The song was the last Pink Floyd composition which was credited as being co-written by someone outside the band prior to 1979 (not counting Clare Torry's contribution to "The Great Gig in the Sky", for which she has been retroactively given credit due to a settlement with Pink Floyd). Recording began with the drum and bass parts, recorded in one take for the entire suite, resulting in an inconsistent tempo throughout the song. It is Pink Floyd's longest uncut piece (the later "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", though longer, was split among two sides of Wish You Were Here.) Pink Floyd performed it live between 19, first touring with a brass section and choir, and later without. It appeared on the Atom Heart Mother album in 1970, taking up a whole side of the record. "Atom Heart Mother" is a six-part suite by progressive rock band Pink Floyd, composed by all members of the band and Ron Geesin.
