This is such a powerful piece of music by the masters, Pink Floyd. What can you say about them that hasn't been said before - they were at the forefront of musical experimentation and creativity, with none of the technology that's available today - just wonderful. An absolutely unique band and we'll never see their like again, unfortunately. Many thanks for doing this reaction, guys, an incredible, mind blowing experience for you. Incidentally, it would be great if you could react to Run Like Hell live from the Pulse concert - it's brilliant!
the creative process is a journey. the fact that 4 people can come together and create something like this; well, that's a 1 in a million chance that just happens. there'll never be another band like them
The song "Atom Heart Mother" was written by Pink Floyd and other avant-garde musicians. As a result, it is quite different from the traditional Pink Floyd atmosphere. The original title "Atom Heart Mother" was taken from the headline of a newspaper article at the time about a pregnant woman who had a pacemaker implanted in her heart and was surviving.
I first heard this in 1970 when I was 16. Mind blown, listened ever since. It only gets better. But how I wish I could go back and listen for the first time again!
Underrated track, even by the band themselves. The section starting with the cello leading up to the first guitar solo is just something else. I like how you'd never think this was Pink Floyd until you hear the drumming, in Mason's unmistakable style. And I particularly enjoy Wright's parts here - ever the band's unsung hero.

OMG, i loved reaction, This reaction is perfect. Congratulation.
You guys are the best reaction youtubers of music and songs I've ever come across. The guy in black tee shirt definitely definitely knows music and plays guitar. Thank you for sharing your genuine, music savvy reactions.
I always listen to this album under a tree on a summer day. I feel the sun and the breeze on my body, I'm calm, I'm focused, I'm in the Pink Floyd universe ... and I'm ready for the journey, again.
David Gilmour's guitar work is superb. Alternates scales on solos, between blues, jazz and classical. . The idea of conceptual disc was developed, and influenced other artists, as is the case of the band Yes. a misunderstood masterpiece
This album is a kind of sound transition in their carreer (1970). Not pure prog. A mix of psychedelic rock + space rock + folk + prog + avant garde + experimental + symphonic rock. And yes, they played this thing live at time. The last track (Allan's Psychedelic Breakfast) is another crazy and beautiful instrumental piece.
I discovered this gem many years after other most famous Floyd's tracks...and then I started to listen it in an infinite loop :-D ...I love also Summer '68 in the same album
Atom heart mother is one of my favorite albums and shows me that this when the Floyd were really starting to kind of find which way they should take the band and like you guys stated led into meddle which in itself was when they got the signature sound, anyways this whole song was a trip and you guys should honestly really consider watching their final performance at Live 8 when all 4 members reunited and put up (in my opinion) a damn near perfect show as queen did at live aid and gets me emotional every time I watch it rock on you guys!!!
There is a musician called Ron Geesin who is credited as being largely responsible for the composition and production of this great recording - Pink Floyd owe him for this one !! Thanks for the reaction guys !!
Geesin Is the One who wrotes down the orchestral parts (like on The Wall, orchestra and arrangements, and on "The Body"). You should try to listen to "the Amazing pudding" that is the live version of Atom H.M. performend only by the four Pink Floyd on stage.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun should be next. I'd check out the video version from the live at Pomeii movie. That movie is just great.. So trippy. One of These Days is another great video from that movie..
Pink Floyd recorded without the choir and whoever directed just filled in the spaces for it. Look Pink Floyd whether you like them or not lol knows each other and knows what needs to be done to groove
This Suite was born from a mass of tapes recorded by Pink Floyd in the spare time from the many concerts that they did at the time with great use of time for travel. The ensemble was "heavily" orchestrated by Ron Geesin (composer of avant-garde cultured music) and the choirs were handled by John Aldiss. Pink Floyd had very little time to devote to the production, but one thing is certain for me: the choice of brass, the basic choices of the choirs, a huge dose of the complicated interweaving of the central part are certainly "work" of Rick Wright who, besides being the only "musician for studies”, among the many instruments he knew he loved playing trumpet and trombone (as in some songs of other LPs) and he loved Stockhausen immeasurably ... as anyone who knows something beyond rock "feels" distinctly in many of the compositional passages. Thanks again to your ability to go "beyond" the usual four weird things 👏🏼
Thanks for the precious hints. Not hard to understand Wright's affinity to Stockhausen. I also find an influence of Hungarian experimental composer Ligeti in this suite.
@@pedrosousa5969 For me it has always been difficult to separate the influences on Rick from those on Ron Geesin (for various reasons "sole writer" of the scores) ... from those of the Country-Western on David who for me were even affected by the music of Ennio Morricone for "spaghetti western". However, even if both David and Roger later "disown" the value of this Suite, for me it was a fundamental stage in the musical evolution of P.F. … as well as the turning point which followed the progressive marginalization of the contributions of Richard's keyboards compared to the growing dominance of guitars.
@@Enrico.Sbardolini yes, the main theme has the western movies accords, i've always wandered why. That part is somehow a dated one, I mean, it's something from the 60s and 70s culture. But this experimental mix of symphonic, contemporary, rock and "western spagetti" is absolutely unique. Atom heart Mother was as fascitating in the 70s as it will be in the 2070s, I have no doubt about that. And this uniquenessapplies to many Pink Floyd works until "Animals".
at this moment, upon my oncologist’s advice, I’m flying high on medical gummie bears…..I’ve heard this song hundreds of times, much to my wife’s chagrin, but tonight, it sounds so very sweet on my EarPods
This album proves that this and only this band can transcend more than musicality into outer body art form, and do it more than just on one album. Masterful. Keep up the great reactions.
It's so interesting that you guys are reacting to this song! I think it really showcases their ability to compose great orchestral masterpieces. This mixed with psychedelic blues is what created albums like Animals or Dark side of the Moon.
"The Dark Side" is an old, experienced, lady, she knows all the tricks, she knows her craft. But, she also knows that here prime is over, there is no curiosity anymore, no hope, the subtle little things which nobody can explain, are gone. Before "The Dark Side" it was a virgin music, music that really tickles your imagination.
When Pink Floyd began in 1965 they were writing psychedelic pop songs like Small Faces 'Itchycoo Park' and Traffic's 'Hole in my Shoe' and as good as they were at that they reached a point, especially when Gilmour joined in 1967 when they decided to completely disengage with pop music and become a space band that identified with the London underground, and primarily targeted inner space as their theme. So Atom Heart Mother was created in that period. However they reached a time when they needed to re integrate good lyrical songs and developed melodic instrumental passages to get a bigger audience and get the income they needed to sustain their ever evolving creativity and so Meddle and Dark Side of the Moon where born. It's been a great journey and I enjoy all of it, but I understand how confusing it might be for younger people listening to different stages of their career. Well done lads..long live Pink Floyds music.
Your post is inaccurate. They were already a "space band" identified with the London underground in the Syd Barrett days, well before Gilmour joined. The pop songs were made for the radio, and the space jams were for live performance (at the UFO club, for example). Syd Barrett wrote their most famous space numbers, Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine, both of which are featured on their very first album. They continued the space themes for a while after Barrett had to quit the band and Gilmour joined, but soon transitioned to the more lyrical songs and soundscapes of which "Echoes" is the culmination. After Echoes, they then entered their more popular phase in '73 with a tighter, more commercial sound showcasing complex lyrics about alienation, madness and death. They stayed in that mode until the formula, and its domination by bassist-songwriter Roger Waters, led to tension in the band and its ultimate breakup in 1982. None of the records published thereafter under the name Pink Floyd are actually Pink Floyd. Without Roger Waters, they band lost its edge both lyrically and musically. Floyd without Waters would be like the Beatles without McCartney
Just imagine, if you will, how people felt/reacted when this song first came out. It was back when certain substances were VERY popular and used quite regularly. Now, listening to this song, or anything on this album to be honest, WHILE being on any one of those substances, must have been something to behold! Great song, from a band that has and will live in eternity in the halls of Great Bands. And your reactions were on point, as well as very entertaining. You know what thought struck me with this musical composition? This is what happens when you take EVERY musical style of EVERY movie genre, and mash them up into one single piece!
This could be used as audio on a spaceship travel or landing in a galaxy far away. Very sci- Fi like and years ahead of their time. The portions that music are discordant being background , and some areas in harmony, but much less than most of their tracks. The use of sympathy and then just straight up peculiar can represent the good of mankind vs the bad or confusing to the discordance out of harmony of mankind. With a choir of angels/ demons in background at times.
Another great reaction, Pink Floyd never disappoints. PS: If anyone lives in LA you must get tickets to attend the Pink Floyd Exhibition from August-Nov 2021, how I wish the Exhibition could be brought to Australia
I drove 300 miles in November 1971 to see Pink Floyd play in an old 2500 seat theatre. The sound quality was unbelievable, many speakers running up the wall and across. They started by playing Atom Heart Mother, after that they went into the whole Umma Gumma album, literally scaring people during this with unexpected light flashes along with volume turn ups. For the encore, they surprised us with a blues instrumental, David Gilmour looked up at the crowd and smiled as if saying,"surprised you with this one". It was the best concert of my life until March 1973 when I saw the Dark Side of the Moon tour in a 7500 seat auditorium, first time hearing that!
You should give Procul Harem, A whiter shade of pale live in Denmark 2006 and the 1967 version a listen you will not be disappointed... and for another timeless classic Moody Blues, Nights in white satin - the full version which is just called 'the night'. Gary Brooker and justin Haywood beautiful voices.
Yes! Definitely anything from the Moody Blues! Justin Hayward’s voice is one of the most distinctive in rock music history. It (“Days of Future Passed”) preceded Pink Floyd’s AHM by three years!!!
Pink Floyd worked with Ron Geesin on this one; he wrote all of the arrangements. With the limits of recording technology at the time (1970), coupled with the fact that none of Pink Floyd knew how to read music. it was incredibly difficult to record this song.
I agree with other comments, such an under-rated album. I remember all the bagging the band got over Fat Old Sun...way too folksy they said but Gilmour's guitar on that was as usual brilliant. His live renditions of the song are beyond brilliant though. I have to say I love the brotherly love between you two, and it reminds me of the connection I have with my 3 brothers (and sister). Music is a massive part of all our lives isn't it.
If you think this is experimental, listen to the "Ummagumma" album, specifically the studio portion (it's a double album, one live, one studio recordings). My first exposure to Pink Floyd was with that album as a teenager way back in 1970, followed shortly after with the Atom Heart Mother album (well, 8 track tape). My first listen for this song, I was driving on the highway, on a cloudy / hazy Minnesota winter afternoon, with snow drifting slowly across the road, and when the part of the song came on at 6:30 mark, I felt like I was stoned / in another world. I later acquired all of the other Floyd albums, there is no other band that can equal them.
Unbelievably, the band members don't like this. They saw it as a creative dead end, although I suspect they were also swayed by how difficult it was to play live. I completely disagree with them - I think it's great.
This masterpiece is 50 years old. It proves that Pink Floyd’s sound is absolutely timeless perfection. These guys unique sound was one century ahead of its time, and once you listen to it you become completely addicted to Pink Floyd.
This is the real pink floyd as their psychedelic start trip , 1st time I listened to this was on cassette , blew my mind ❤ marmalade I like marmalade 🤯
It takes a hardcore PinkFloyd fan to listen to Atom Heart Mother. Thanks guys!!!!

The portions that music are discordant being background , and some areas in harmony, but much less than most of their tracks. The use of sympathy and then just straight up peculiar can represent the good of mankind vs the bad or confusing to the discordance out of harmony of mankind. With a choir of angels/ demons in background at times.
Another great reaction, Pink Floyd never disappoints. PS: If anyone lives in LA you must get tickets to attend the Pink Floyd Exhibition from August-Nov 2021, how I wish the Exhibition could be brought to Australia
yeah - great reaction - thank you guys
I drove 300 miles in November 1971 to see Pink Floyd play in an old 2500 seat theatre. The sound quality was unbelievable, many speakers running up the wall and across. They started by playing Atom Heart Mother, after that they went into the whole Umma Gumma album, literally scaring people during this with unexpected light flashes along with volume turn ups. For the encore, they surprised us with a blues instrumental, David Gilmour looked up at the crowd and smiled as if saying,"surprised you with this one". It was the best concert of my life until March 1973 when I saw the Dark Side of the Moon tour in a 7500 seat auditorium, first time hearing that!
The '71 performance must have been a transcendent experience. I like that material much better than DSOTM.
Next video by Pink Floyd: Scream Thy Last Scream.
You should give Procul Harem, A whiter shade of pale live in Denmark 2006 and the 1967 version a listen you will not be disappointed... and for another timeless classic Moody Blues, Nights in white satin - the full version which is just called 'the night'. Gary Brooker and justin Haywood beautiful voices.
Yes! Definitely anything from the Moody Blues! Justin Hayward’s voice is one of the most distinctive in rock music history. It (“Days of Future Passed”) preceded Pink Floyd’s AHM by three years!!!
I listen to this while house cleaning, detailing the car, yard work. It makes the chores disappear.
Pink Floyd worked with Ron Geesin on this one; he wrote all of the arrangements. With the limits of recording technology at the time (1970), coupled with the fact that none of Pink Floyd knew how to read music. it was incredibly difficult to record this song.
Rick Wright knew how to read music. Geesin arranged the sequences, yes, but they were written mostly by the Floyd.
This is my fav pink floyd song now
The choir reminds me at times as the voices of the Russian Sailors singing in the movie Hunt for Red October.
Fearless Pink Floyd
I agree with other comments, such an under-rated album. I remember all the bagging the band got over Fat Old Sun...way too folksy they said but Gilmour's guitar on that was as usual brilliant. His live renditions of the song are beyond brilliant though. I have to say I love the brotherly love between you two, and it reminds me of the connection I have with my 3 brothers (and sister). Music is a massive part of all our lives isn't it.
I love the live rendition of Fat Old Sun it’s a great song & very much under rated
If you think this is experimental, listen to the "Ummagumma" album, specifically the studio portion (it's a double album, one live, one studio recordings). My first exposure to Pink Floyd was with that album as a teenager way back in 1970, followed shortly after with the Atom Heart Mother album (well, 8 track tape). My first listen for this song, I was driving on the highway, on a cloudy / hazy Minnesota winter afternoon, with snow drifting slowly across the road, and when the part of the song came on at 6:30 mark, I felt like I was stoned / in another world. I later acquired all of the other Floyd albums, there is no other band that can equal them.
This suite was included in the music classes program in France
It was a big risk in 1970 for a rock band to do music with a classic orchestra and choir. For our joy - they did it.
Every Broaction video:
"I am in space, man..."
You certainly are.
U need to hear some Saurceful of secrets stuff like Remember a day or Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
Unbelievably, the band members don't like this. They saw it as a creative dead end, although I suspect they were also swayed by how difficult it was to play live. I completely disagree with them - I think it's great.
They see it as an essential step towards Echoes.
I just love how much the guy on the right side enjoys and loves Pink Floyd
I forgot how awesome this song is! I love all of your Pink Floyd reactions, they are truly one of the greatest if not the greatest band to ever exist.
What I listen to when I just want to “zone out” Great album from 1970 ♥️
Nella foto dell'album c'è tutto il vero significato del testo. Pink Floyd eccezionali
Returning to Pink Floyd or Beatles is always a good decision. The Grantchester Meadows or the Julia Dream is the more silent side of PF.
Exploring risk in play has obvious benefits for development and learning love this album its a trip
Has anyone ever tried naming all of the albums on the wall behind them? Every time I look I seem to recognise something I didn't see before.
Never forget - the roots are in psychedellic rock
Hey .guys .! I love your sensibility...! Your réactions 💖😲
Have a bowl,and listen as u drift off to sleep,very nice !
Somehow this makes me think of Monty Python, Neil Innes, Bonzo Dog Doo Dah, and all those outrageous characters!
This masterpiece is 50 years old. It proves that Pink Floyd’s sound is absolutely timeless perfection. These guys unique sound was one century ahead of its time, and once you listen to it you become completely addicted to Pink Floyd.
When we are listening to pink Floyd
The first and only rule is silence 🤐
Pink Floyd are just genius, they will be played forever& I can’t understand why they didn’t like this, it’s brilliant ❤️🙏
maybe the best song of pink floyd with dogs
This is the real pink floyd as their psychedelic start trip , 1st time I listened to this was on cassette , blew my mind ❤ marmalade I like marmalade 🤯
The Greatest band ever..
IO AMO I PINK FLOYD
