ATOM HEART MOTHER

Let us forget about the A-side for a while. If there wouldn't be a B-side, album will lose too much. So, Summer '68 is like an ode to a lost generation. If is a simple plainer song and takes its power from this simplicity and throughout its beautifully composed lyrics. Fat Old Sun is a typical Gilmour song with a wonderful guitar solo and lyrics. For Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, I can only speak very personally. This song is a genuine composition of Psychedelic Music. This song is a hippie after 68 generation. A hippie, a "psychedelic" person who is not aware of the present, of that this is not 68 anymore. It is Alan, It is Pink. It is us that reject that 68 will never come again.

For the part A. The magnificent "Atom Heart Mother", there are so little things left to be said. It is a work of genius, of art, of beauty, of greatnes, of life. Not only for its brilliant orchestration, orchestral entrance especially, but also for the wholeness, for the life inside it it is ART. That song is a great composition that deserves to be next those of Bach's or Beethoven's.

All in all, a great album. Essential for psychedelic fans, a must, not to die w/o listening for Pink Floyd fans.

For i am the latter my rating is 5/5.
