'Atom Heart Mother' is a six-part suite by the progressive rock band Pink Floyd, composed by all members of the band and Ron Geesin. The title came from a random story found in the Evening Standard with the headline ‘Atom Heart Mother Named’, about a woman who had been given a plutonium pacemaker. Alongside unpublished photographs from the Abbey Road recording sessions (the only ones taken) and the subsequent performances in London and Paris, Geesin goes on to describe how the title was chosen, why he was not credited on the record, how he left Hyde Park in tears, and why the group did not much like the work.
