![]() ![]() Soon some trouble occured about the sleeve pictures. The recordings for their first LP started early 1972 in Milan and they finally renamed to ANALOGY corresponding to the title of their most important song. At the end of the year Rattaggi had to join the army and left the band. Their first release was the Single "Sold out/God‘s own land", two songs written by Thurn. ![]() During a festival in Arona a spontanous collaboration happened with keyboarder Nikola Pankoff whilst playing a free interpretation of Pink Floyd's "Atom heart mother". After a lot of gigs in the south of Swiss and North Italy they were able to buy some professional equipment and in 1971 JOICE got a contract with an italian label. Renamed to The Joice (due to a misprint later YOICE) the band went on in 1970 with drummer Hermann-Jürgen Nienhaus (brother of Jutta) and Mauro Rattaggi (bass), the only italian member of the band. Other members were Wolfgang Schoene, Thomas Schmidt (later PELL MELL) and Jutta Nienhaus. ![]() In 1968 german Martin Thurn (guitar) went to an international school in Varese (North Italy) where he founded a band named SONS OF GIOVE. A progressive metal band from El Salvadorġ. In its vast obscurity and abstract genius, Atom Heart Mother is what you could easily call a rock masterpiece.There are at least two artists with this nameĢ. The closing track, 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast', is a three-part twelve-minute song with interludes of a Pink Floyd crew-member eating his breakfast. The second half holds four relatively shorter songs, starting with the folky 'If', the very unlike Pink Floyd 'Summer '68' (the majority, at least), and the mostly acoustic 'Fat Old Sun'. Fusing progressive and classical elements, the first side of Atom Heart Mother was and still is a strong track in Floyd's discography. But, continuing to follow their wildly experimental ways, they had inserted an eponymic, six-part twenty-four-minute instrumental epic into the first side. Being their first studio album (not counting 'Ummagumma') entirely without Barrett, they were still finding themselves as a band who lost their guitarist. While early Pink Floyd is often shunned for being too experimental and/or 'not Pink Floyd', the 1970 LP 'Atom Heart Mother' is when the band finally found their balance. ![]()
