Roger Waters declined, saying that the different parts would sound bad taken out of context.

Bill from Erie, PaStanley Kubrick asked the band if he could use parts of this song in his movie "A Clockwork Orange".
The backup choir is sung by the John Aldiss Choir
Allison from A Little Ol' Town In, MiI bet you could use this song in a score for a movie. Waters told the producer to drive out to the country and photograph something "ordinary". Tadeo from Montreal, QcThe cover to this album was chosen because people at the time had to much of a strong imagery with Pink Floyd as a space-rock band, so they tried conveying a different image. I'm cellist, amateur orchester director and I love that song, could anyone tell me how I could get the music score The live performances of it - particularly the October 17, 1971, San Diego recording - are another matter, with some incredible solos from Dave and Rick. Oldpink from New Castle, InI know this will irritate some of you, but I never much liked the original studio version of this. Definitely on Floyd's greatest hits, if you wanted only another small handful of songs. I wake up at some weird part sometimes and get so freaked out. I usually put this on or Echoes before I go to bed. I get so f'n happy and pumped up when you hear the chorus ever so often and finally at the end when everything comes in the choir in the chorus. Drew from Buffalo, NyThis song is so powerful and moving. I wholeheartedly disagree in fact, this has got to be one of the most epic songs I've ever listened to, maybe besides "A Saucerful of Secrets." I love the experimentation with the symphony the brass section makes for a wonderful melody.Īll in all, great song for those looking for something different. Harry from South Bend, InI once heard that Atom Heart Mother was the worst album by Pink Floyd, that it was a true embarrassment to their career. Years later, Kubrick refused Roger Waters permission to use audio samples from his film 2001: A Space Odyssey on Waters' solo album Amused to Death. It can be seen on a shelf in the music shop scene. Kubrick did, however, include the album cover in the film. Ironically, Stanley Kubrick wanted to use this track for his film "A Clockwork Orange" however, the band refused permission. Airy, MdYeah this song is a perfect song for a movie. Probably my favorite drum track to any song ever. The drums and bass go together so well in this song. Google search it non-pink floyd fans who don't know what that is. Perhaps it is too short? I hear "The Unknown Song" in this. I don't ever want to hear a bad thing about the song. It was one of the first albums to sound TOTALLY different than their previous one. This is coming from probably the biggest Floyd fan I can think of. Seth from Foster, RiThis song is amazing. The keyboard solo at the beginning (without that cello solo) is AMAZING, it really moves me. Giselle from Buenos Aires, ArgentinaThe Live at KQED version is awesome. No one has mentioned the amazing bass trombone rips in this. Bob from Tarlton, OhThis is an absolutely genius piece of music. However trying to find information on it today is like picking hens teeth. I read later on that there were 5 different productions of this album that were released. Warren from CanadaSeveral years ago a friend of mine and me both had the Atom Heart Mother album (vinyl) but the the production on his album had a drier sound as opposed to mine which had a more echoy wet sound. One camp is not superior over the other, it’s just your personal taste on the subject. There are some that love this to death & many who just will never like it. To be kind it’s an acquired taste, even among us Floyd fans. You don’t there without “Meddle” but no so with “Atom Heart Mother”. The next album to follow “Meddle” now that was the jam! That was the transitional album when Floyd started writing/producing more cohesive stuff & the leap from there to “Dark Side of the Moon” & all their later stuff. This album represented the end of Floyd’s bizarre experimental psychedelic phase. That one I really like & even “Fat Old Sun” is kinda ok too. The only song that I like here is of course already advertised as being “The most accessible” song on the album is “Summer ‘68”. Waters was asked what it would take to re-do this again & he basically said to “F*k off!” That he’d never do it for any kind of money. Just never could get into it, heck even the band themselves said that it was awful. Anthony from New York, NyActually this is my least liked Floyd album & to date, the only one that I never owned.
