But like I said, it's not all bad, and it helped the band figure out what worked and what didn't a year later they released the masterpiece Echoes, and shortly after that began work on Eclipse (what became DSOTM), both excellent long-form pieces in their own right. I love the Atom Heart Mother suite, its remind me a lot of Echoes theyre both grand, powerful tracks. It just comes off sounding like a band that decided they wanted to do a side long "classical" piece and had no idea how to accomplish this, so they threw together whatever they could come up with and the result is a jumbled mess. That whole noise section after Funky Dung, the choral section, and the organ arpeggios right after the main theme all feel like filler to me. But it suffers for the same reason parts of Yes' Tales from Topographic Oceans suffers - in a nutshell, they were trying to stretch the piece out and added a bunch of filler to accomplish this. credited to Waters / Gilmore actually plays the track, ’Wots. The B-Side labelled, ’The Gold Its In The.

The Netherlands 7 from 1972, promoting two songs from the Pink Floyd album ’Obscured By Clouds.

It doesnt get nearly the love it deserves. I'm not a fan, on the whole, although I think there are very nice passages contained within (The opening theme, the Funky Dung guitar solo, the closing section/coda are all nice). Thanks to Jan Veldman at Born Wild tattoos in Winnipeg MB. Just wanted to give some appreciation to this amazing piece of music.
