Pink Tones Performs The Atom Heart Mother Suite

  I found this to be brilliant and a wonderful recreation of Pink Floyd’s 1970 masterpiece, The Atom Heart Mother Suite from the album Atom Heart Mother. Pink Tones, a Spanish Floyd tribute has truly done this justice and also by performing it in an amphitheatre in Spain. Crystal clear and spectacularly filmed. I watched…

Australian Prog Band, Myriad – Quietude Album Review
