Founded in 1965, the group achieved worldwide acclaim with their innovative psychedelic music and later became known for their progressive rock sound.With philosophical lyrics, musical experimentation, and elaborate live shows, Pink Floyd remains one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in popular music history.The band consisted of David Gilmour on guitar and vocals, Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals, Nick Mason on drums and percussion, Roger Waters on bass guitar and vocals, and Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals during their early years. They were also joined by other talented musicians throughout their career.

Pink Floyd Records is a label that has been used for reissuing Pink Floyd's music since 2016.

Pink Floyd's first UK number 1 album was released in 1970. This was the band's first recording with an orchestra, the title track 'The Atom Heart Mother Suite' taking up a full side of the original vinyl release. In the grand, colour-bending tradition of psychedelic experimentalism, Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' takes as its title an inscrutable phrase and under the title launches a similarly inscrutable - or at least dense - musical concatenation. The title suite features French-horn-led brass melodies riffed on by David Gilmour's guitar and the rhythm section, all of which veers into choral passages that recall Gyorgy Ligeti's vocal works and then almost atonal pulses of keyboards that mask reams of audio snippets swirling underneath. There's some moody folk from Roger Waters, an almost Kinks-ish rambler from Richard Wright, then more moody folk (this time from Gilmour) on 'Fat Old Sun' and, to close, the spirited melodic runaround of 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast'. Pink Floyd offers a range of emotion here, from doleful to crazed to humorous (especially the dramatised comments on macrobiotics in the closer). 'Atom Heart Mother' was a spotlight ahead for Pink Floyd, showing the extensions of form the band would engage in so successfully on 'Dark Side of the Moon' just a few short years later. CD - The new discovery version presents the original studio album, digitally remastered by James Guthrie and reissued with newly designed Digipak and a new 12 page booklet designed by Storm Thorgerson. LP - 180 Gram Vinyl - Stereo Remastered in Gatefold Sleeve.
