First of all it is most likely a long theme (23 minutes) to a non-existent Western film, but the part of "Mind Your Throats, Please" -- could be the representation of the Underground in London... Take note that at the end you may hear something moving along rails, but it then becomes faint... Otherwise, the rest of it is kinda indeterminate, with no real mention of what part goes where.

it is a great song.....ittakes a lot of mental toughness to be able to sit for almost half an hour and listen to it, but it is a really good song...there are different parts in the song where the instruments blend together perfectly

Atom Heart Mother: The album title looks as if it entrusts a free association to listeners. As for me, I think that it is three element of all things - atom as the physical world and phenomenon, heart as the metaphysical world and consciousness, and mother as energy to produce everything. I feel they aimed at a variety of scenes that may be conjured up in the listener's mind. What I was conjured up in my mind is Gaia hypothesis.

this song sucks, as does the album; give me "piper" "meddle", "animals"; f*ck it any other album even resembling Floyd over this crapola. ZERO

Some nice theories, but the song does not have any meaning whatsoever (According to the Pink Floyd members themselves). The song's main motive started as a "theme to a non-existent western" written as no more than a joke. Add in some jam sessions, choir parts, and orchestration by Ron Geesin and you have the song. The title was actually taken from a random newspaper article (about a mother with an atomic pacemaker) because it sounded good.

This is an absolutely amazing song on a very good album by the same title. A mix of multiple different music genres (I'm not a music genious, so I don't know them all, but psychadelic and prog rock are definitely there). Among my top 4 instrumentals of all time: 1Lucifer- Alan Parsons Project 2One of These Days- Pink Floyd 3Careful With That Axe, Eugene-Pink Floyd 4Atom Heart Mother Suite- Pink Floyd

turn up your headphones at 18:40. tell me what you hear because i heard DMT 3 times clearly (mind your throats please) anyone because if youve ever smoked it it feels like glass shards,and some might say you emerge when you come down because it feels like dying or being drowned. as for the rest im sure the whole mushroom theory drug thing some assume behind this album is probably correct, maybe thats y they didnt like this album

The director of "A Clock Work Orange" acually wanted to use this song in the movie. He asked them but Pink Floyd turned him down. But would later regret it.

This song is actually called "Atom Heart Mother Suite". Not "Atom Heart Mother".

The title was taken simply from a newspaper article about a woman who had an atomic powered pacemaker. Publius.
