 BEST of The 3 "Songs" on ATOM HEART MOTHER Of the 3 lyrical songs on ATOM HEART MOTHER: "If" "Summer 68" and "Fat Old Sun", which one is the best? For some reason, Rick's "Summer 68" seems to speak to me the most. Fantastic dynamics and arrangments. Classic Dave and Rick vocals. Best vocals on the album although I think they could be better. But I love the part with the horns. Seems to be a sort of feel-good song until the end when it's all over. Great piano work as well. "Fat Old Sun" has some fantastic guitar work by Dave, but the song itself seems to be missing something, but the beauty of the song leads perfectly into the heart-wrenching guitar solo. "If" is my least favorite. It's a nice tune, but just too soft. What do you think?

| Re: BEST of The 3 "Songs" on ATOM HEART MOTHER Fat Old Sun is clearly the best tune on the album, but I love certain parts of Atom Heart Mother the symphony. |

| Re: BEST of The 3 "Songs" on ATOM HEART MOTHER I find Fat Old Sun a tad dull. IF is creepy, but dull. Summer '68 is great.

That one is awesome. The instrumental improvisations by Dave and Rick were mind-blowing, as was the whole Pink Floyd show circa 1970-71. I wish we had an official live recording from that era including FOS, Embryo and AHM without orchestra. For me it's a tie with Rick's Summer 68. (If is a great song too anyway.)

| Re: BEST of The 3 "Songs" on ATOM HEART MOTHER Fat Old Sun and Embryo from that concert era from beginnig of '70 are awesome (imho, much better than studio versions, especially when speaking about embryo)
