AMG –
The most impenetrable album Pink Floyd released while on Harvest, which also makes it one of the most interesting of the era. It kicks off with a side-long, 23-minute extended orchestral piece that may not seem to head anywhere, but is often intriguing, more in what it suggests than what it achieves. Then, on the second side, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and Rick Wright have a song apiece, winding up with the group composition "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" wrapping it up. Of these, Waters begins developing the voice that made him the group's lead songwriter during their classic era with "If," while Wright has an appealingly mannered, very English psychedelic fantasia on "Summer 68," and Gilmour's "Fat Old Sun" meanders quietly before ending with a guitar workout. "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast," the 12-minute opus that ends the album floats for several minutes before ending on a drawn-out jam that finally gets the piece moving. That it lasts an entire side illustrates that Pink Floyd was getting better with the larger picture instead of the details. Atom Heart Mother will largely be for cultists, but its unevenness means there's also a lot to cherish here.
