When, sometime in the early 1970s, PINK FLOYD began meeting in the rehearsal room to prepare their fifth studio album, it soon became clear that something unusual was being born. Specifically, one song, which gradually grew to more than twenty minutes, was to occupy the entire first page of the planned album and give the album the title "Atom Heart Mother". The song was created in a rather strange way - Floydi played it at concerts at an early stage to complete it naturally and fit well with the various avant-garde techniques that complemented the composition. But overall, something was still missing, so the band took an unusual approach and challenged music pioneer Ron Geesin to complete the project. He composed important orchestral passages for a musical epic, which was professionally called "The Amazing Pudding" or "Epic", which threw it all into the world of classical music and definitely made "Atom Heart Mother" one of the most important songs of PINK FLOYD. And also the most extensive - with a playing time of almost 24 minutes, it is the longest complete studio song by Floyd. Ron Geesin's "Atom Heart Mother" really helped, although the recording process was not without complications. It is said that there were significant problems with hired players of classical instruments who felt elevated above the rock environment and did not cooperate badly with them. The successful end was helped by choirmaster John Aldiss, who recorded the choir's voices for the song and allegedly helped catch up with the problematic classics. During the recording, the "dream team" met at all - in addition to the producers mentioned above, sat Norman Smith or studio technician Alan Parsons, who had worked on the iconic Beatles' Abbey Road the previous year and oversaw the creation of Floyd's "The Dark" mega-memorial for several years. later.

Storm Thorgerson from the Hipgnosis studio also got an interesting task from the band - to come up with a completely ordinary theme of the album cover, which would not correspond to the content of the album, but at the same time was significant among other records in stores. the previous year and oversaw the creation of Floyd's "The Dark" mega-memory a few years later.

Inspired by the ingenious madman Andy Warhol or his famous cow graphics, Storm set off with the camera for the city, where he immortalized the first dairy cow he saw. He then placed the image itself on the front cover and omitted all of the identification information, so that it really made a strange but unmistakable impression in the shop windows. Who knows, maybe this graphic moment also helped the success of the album and the fact that "Atom Heart Mother" reached the first place in the sales chart in Britain.
