With Pink Floyd, you never know where they’ll take you, maybe a serene pasture, floating on clouds or being hauled into mental ward. They took more risks than a lot of bands did. Definitely avant-garde.
My college dormitory room was next to its music arts department building. Whenever my roommate and I were out on our balcony playing 'Atom', the music arts students passing by would stop dead in their tracks to ask what we were listening to.
I first heard this at a friend's house and after many listens, I bought the 12" vinyl album. I love the whole album especial this track and Summer '68. It reminds me on my time as a 15 year old, with long shoulder-length hair, T-shirts, brushed-denim hipster jeans and Adidas trainers. 😄
Man, you have really tapped into a lot of brilliant music the last few months (and beyond) This track is quite an assignment you've given yourself. Nothing anywhere like it. I always find your reviews very insightful, especially for first listens. Tons more Floyd to check out including the flip side of this album. Gratitude.
This is the best reaction video ever. Thank you subscribed today. Similar piece: “In Held ‘Twas I” Procol Harum Live: in concert with the Edmonton Symphony Or “Conquistador” Incredible band.
This was my introduction to Pink Floyd when I was also just 15 years old. Utterly blew my mind. Never looked back, bought every album, now passed to my daughter. Nothing like it in this Universe (or beyond). Have a listen to Roger Waters' Amused to Death, you will not be disappointed, phenomenal concept album also.
The first time a rock band attempted to add classical music to their own sound, except, Pink Floyd did it with a brass assembly. To the astonishment of the press. They couldn't agree with the sound that was produced, to their own detriment. In 1969 we got Deep Purple with the Jon Lord written "Concerto For Group And Orchestra" and everybody laughed because it was silly at that point in time. I mean; rock and a symphony orchestra, who comes up with such ideas, right? Pink Floyd had the same thought but in a different way. No symphonic orchestra but a brass band instead. And it worked, didn't it?
There's a version of this recorded live with just the band playing - no brass, strings or choir - but with beautiful vocal harmonising by David Gilmour and Rick Wright. It can be found on the rare tracks and outtakes album, "Creation". Also, perhaps you'd like to check out the b - side of this album for, specifically, "If", "Summer 68" and "Fat Old Sun"...three great tracks. Cheers Pope :-)
This track is my favorite, ever, my masterpiece... And the way you listened to it, you come into this pure original and huge music is just awesome... You don't have to talk, your face, your hands talk for you... And great end by the way 😂 thank you so much ❤ Love from France 🇫🇷😘
I like to think of part of the dissonant musique concrete section before 'reemergence' as the sound of radioactivity... We had spit the atom. We were still having nuclear war drills in schools at the time and nuclear energy was pretty new as well as people getting used to the idea of the bomb -1970. Atom Heart Mother - Welcome to the future. I Recommend "Let There Be More Light". It was Gilmore's debut with PF. VERY psychedelic. Also, the chilling PF single "Cirrus Minor" has some keyboard ideas that Wright used again in this. I don't believe you've hit the STUDIO version of Echoes. That would be a good bookend to this.
That's interesting. I think of the dissonance as going through a wormhole, getting more and more attenuated until the music re-emerges and reassembles itself. The title came from a random story found in the Evening Standard with the headline 'Atom Heart Mother Named', about a woman who had been given a plutonium pacemaker.
@@angelagraves865 I remember that story, and the associations probably built from there. The 'reemergence' section in this has an almost tectonic force to it. This was Ron Geesin's only collab with Floyd. His stuff is worth hearing too.
Another day, another surprise selection from our young reaction prodigy! I've been over a year now Pope, watching you grow as you learn and appreciate the music of my youth (and probably most of the others on here). Keep 'em coming Pope!
Oh, this is good. Fun fact: due to a production mishap, Rog and Nick had to play the rhythm part in one take. As such, and with no click tracks, the tempo varies slightly. But it all works. This reminds me of getting “lifted” (is that what they call it now?) in my parents’ back garden when they were out and I was maybe 19?
The 70s, and to some degree the late 60s already, had lots of great bands, not just Pink Floyd or Genesis. There were the British bands Jethro Tull, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Yes, Van der Graaf Generator, Nektar, Hawkwind, Gentle Giant, Colosseum, Atomic Rooster, Gryphon, Henry Cow or Greenslade, the German bands Can (one of the most influential bands ever), Amon Düül II, Guru Guru, Embryo, Eloy, Grobschnitt, Tangerine Dream or Birth Control, in France Magma, Gong or Ange, in the USA The Doors, The Residents, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane or The Mothers of Invention, and that's just naming a few; we could go on and on. All of them had their own style. Our favorite band is Magma; they created a completely new style of music called "Zeuhl", which according to the TV-channel Arte is a mixture of jazz, rock, classical, modern avant-garde, R'n'B, metal and world music.
Hey friend , you sliding of the chair was a most appropriate reaction to this masterpiece . I was already lying on the floor when I first heard this track in 1973 ( 19 years old and had just smoked some very righteous weed ) , so I did not have to slide anywhere :) , but I was sliding somewhere inside that is for sure . When we listen we learn . When we learn we evolve . Take care
JFC, YT doesn't display my comment with a YT link in it... I was saying: you gotta experience this live recording without the choir and brass now though, to hear how the band does it alone. title of the video: Atom Heart Mother (Live Montreux, 21 Nov 1970) (Band only)
shear class my man,,this album is a mind subtle mind killer so Fking laid back .Was 16 when I first heard this at a concert in Quadraphonic.How I ask you this inot music ,but another sport. now 1 year from 70 and just wish for a Bong and some A~ cid .Man a Classic from a UK fan.
I have loved this album from the day it was released, it was so different, but just sooo good to trip to and now in my twilight years it is just sooo good to just listen to!
This album is where the wave begins to break for Floyd for me. The early stuff is great in its own rights but, from Atom Heart Mother to The Wall is greatest run of consecutive albums ever released.
Keep it up man, I watch a lot of reaction videos and I prefer yours... you don't stop the music, and your emotions are real. That is what people want to see in these videos, a reflection of how they felt the first time they heard a piece of music.
Adam Hart mother was their first experience with quadraphonics. And I'm pretty sure it's psychedelic despite being orchestrated. After all Allen starts the day out with the Psychedelic breakfast. Lol Seen this performed by Orchestra and choir-only. No Pink Floyd. It was amazing to watch the orchestra produce the same sounds. Never had I seen a more eagerly involved group of musicians. All were non-stop grinning. PF you got to love them. I have since 1968.
Floyd are so absolutely amazing. Love your ending LOL!!! If you want a reaction to something, try Autumn: Heroine's Theme/Deep Summer's Sleep/The Winter Long by Strawbs. Rick Wakeman from Yes was in this band before he moved over to Yes. These guys are overlooked a lot. This song will move you.
Nice reaction 👍🏻 Please check out the entire album The Snow Goose by Camel 🐫 (1975). It takes about 44 minutes so you could cut it in half. It's an instrumental classic prog album based on the novella The Snow Goose by Paul Gallico. A must listen!!
Lol I read somewhere that they deliberately wanted something plain on the cover because they wanted people to not know they were not just a psychedelic band.
if you live where it's 105 degree all summer and humid as hell you might not wear those socks indoors :) hello from houston, where you'll be literally dripping wet when you come inside, and half your tshirt soaked. and start removing everything you have on. that being said ive loved pink floyd for 30 years, and this was always one my my favorite albums, and an album i considered to be very slept on, and i appreiciate your react :) every pink floyd album is an experience unto itself.. there are very few comparisons in music. honestly, the closest comparisons are all classical music, except for some of the albums from the 70's when doing truly epic albums was en vogue.
Yo I feel like you’d dig some soft machine! They were a band that played alongside Floyd in the early years with Syd before this album. You may dig the tune “hope for happiness” or “a certain kind”
POPE...If you ever get a chance, go to a used record (could possibly find a pic online) store and find Umma and check out the back of it...for a fledging relatively newer band , the had tons of equipment then...the last time I saw them in Los Angeles in Anaheim stadium in the late seventies and we counted that they had 12 yes 12 semis to carry all their equipment, Pink knew how to bring you sound with fidelity even out doors. Peace
This was a bare bones band-only track with no substance. Roger Waters sent the track to his composer friend Ron Geesin and Ron added the orchestral and choir parts...then it was ignited. But, to be fair, Pink Floyd as a band, has recreated this LIVE a few times and it was great!!! But, never as great as this: th-cam.com/video/gFzQmz3SK6I/w-d-xo.html
And if anyone is interested, i think these are the vocal sounds in the middle: FFFFFAHHHHHH SEEKO BAAAAAA NEEEEEEE TOE KARE LO YEAHHHH SA SA SA SA SAA FSSS DRRRRRR BO KI RAPATEEKA DO GO TAAAAM RAPATEEKA DO GO TCHAA KO SA RA MEE YA NAPAJEE TE FAAA NAPAREE BE MMMHH BASA GOO BASA GOO BASA GOO BASA GOO OOOOOOO_OH KOO KOO LOO KOO KOO LOOO YEAH YEAH YEAH UMMM KOO KOO LOO YOU! TOO BOO KOO DOO FOO GOO HOO DOO LOO MOO POO ROO
I just 'discovered' your react channel. You don't interrupt the music while it plays, that is rarity, unfortunately. And you like prog, but your missing a few...sooo, try some early Santana, Supertramp, Styx, Nektar, Jade Warrior, Mike Oldfield, and early Chicago. That'll keep you busy for awhile, along with all of the other suggestions others have made. Enjoy!
A real drummer, a real bass player! What Is this? No wonder it's so good!!!!!
Can't help but think the classical composers from the past would have marvelled at that piece of art. `
Speechless may just be the most common Pink Floyd Reaction.
This is just pure art the finale always Gives me chills. These guys were so far ahead of the time it’s just amazing
Not a bullshit,this is an incredible masterpieeeeeeeeeece,from Treviso Italy
Great reaction summer 68 is another underrated song from the album.
And IF
and alans breakfast
@@bllacklightt ALAN'S PSYCHEDELIC BREAKFAST 😎😉
@@65alef you are goddamn right
The entire album is brilliant and underappreciated, each song is its own musical experiment in a journey unlike any other on the album
With Pink Floyd, you never know where they’ll take you, maybe a serene pasture, floating on clouds or being hauled into mental ward. They took more risks than a lot of bands did. Definitely avant-garde.
😂 It’s a timeless work by Pink Floyd and thank you for letting me hear it again. Bravo for your open-mindedness and your musical sensitivity.

Blue Gazelles for me
....and drugs, lots of drugs. I have touched the music.
am still the same
Summer '68 is so sweet.
Set the controls for the heart of the symphony!

Similar piece: “In Held ‘Twas I”
Procol Harum Live: in concert with the Edmonton Symphony
Or “Conquistador”
Incredible band.
Best online review in history...
wow, I am impressed this is pre commercial pink floyd it is abstract art rock, this is part of the LSD era
Pink Floyd is and will always be my most favorite band ever; I discovered them 47 years ago.
This song is an opera
In 1970 and with a good joint it tasted like heaven
You don't need a joint to trully appreciate the Floyd. The musical journey is enough as it is.
This was my introduction to Pink Floyd when I was also just 15 years old. Utterly blew my mind. Never looked back, bought every album, now passed to my daughter. Nothing like it in this Universe (or beyond). Have a listen to Roger Waters' Amused to Death, you will not be disappointed, phenomenal concept album also.
Yes, that is, in fact, the appropriate response to this piece of music. Well expressed.
my personal favorite song
knocked me outta my chair too the first time i heard it 😅
Priceless. Sliding out of the chair made me rofl. Keep digging it dude.
Not many people review this. Well done. One of my favourites.

Love from France 🇫🇷😘
Pink Floyd's effect ......
Nice! Now to check out their other 20+ min masterpiece "Echoes" 😁✌️🎸
He's done the Live at Pompeii version
I like to think of part of the dissonant musique concrete section before 'reemergence' as the sound of radioactivity... We had spit the atom.

If you ever try LSD, I highly recommend you listen to this 😎😱🙂
Beautiful reaction!
24:36
Yeah pretty much
Os cara viviam em 1970, ja olhando pra 2087
Yes, as mentioned previously, Summer 68 is a ripper too! Awfully large rabbit holes, Pink Floyd and Yes 😂😂
Great reaction!

Fat Old Sun is another beautiful song from this album, is not 20 minutes long tho dont worry ;)
That ending was perfect !!!!!! hahaha I love how much of a chance you give the music and really let yourself be absorbed by it !
One of the best progres-psychodelic rock tunes ever xd

Good evening Nyco.
Great to see you back on the Floyd train again.
Great job………again.

Really, the greatest ending of a reaction vid ever 🤣
Ah nice Pope doing the Pink
I don't think it was the pot.
Love the ending. You should check out the Three Stooges.
a version with just the band from 1970 kqed pbs tv is really good
Check out TIME from the live Pulse Concert (London 1994).
Floyd are so absolutely amazing. Love your ending LOL!!! If you want a reaction to something, try Autumn: Heroine's Theme/Deep Summer's Sleep/The Winter Long by Strawbs. Rick Wakeman from Yes was in this band before he moved over to Yes. These guys are overlooked a lot. This song will move you.

Funky Dung
Into my top 5 PF songs
Highly underrated album that should have sold much better. i blame the cow!
Can't tell you how many times I've seen that cow on record store racks over the years. Discovered it quite late, many years later, but worth the wait.
Lol I read somewhere that they deliberately wanted something plain on the cover because they wanted people to not know they were not just a psychedelic band.
@Penderyn Me too!
Not for everyone, but good nonetheless.

And to think that at the UFO club they had normal gear and some home slide projectors and a colour acetate wheel………………not that many years earlier
