In the guise of standard songs, Atom Heart Mother served up Roger Waters’ country classic, If, that would become his concert staple for years after that. In ways, this album was only a continuation of Ummagumma, the previous album, with its incorporation of song suites and standard songs on opposite sides. And that was a beautiful change you realize midway through the song suite on the first side what a brand new trip this would’ve been for the kids in 1970. They could’ve called it ‘Landmark’ too, because it happened be the first quadraphonic Pink Floyd release. Before the music could mystify, the naming of the album itself was subjected to myths, the most popular being that Roger Water’s named it off a headline from the 16th July edition of Evening Standard. 41 years ago, Pink Floyd released their fourth studio album, Atom Heart Mother.
