Format:Audio CD
This album is completely crackers, using as it does the sounds of various bodily functions as its raw material. Waters recorded this album with his good mate and golfing partner, Ron Geesin, who also worked with Pink Floyd on Atom Heart Mother. The two obviously got along well and they can be heard doing their best not to burst into laughter on at least one track. Waters' style that was to come to the fore on Dark Side of the Moon can be heard developing here and for this reason alone, any diehard fan should not be without it. Not to be taken too seriously, this album is great for a Sunday morning recovering from a heavy or particularly strange Saturday night. The closing track Give Birth to a Smile is a truly lovely way to finish what has to be one of the most experimental albums ever allowed out to the wider world.

The soundtrack from the film The Body far outstrips the film itself, which is disjointed and uncertain in its aims. Was it a scientific study, a piece of erotic art, or simply a musical self-indulgence by Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and eccentric musical genius Ron Geesin, both of whom collaborated on the Floyd's memorable Umma Gumma album.
Although some of the themes date back to a demo track by the Pink Floyd called 'Embryo' (which featured on Harvest's Picnic' sampler album), similarities to Umma Gumma are surprising unless you are familiar with Floyd chronology and the experimental approach taken on the Floyd's studio album. The underlying humour in this highly experimental soundtrack is evident in the opening track, 'Our Song', which is composed out of what are best described as 'body noises'! 'Sea Shell and Stone', the touching 'Chain of Life' and 'Breathe' are classic Waters acoustic fare, with strong environmental themes that would not be out of place today. One senses that the titles for the numbers were hatched during, shall we say, a 'drinking session' and include such memorable titles as 'Lick your partners', 'More than seven dwarfs in Penis-Land' and 'Piddle in Perspex'. Can you imagine requesting one of these on Desert Island Discs?
Geesin's genius pervades this album and his brilliantly inspired piano, mandolin and electric guitar playing are at the same time both haunting and avant garde, especially 'Old folks ascension' and 'A gentle breeze blew through life'. The album closes with my least favourite number, the gospel inspired 'Give birth to a Smile'. This is nevertheless an important addition to the music library of any true Pink Floyd collectors. Check out clips from the film accompanied by the music on YouTube.

Most of this album is plain bonkers, some of it unlistenable. But if you're a hardcore Floyd fan, worth a purchase for the final track on the album 'Give Birth To A Smile' - featuring an uncredited Pink Floyd, and its a little corker.

A dissonant Tubular Bells?
I tend to think of this album as a dissonant 'Tubular Bells'. Of course this preceeded Mike Oldfield's classic by several years. Read more
