Pink Floyd Legend in Rome with Ron Geesin

I have found their attitude to Atom Heart Mother quite disgusting. Geesin did a magnificent job with their "doodlings". I have not liked to see them criticise their own early work, including with Syd Barrett, and it has felt really lacking in grace (I think Geesin is deserving of lots of appreciation, as well as others who worked on it, and the Barrett issue often has not been treated with grace). The Atom Heart Mother suite is my favourite thing released under the Pink Floyd name, and I too would rather see this than later Floyd.

By the way, Gilmour has still cashed in on AHM later as I recall playing it despite his earlier dismissal of the work. I have wondered if they were so dismissive of it because it so much a Geesin work (of course Waters collaborated with him on Music From the Body which i like more than Waters "solo" work). Pink Floyd had some ego issues (half of them, anyway), and understandably, I think, Geesin wanted to get more recognition from people generally for AHM (which is kind of egotistical too, but I think understandable).

I way prefer Pink Floyd's early period to later period. I love so much of the early Floyd albums and material (pre Dark Side).
