The band then enters with the brass continuing, before the music calms down. Being reprised several times, this part may be seen as the main theme of the piece. This section, as well as the next two sections, are in the key of.Breast Milky (2:50–5:23) (Wright, Geesin, Mason, Gilmour)After this, a solo begins, accompanied by and, with joining later. This is followed by a double-tracked slide guitar solo. The choir soon joins in at the end of this section.Mother Fore (5:23–10:13) (Gilmour, Wright, Geesin, Waters)Picking up directly after the last note of the guitar solo, the organ (with quiet bass and drums) takes over for a five-minute sequence, playing chords based on E-minor, gradually joined by soprano voices and then a.

It contains a second, much bluesier guitar solo. With the introduction of a sustained note on a, and grand piano, this section changes into a section by the choir. The song then changes key back to E minor, slowly building to a reprise of the main theme from 'Father's Shout'.Mind Your Throats Please (15:28–17:56) (Wright, Gilmour, Mason, Waters)The 'noise' piece in the song, divided in two parts:Part one (15:28–16:42) is composed mainly of electronic noises. Furthermore, it is the only section on this album to feature the; Wright uses the '3 Violins' and 'Flute' registration in order to create the dissonant chord clusters throughout this sound collage. A voice says 'Here is a loud announcement!' About 10 seconds before the next part starts.
This section ends with a sound effect from the EMI archive of a steam train passing.Part two (16:42–17:56) uses various instruments in and out, many of which are recognizable from earlier in the suite, and also features a used on a piano, an effect that is used again in '. The same brass part that opens the song is heard over this section, culminating with 's distorted voice shouting, 'Silence in the studio!' Before exploding into the next section.Remergence (17:56–23:44) (Gilmour, Geesin, Wright)This part begins with a reprise of the Father's Shout main theme, which then quietens into an abridged reprise of the Breast Milky cello solo, followed by a double layered guitar section reminiscent of the first slide solo. This all leads into a climactic final reprise of the Father's Shout theme with the entire brass section and choir, ending with a very long resolve to from the choir and brass.Alternative section divisionsVinyl and most CD editions of the album do not split the suite into physical tracks, and the matching of titles to sections as shown above is not universally accepted.
One of the CD editions on EMI has different track divisions as shown below, but this has not been proven to be officially sanctioned, and other divisions have been proposed as well. Father's Shout (00:00–05:20). Breast Milky (5:21–10:09).
Mother Fore (10:10–15:26). Funky Dung (15:27–17:44). Mind Your Throats Please (17:45–19:49).
Remergence (19:49–23:39)Working titles The working title for this piece changed a few times during the composing and recording process. When the first main theme was composed, David Gilmour called it 'Theme from an Imaginary Western'. The first working title for the six-part piece was 'Epic', written in Ron Geesin's handwriting at the top of his original score. The work was introduced at the 27–28 June 1970 as 'The Amazing Pudding'.In July 1970 Ron Geesin pointed Roger Waters to the 16 July 1970 edition of the and told him that he would find the song title in the newspaper. Waters saw an article about a pregnant woman who had been fitted with a heart pacemaker.
The headline was 'Atom Heart Mother Named'. Other appearances An edited version of this song was considered for the album, but did not make the final track listing. Several live recordings and early versions of the track appear in the box set, in audio and video formats.Reception While the band themselves have expressed negative opinions of the album in recent memory, others, like Irving Tan of Sputnik Music enjoyed the track. Tan has described the suite as 'an incredibly focused and well-written piece of lounge music – despite the band's claims to the contrary'.
