Another section has some very interesting nonsensical, tribal-like chanting going on in it otherwise there are no words spoken or sung in the entire song. Not to mention some sweet organ work by Rick Wright. One of my favorite parts is a funky jam around the 11 minute mark that has some great soloing by Dave Gilmour and an awesome bass line. The song's main theme is a catchy melody played by a bunch of horns. Basically, it's divided into many different parts, some sounding extremely different than the others.

Just about a year later they would release the superb Meddle album, and in only three years, the stunningly amazing Dark Side of the Moon. At the time of it's release in 1970, Pink Floyd were inching closer to musical perfection. Ron Geesin was not a permenant member of the band but he contributed a lot of horn parts on this album.Ītom Heart Mother a very underrated album in the Pink Floyd cannon, and it deserves to be noticed.
