Mudmen is the highlight, and one of my favorite PF tracks!

Love this album - But today I'll go with the title track, "Obscured By Clouds" -
- Music is Life, that's why our hearts have beats -

The first two songs do it for me. I suppose I'll go with Clouds.
There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark...

Yup. Approve Gives it an atmosphere of a kitchen with a small social setting (one-two other people).

Their 2nd best album behind Animals. Dark side isn't very good to me
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I really love the full band of "Morning Glory" from that section as well. Especially when the guitar solo comes in near the end. It's basically the last "Old Floyd" kiss off to the 60's as it was all change from here on in.

"Obscured By Clouds", a dress rehearsal for "Dark Side of the Moon" or just the sound of them working stuff out?

Yeah, AHM is great indeed, specially the title track. But it still sounds too much like early Pink Floyd, not "mature" Pink Floyd (just to give a name to the periods). Though the guitar parts on the title track (and Fat Old Sun too, I guess) do point in the direction the band would take. I still think that Echoes (and One of this Days) is the first song to feature the trade-mark Floyd sound of that "mature" period of the band.


Ah, I didn't like it at first, but "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" is quite charming. I think AHM deserves a thread of it's own!


I used to dislike... or rather dismiss Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, but last time I put the whole album, it was actually rather nice. I guess if it was only the music without the cooking breakfast sounds it would be more cohesive and enjoyable for me.

100% Agree. I pick "Mudmen" . I love "Free Four" so much too. Very different sound and style plus Dark lyrics.


Though since I made that post, Mudmen has climbed to the top spot of the votes

And I'd say that it's an unjustifiably over-looked opus in the Floydian canon.

Voted for Absolutely Curtains, simply because it has one of the greatest titles, and that wonderful ending with the voices of the Mapuga tribe.

What does that mean? Please, proofread it.

Well I mean that I think the second side of Atom Heart Mother consists of good songs, only the song "If" is IMO not that good.
