This piece, included on Atom Heart Mother, the classic album by the British rock band Pink Floyd, portrays a one-night encounter and the emotions that follow.

Pink Floyd – Astronomy Domine (Official Audio)

The origin of the British rock band Pink Floyd—and a brilliant milestone in the history of psychedelic rock—is their 1967 debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

It’s known as the only studio album where the genius of founding member Syd Barrett truly exploded.

There’s also the famous anecdote that, at the time, the Beatles were recording in the studio next door at Abbey Road.

With experimental sounds that make full use of tape loops and echo, the album draws listeners into a fantastical sonic labyrinth.

This one-of-a-kind worldview is said to have opened the doors to progressive rock.

It’s a truly magical record that lets you relive the moment when rock history made a great leap forward.
