Here Pink Floyd was trying to consolidate their own sound, Experimenting strongly in the A side of the Album, but with a poor B side, where almost all songs are very simple and pop.

Atom Heart Mother: is a colossal epic, great symphonic arrangements, strong athmosferical feeling, and interesting mix of sounds. The problems with this one: Somme passages are extremely long and reiteratives, just makes the song a little boring at times. The second problem is Musician technical skills, this guys clearly are not Virtuosos and whn you made a very ambicious epic like this, the lack of technicity is more evident. In general lines is nice to see how Pink Floyd try to do sommething big and very original. 4 stars for the effort.

If: is very basic and simple, with nice accoustic guitars and bass lines. The strong point are the existencial lyrics and the emotional voice. 4,5 stars

Summer '68 : Compossed by Wright, is a very popy song, is nice to hear it, with good trumpets, but really one expect something more for Pink Floyd, 'cause this can be made easily by the Beattles... 3 stars

Fat Old Sun: Another easy song, for sure this one inspired various Radiohead's songs. Nice bass by Waters. 3,5 stars

Alan Psychedelic Breakfast: This one is just filler. 13 Minutes of nosense. 2 stars.

Nice try, but Floyd can make it a lot better.

Overall 3,4 stars
