When performing the number in concert, the band allowed the smells of real cooking eggs and bacon to permeate the audience. The realistically irritating sounds of a fellow cooking his breakfast act as a segue between the three parts. The group recorded the framework of the 23-minute-plus number, and then left it in the hands of Ron Geesin to add orchestrations, choirs and such, while Floyd toured America.Ī good portion of side two consists of "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast," a nearly 14-minute, three-part song cycle, named after Floyd roadie Alan Stiles. Side one of "Atom Heart Mother" is composed solely of the title track, which began its life as "The Amazing Pudding," a working title that would later become the name of a now-defunct Floyd fanzine.
