ATOM HEART MOTHER

Such diversity, and yet it always retains its Floydness. This album is a transitional album, recovering from the epileptic fit that was Ummagumma (which was still okay, but random), and moving away from the band's psychedelic roots, as evident with a more relaxed and familiar drumming style from Mason. The First track baring the name of the album, is a somewhat erratic but purely progressive fusion of orchestra and Floyd. "If" is sung by Waters, I believe, and, althoug possessing a good melody, reveals what is to become of many songs sung by Roger during The Wall and The Final Cut, but that is a long time later than this album. "Summer '68" is an amazing song by Rick Wright, who also sings it. "Fat Old Sun" is Gilmour, and very nice, with some cool drum work by Mason. "Alan`s Psychedelic Breakfast" makes me hungry and satisfied at the same time. Its a good album, but the studio album right after it is in...credible!!!
