Talk:Atom Heart Mother (An Alternate Pink Floyd)

Title track no orchestra?

The recent PF early years shows a live version of AHM title track with no orchestra.... obviously there is some upside to this arrangement and people have been praising it.

The studio version is quite good, but it probably could have been recorded as a non-orchestra instrumental with more guitars and organs. It probably would have aged better too.

I suggest that AHM with no orchestra, and no Alans Psychedlic Breakfast. The Album could have been better regarded in real life if some of this stuff was actually done. The inclusion of the rare movie soundtrack stuff like the Chess song, is interesting. I always liked that song. Hopefully it would get beefed up for a studio album, AHM tracks were so much richer sounding than the Zimbraskie Point recordings. Summer 68' is the pinnacle of Rick's songwriting IMO. The last PF song he wrote lyrics for too (yes, Waters imitates his groupie sadness theme on "Stay").
