Not shocking, not mind altering, just unexpected. 'I wanted to design a non-cover, something that was not like other covers, particularly not like other rock or psychedelic covers something that one would simply not expect. Storm Thorgerson took the picture using only two rolls of 120 film in the first field he came to driving north out of London. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond. It was the first Pink Floyd cover not to feature the band's name on the cover, nor to contain any photographs of the band anywhere. This striking print celebrates Atom Heart Mother, a big breakthrough for Pink Floyd who, in 1970 managed to get to No.1 with one of the world's most progressive psychedelic albums featuring neither title nor band photo on the front just a cow. But, as a whole it’s awful schmaltzy and a little vapid.The Atom Heart Mother limited edition print was one of the very first selection of Pink Floyd album cover designs to be revisited and re-envisaged as an art print by Storm Thorgerson at the very beginning of this century. And, there are sounds that draw pictures. As Impressionism, it’s occasionally effective, but on a very imitative level. It turns out to be an Impressionist orchestral sketch of (I think) a morning that includes some rock elements. The best that can be said for it is that it’s craftsman-like and that in spite of its many parts, it’s an entity. They use orchestral elements and a choir. Their last album, Ummagumma, while a bit drawn-out, had all their best elements.Ītom Heart Mother is a step headlong into the last century and a dissipation of their collective talents, which are considerable. Pink Floyd used sounds no one else thought of and could make them lyrical besides. Most other groups, when they thought in terms of electronics, thought only of painful feedback. And their music, if it wasn’t memorable, reached into the limits of their experimentation. Their use of a third, rear, sound source anticipated quadraphonics. Their work in the electronic capabilities of rock was more advanced than most people recognize. At one time, Pink Floyd was far-out, freaky even.
