Pink Floyd’s epic masterpiece in an out-of-this-world cover, by the Japanese cover band GENSHI SHINBO.
【Live】原始神母2016「Atom Heart Mother」(pinkfloyd tribute)@161027Chicken George
Theme from an Imaginary Western. Progressive symphonic perfection. Such is the transcendence, that the band has been now criticizing this piece of their work, many years after its release.
Inspired by a pregnant woman who had been fitted with a heart peacemaker, Atom Heart Mother provokes the subject of sapiens-made devices enabling the —still?— unexplained miracle of this world: life, soul, consciousness.

Silence in the studio!
Apart from the two lyrics in English, all other are spoken out of authentic exclamation for the duality of our nature in the cosmos; thus the absence of any specific language, and the presence of the universe-al one.
From animals and early humans stems the intrinsic notion of survival; eat, live. However, starting with societies of just 3 millennia ago, we concern our minds with questions such as humanity’s purpose, or the will of the gods. Our lives are drawn between the edges of “wake up, eat, sleep” and “commit suicide because you have no purpose”. These are the reflections of the aforementioned duality, and Atom Heart Mother, an ode to this absurdity that perpetuates our lives ad infinitum, achieves something nobody else has achieved: the musical manifestation of humanity’s desired cosmic balance.
Fuckin’ A.
