![]() ![]() The long out-of-print original 4.0 quadraphonic mix of Atom Heart Mother is included on DEVI/ATION's DVD (in Dolby Digital and DTS) and Blu-ray (in 96/24 DTS Master Audio), and the additional dimension in sound is ideal to experience the title track's hypnotic pull as it shifts in tone - alternately stately, rocking, and haunting. The second disc featured three shorter songs (one each composed by Waters, Gilmour, and Wright) and one 13-minute three-part instrumental written by the band. Composed by the bandmates and collaborator Ron Geesin, the largely instrumental (with some wordless vocals) "Atom Heart Mother" melded classical and progressive rock as it comprised six individual movements and took up nearly 24 minutes of the LP. A widescreen cinematic approach was most in evidence on the sprawling six-part suite that filled Side One of the original album. Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright started crafting the LP following their work on director Michelangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point. (Note that the original albums proper are not included in their standard presentations.)ฤก970 DEVI/ATION focuses on the period surrounding that year's release of the group's fifth studio album, Atom Heart Mother. Each release is stuffed with what would typically be considered bonus material: outtakes, live performances, rarities, demos, remixes, and more. Now, Pink Floyd Records and Sony have released six of that giant collection's seven components into individual book-style releases (one remains exclusive to The Early Years) each focusing on a particular year or years: 1965-1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, and 1972. Last year's massive box set The Early Yearstraced the evolution of the Floyd up through DSOTM through CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, vinyl singles, and printed memorabilia reproductions. But in reality, that classic was the culmination of roughly eight years of musical experimentation. For some fans, Pink Floyd begins with Dark Side of the Moon, the band's 1973 opus. ![]()
