![]() ![]() The best CD version I have heard is the 1994 remaster, the original CD (1987) has virtually no treble at the top end and the 2011 remaster is also disappointing. I have loved this album since first hearing it a few years after it was released. Each track is a miniature marvel in itself. There are also 3 songs, one each from Waters, Wright and Gilmour each very different in style and all sung by their respective writers. There is some extreme weirdness towards the end but I think the whole thing works wonderfully. After the grand opening theme with brass there is a meltingly beautiful cello solo with keyboards that sets the high standard for the rest of the piece. It is a brilliant fusion of rock band with brass and choral elements composed/arranged by Ron Geesin. The whole of the 1st side of the original album was the title track 'Atom Heart Mother' a single work with 6 named sections. If this last track had been left off, you would still have had an album release only a minute or so shorter than the average for the time. The track 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' is the weakest track on this album and really is not much more than filler for an otherwise utterly brilliant album.
