albums, there is no other band that can equal them.
It's so interesting that you guys are reacting to this song! I think it really showcases their ability to compose great orchestral masterpieces. This mixed with psychedelic blues is what created albums like Animals or Dark side of the Moon.
I drove 300 miles in November 1971 to see Pink Floyd play in an old 2500 seat theatre. The sound quality was unbelievable, many speakers running up the wall and across. They started by playing Atom Heart Mother, after that they went into the whole Umma Gumma album, literally scaring people during this with unexpected light flashes along with volume turn ups. For the encore, they surprised us with a blues instrumental, David Gilmour looked up at the crowd and smiled as if saying,"surprised you with this one". It was the best concert of my life until March 1973 when I saw the Dark Side of the Moon tour in a 7500 seat auditorium, first time hearing that!
This could be used as audio on a spaceship travel or landing in a galaxy far away. Very sci- Fi like and years ahead of their time. The portions that music are discordant being background , and some areas in harmony, but much less than most of their tracks. The use of sympathy and then just straight up peculiar can represent the good of mankind vs the bad or confusing to the discordance out of harmony of mankind. With a choir of angels/ demons in background at times.
I agree with other comments, such an under-rated album. I remember all the bagging the band got over Fat Old Sun...way too folksy they said but Gilmour's guitar on that was as usual brilliant. His live renditions of the song are beyond brilliant though. I have to say I love the brotherly love between you two, and it reminds me of the connection I have with my 3 brothers (and sister). Music is a massive part of all our lives isn't it.
"The Dark Side" is an old, experienced, lady, she knows all the tricks, she knows her craft. But, she also knows that here prime is over, there is no curiosity anymore, no hope, the subtle little things which nobody can explain, are gone. Before "The Dark Side" it was a virgin music, music that really tickles your imagination.
In my teenage years my cousin and I often when out deep into the forest at nights with his telescope on our bikes. We find a high point so we had the whole stary sky above us. Watching the stars talking about life and where we came from.....UFO.......incarnation.....wow man, that was my education and not in school. He brought a small tape recorder with him and this was one of the songs on the tape. Can you imagine....a dark night in the middle of the forest far away from everybody, only the sky (and this song).........I'm forever thankfull to my cousin that took me along.
When Pink Floyd began in 1965 they were writing psychedelic pop songs like Small Faces 'Itchycoo Park' and Traffic's 'Hole in my Shoe' and as good as they were at that they reached a point, especially when Gilmour joined in 1967 when they decided to completely disengage with pop music and become a space band that identified with the London underground, and primarily targeted inner space as their theme. So Atom Heart Mother was created in that period. However they reached a time when they needed to re integrate good lyrical songs and developed melodic instrumental passages to get a bigger audience and get the income they needed to sustain their ever evolving creativity and so Meddle and Dark Side of the Moon where born. It's been a great journey and I enjoy all of it, but I understand how confusing it might be for younger people listening to different stages of their career. Well done lads..long live Pink Floyds music.
Your post is inaccurate. They were already a "space band" identified with the London underground in the Syd Barrett days, well before Gilmour joined. The pop songs were made for the radio, and the space jams were for live performance (at the UFO club, for example). Syd Barrett wrote their most famous space numbers, Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine, both of which are featured on their very first album. They continued the space themes for a while after Barrett had to quit the band and Gilmour joined, but soon transitioned to the more lyrical songs and soundscapes of which "Echoes" is the culmination. After Echoes, they then entered their more popular phase in '73 with a tighter, more commercial sound showcasing complex lyrics about alienation, madness and death. They stayed in that mode until the formula, and its domination by bassist-songwriter Roger Waters, led to tension in the band and its ultimate breakup in 1982. None of the records published thereafter under the name Pink Floyd are actually Pink Floyd. Without Roger Waters, they band lost its edge both lyrically and musically. Floyd without Waters would be like the Beatles without McCartney
This album proves that this and only this band can transcend more than musicality into outer body art form, and do it more than just on one album. Masterful. Keep up the great reactions.
Another great reaction, Pink Floyd never disappoints. PS: If anyone lives in LA you must get tickets to attend the Pink Floyd Exhibition from August-Nov 2021, how I wish the Exhibition could be brought to Australia
Pink Floyd recorded without the choir and whoever directed just filled in the spaces for it. Look Pink Floyd whether you like them or not lol knows each other and knows what needs to be done to groove
Con questo CAPOLAVORO paragonabile alle sinfonie di Mozart , vado letteralmente in orbita ........le tastiere di RICHARD sono da sogno , la ritmica di Nik da favola , il basso di Roger immensamente profondo e la chitara di David è celestiale. Assieme all orchestra sinfonica e ai coristi diventa un APOTEOSI. PINK FLOYD FOREVER❤❤❤❤❤❤
This Suite was born from a mass of tapes recorded by Pink Floyd in the spare time from the many concerts that they did at the time with great use of time for travel. The ensemble was "heavily" orchestrated by Ron Geesin (composer of avant-garde cultured music) and the choirs were handled by John Aldiss. Pink Floyd had very little time to devote to the production, but one thing is certain for me: the choice of brass, the basic choices of the choirs, a huge dose of the complicated interweaving of the central part are certainly "work" of Rick Wright who, besides being the only "musician for studies”, among the many instruments he knew he loved playing trumpet and trombone (as in some songs of other LPs) and he loved Stockhausen immeasurably ... as anyone who knows something beyond rock "feels" distinctly in many of the compositional passages. Thanks again to your ability to go "beyond" the usual four weird things 👏🏼
Thanks for the precious hints. Not hard to understand Wright's affinity to Stockhausen. I also find an influence of Hungarian experimental composer Ligeti in this suite.
@@pedrosousa5969 For me it has always been difficult to separate the influences on Rick from those on Ron Geesin (for various reasons "sole writer" of the scores) ... from those of the Country-Western on David who for me were even affected by the music of Ennio Morricone for "spaghetti western". However, even if both David and Roger later "disown" the value of this Suite, for me it was a fundamental stage in the musical evolution of P.F. … as well as the turning point which followed the progressive marginalization of the contributions of Richard's keyboards compared to the growing dominance of guitars.
@@Enrico.Sbardolini yes, the main theme has the western movies accords, i've always wandered why. That part is somehow a dated one, I mean, it's something from the 60s and 70s culture. But this experimental mix of symphonic, contemporary, rock and "western spagetti" is absolutely unique. Atom heart Mother was as fascitating in the 70s as it will be in the 2070s, I have no doubt about that. And this uniquenessapplies to many Pink Floyd works until "Animals".
Just imagine, if you will, how people felt/reacted when this song first came out. It was back when certain substances were VERY popular and used quite regularly. Now, listening to this song, or anything on this album to be honest, WHILE being on any one of those substances, must have been something to behold! Great song, from a band that has and will live in eternity in the halls of Great Bands. And your reactions were on point, as well as very entertaining. You know what thought struck me with this musical composition? This is what happens when you take EVERY musical style of EVERY movie genre, and mash them up into one single piece!
Pink Floyd worked with Ron Geesin on this one; he wrote all of the arrangements. With the limits of recording technology at the time (1970), coupled with the fact that none of Pink Floyd knew how to read music. it was incredibly difficult to record this song.
Unbelievably, the band members don't like this. They saw it as a creative dead end, although I suspect they were also swayed by how difficult it was to play live. I completely disagree with them - I think it's great.
1970,but this thing was and is played from many symphony orchestras all over the world,and yet. serch in the net,it´s an expirienc to see the "Atom Heart Mother Suite" live !
You Were spot on, this pretty much was the gateway album into the new direction the band took after Syd Barratt was dropped as the front man. Then came Meddle, which set the course for everything since. So there was a lot of experimentation in this album, while they searched for new ideas. This album was very much of its time, indeed a lot of movie sound tracks at that time, late 1960's early 1970's, had similar flavours. Think of Kubrik's '2001, A Space Oddyssey' and you'll get the idea.
You should give Procul Harem, A whiter shade of pale live in Denmark 2006 and the 1967 version a listen you will not be disappointed... and for another timeless classic Moody Blues, Nights in white satin - the full version which is just called 'the night'. Gary Brooker and justin Haywood beautiful voices.
Yes! Definitely anything from the Moody Blues! Justin Hayward’s voice is one of the most distinctive in rock music history. It (“Days of Future Passed”) preceded Pink Floyd’s AHM by three years!!!
This masterpiece is 50 years old. It proves that Pink Floyd’s sound is absolutely timeless perfection. These guys unique sound was one century ahead of its time, and once you listen to it you become completely addicted to Pink Floyd.
This is the real pink floyd as their psychedelic start trip , 1st time I listened to this was on cassette , blew my mind ❤ marmalade I like marmalade 🤯

In 1976, i was 5 years old, my two favourites lp : R Wagner "Tannauser" and Pink Floyd "Wish you we here"
I saw Thannäuser by Wagner just outside La Scala theater in Milan 30 years ago and it was mesmerizing. I’m Italian but I always loved Wagner !
If this song had been played back in medieval times, people would freak out.
@Ace Roberto How stupid do you think we are? This is just like the old I hacked my girlfriends Instagram. Go away!
It doesn't make me sad that no one will ever make music like this again. Because this doesn't get old. This sounds as amazing as it did the first time listened to it

However they reached a time when they needed to re integrate good lyrical songs and developed melodic instrumental passages to get a bigger audience and get the income they needed to sustain their ever evolving creativity and so Meddle and Dark Side of the Moon where born. It's been a great journey and I enjoy all of it, but I understand how confusing it might be for younger people listening to different stages of their career. Well done lads..long live Pink Floyds music.
Your post is inaccurate. They were already a "space band" identified with the London underground in the Syd Barrett days, well before Gilmour joined. The pop songs were made for the radio, and the space jams were for live performance (at the UFO club, for example). Syd Barrett wrote their most famous space numbers, Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine, both of which are featured on their very first album. They continued the space themes for a while after Barrett had to quit the band and Gilmour joined, but soon transitioned to the more lyrical songs and soundscapes of which "Echoes" is the culmination. After Echoes, they then entered their more popular phase in '73 with a tighter, more commercial sound showcasing complex lyrics about alienation, madness and death. They stayed in that mode until the formula, and its domination by bassist-songwriter Roger Waters, led to tension in the band and its ultimate breakup in 1982. None of the records published thereafter under the name Pink Floyd are actually Pink Floyd. Without Roger Waters, they band lost its edge both lyrically and musically. Floyd without Waters would be like the Beatles without McCartney
This album proves that this and only this band can transcend more than musicality into outer body art form, and do it more than just on one album. Masterful. Keep up the great reactions.
Another great reaction, Pink Floyd never disappoints. PS: If anyone lives in LA you must get tickets to attend the Pink Floyd Exhibition from August-Nov 2021, how I wish the Exhibition could be brought to Australia
Next video by Pink Floyd: Scream Thy Last Scream.
Pink Floyd recorded without the choir and whoever directed just filled in the spaces for it. Look Pink Floyd whether you like them or not lol knows each other and knows what needs to be done to groove
I just love how much the guy on the right side enjoys and loves Pink Floyd
This album was the jumbled box of puzzle pieces that became every perfect album thereafter.
Still brilliantly original in its own right.
Con questo CAPOLAVORO paragonabile alle sinfonie di Mozart , vado letteralmente in orbita ........le tastiere di RICHARD sono da sogno , la ritmica di Nik da favola , il basso di Roger immensamente profondo e la chitara di David è celestiale.
Assieme all orchestra sinfonica e ai coristi diventa un APOTEOSI.
PINK FLOYD FOREVER❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good to hear you guys picked this one- and yep, it's a mind changing music when you never have heard through the whole album.
This Suite was born from a mass of tapes recorded by Pink Floyd in the spare time from the many concerts that they did at the time with great use of time for travel.
The ensemble was "heavily" orchestrated by Ron Geesin (composer of avant-garde cultured music) and the choirs were handled by John Aldiss.
Pink Floyd had very little time to devote to the production, but one thing is certain for me: the choice of brass, the basic choices of the choirs, a huge dose of the complicated interweaving of the central part are certainly "work" of Rick Wright who, besides being the only "musician for studies”, among the many instruments he knew he loved playing trumpet and trombone (as in some songs of other LPs) and he loved Stockhausen immeasurably ... as anyone who knows something beyond rock "feels" distinctly in many of the compositional passages.
Thanks again to your ability to go "beyond" the usual four weird things 👏🏼
Thanks for the precious hints. Not hard to understand Wright's affinity to Stockhausen. I also find an influence of Hungarian experimental composer Ligeti in this suite.

For me it has always been difficult to separate the influences on Rick from those on Ron Geesin (for various reasons "sole writer" of the scores) ... from those of the Country-Western on David who for me were even affected by the music of Ennio Morricone for "spaghetti western".
However, even if both David and Roger later "disown" the value of this Suite, for me it was a fundamental stage in the musical evolution of P.F. … as well as the turning point which followed the progressive marginalization of the contributions of Richard's keyboards compared to the growing dominance of guitars.
Richard Wright summed up: Sysyphus
@@Enrico.Sbardolini yes, the main theme has the western movies accords, i've always wandered why. That part is somehow a dated one, I mean, it's something from the 60s and 70s culture. But this experimental mix of symphonic, contemporary, rock and "western spagetti" is absolutely unique. Atom heart Mother was as fascitating in the 70s as it will be in the 2070s, I have no doubt about that. And this uniquenessapplies to many Pink Floyd works until "Animals".
Just imagine, if you will, how people felt/reacted when this song first came out. It was back when certain substances were VERY popular and used quite regularly. Now, listening to this song, or anything on this album to be honest, WHILE being on any one of those substances, must have been something to behold! Great song, from a band that has and will live in eternity in the halls of Great Bands. And your reactions were on point, as well as very entertaining.
You know what thought struck me with this musical composition? This is what happens when you take EVERY musical style of EVERY movie genre, and mash them up into one single piece!
Certain substances are more more commonly used now, but the attitude is different.
Pink Floyd worked with Ron Geesin on this one; he wrote all of the arrangements. With the limits of recording technology at the time (1970), coupled with the fact that none of Pink Floyd knew how to read music. it was incredibly difficult to record this song.
Rick Wright knew how to read music. Geesin arranged the sequences, yes, but they were written mostly by the Floyd.
I Pink Floyd sono uno spettacolo!! 👽
Approvo pienamente
hai detto la quasi totale verità! i PF non sono UNO spettacolo.....sono LO spettacolo!
@@andreascala2663 Pink Floyd e BASTA
Finalmente qualche italiano! 😂
Comunque sono d'accordo.
Pink Floyd are just genius, they will be played forever& I can’t understand why they didn’t like this, it’s brilliant ❤️🙏
Unbelievably, the band members don't like this. They saw it as a creative dead end, although I suspect they were also swayed by how difficult it was to play live. I completely disagree with them - I think it's great.
They see it as an essential step towards Echoes.
This is my fav pink floyd song now
The Greatest band ever..
IO AMO I PINK FLOYD
U need to hear some Saurceful of secrets stuff like Remember a day or Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
I forgot how awesome this song is! I love all of your Pink Floyd reactions, they are truly one of the greatest if not the greatest band to ever exist.
Fearless Pink Floyd
"I am completely fucked up" LOL!
1970,but this thing was and is played from many symphony orchestras all over the world,and yet. serch in the net,it´s an expirienc to see the "Atom Heart Mother Suite" live !
This suite was included in the music classes program in France
Hey .guys .! I love your sensibility...! Your réactions 💖😲
maybe the best song of pink floyd with dogs
Exploring risk in play has obvious benefits for development and learning love this album its a trip
"I'm completely fucked up" best comment ever. Thats Floyd.
You Were spot on, this pretty much was the gateway album into the new direction the band took after Syd Barratt was dropped as the front man. Then came Meddle, which set the course for everything since. So there was a lot of experimentation in this album, while they searched for new ideas. This album was very much of its time, indeed a lot of movie sound tracks at that time, late 1960's early 1970's, had similar flavours. Think of Kubrik's '2001, A Space Oddyssey' and you'll get the idea.
You should give Procul Harem, A whiter shade of pale live in Denmark 2006 and the 1967 version a listen you will not be disappointed... and for another timeless classic Moody Blues, Nights in white satin - the full version which is just called 'the night'. Gary Brooker and justin Haywood beautiful voices.
Yes! Definitely anything from the Moody Blues! Justin Hayward’s voice is one of the most distinctive in rock music history. It (“Days of Future Passed”) preceded Pink Floyd’s AHM by three years!!!
I listen to this while house cleaning, detailing the car, yard work. It makes the chores disappear.
Es una obra de arte
This masterpiece is 50 years old. It proves that Pink Floyd’s sound is absolutely timeless perfection. These guys unique sound was one century ahead of its time, and once you listen to it you become completely addicted to Pink Floyd.
yeah - great reaction - thank you guys
Has anyone ever tried naming all of the albums on the wall behind them? Every time I look I seem to recognise something I didn't see before.
Have a bowl,and listen as u drift off to sleep,very nice !
It was a big risk in 1970 for a rock band to do music with a classic orchestra and choir. For our joy - they did it.
This is the real pink floyd as their psychedelic start trip , 1st time I listened to this was on cassette , blew my mind ❤ marmalade I like marmalade 🤯
