More about the Atom Heart Mother SuiteGilmour was the one who wrote the main theme for the Atom Heart Mother Suite. He named it 'Theme From an Imaginary Western' at the time because it resembled Elmer Bernstein's scores in westerns such as "The Magnificent Seven." Waters was intrigued by Gilmour's piece because it reminded him of "horses silhouetted against the sunset." The suite was first played on January 18, 1970 at Croydon Town Hall as an 18 minute under-construction piece temporarily named 'The Amazing Pudding.' They called it this because it was a sort of pudding of each band member's ideas mixed together. At the end of February 1970, they began recording the suite at Abbey Road, Studio 3. It was not ready for release until late April.February 15th, 1999
More about the concert in the belgian schoolAs part of the city carnival, students of the Rij-School organized an all-night event, featuring, among others, Pink Floyd and The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown. Within the next 24 hours, the Floyd were in Antwerp, Belgium at the Pannenhuis, packed with 400 people, twice the amount it could otherwise hold comfortably. A mind expanding experience, the concert on the 23rd of February also included the Mike Stuart Span. For two hours, everything was perfectly enhanced by a primitive "sensual laboratory," created with light and color explosions (like volcano eruptions) in sync with the psychedelic music being played on stage. The Floyd were concentrated on arousing the audience, not on the accuracy of their masterpieces, sometimes even leaving an entire song's lyrics out. The show was proof that "total communication through light and sound" was an achievable feat.February 22nd, 1999 |
