ATOM HEART MOTHER

My favorite Pink Floyd album ever. Two reasons here :

1 ? Musically, the suite "Atom Heart Mother" is the only fusion between progressive rock and orchestra that I really appreciate. To explain this position and to make myself clear, it is the same reason I prefer more a Renaissance album like "Prologue" than the profoundly orchestrated "Scheherazade". The way David Gilmour guitar dives in a sea of strings (what a poor poet I am?), is not less than? wonderful !

On the vinil side 2 we have a beautiful Roger Water ballad (for me one of his best); we have an even nicer ballad from David and? a masterpiece from Rick Wright. "Summer 68" is for me one of the best songs ever composed; and I only have after that to deeply respect Mr. Wright as a musician. Finally, we have the strange "Alan´s Psychedelic Breakfast". l never skip this song, I hear it until the end by means of being respectful to my favourite Pink Floy album?

2 ? The second reason is the amount of beauty and emotion present in this album, beauty that can be found in Rick´s and David´s singing; and in the guitar and strings layers on the first side also. I did not find that emotion in no other Pink Floyd album, "Wish You Were Here" is in a distant second place. Another musician that I appreciate too much because the beauty and capacity of transmitting emotions through his songs is Vangelis; but this is subject for others reviews?
