There’s some good bits at the end, like the cello and drums combo.
What does this have to do with anything? That segment also is far too long. There’s even some sound effects, some of which sound like a building being demolished. It also wants to be more than it’s not, featuring an out-of-place choir that is jarring when put next to Floyd-esque sounds. There is the gaping issue that this thing just goes on forever. You can imagine those parts were written for something else. Throughout, the band gets little moments to shine, like David Gilmour’s slow solos. The main riff of the track is not bad, making for a nice catchy few seconds.
The opening of “Atom Heart Mother Suite” sounds like a theme to a superhero movie. A Saucerful of Secrets uses the episodic nature of Syd Barrett’s albums, More seems based in Barrett’s proclivity for the powerfully simple (which Barrett mainly explored in his solo career), Ummagumma is the big experimental epics, and in 1970 is this record that details some slightly folkier stuff and more composed epics (which ties to the many times when Syd picked up an acoustic guitar). Atom Heart Mother marks another change in direction for Pink Floyd.
