![]() ![]() Kubrick's eldest daughter, Katharina, does not rule out altogether the possibility, as her answer during a recent Q&A session on Reddit suggests: I don't remember, if I ever knew, I would have forgot. Interviewer: I heard a rumor that Kubrick was originally thinking of putting Pink Floyd as the soundtrack? ![]() Jan Harlan, Kubrick's brother-in-law and music expert, started working with him when the director was choosing the soundtrack for 2001, in mid-1967. Kubrick's musical choices for 2001, there is no mention of any contact whatsoever between Pink Floyd and the director also, the Floyd do not appear in any of the papers held in The Kubrick Archive in London. (articles, essays, books) written in the last two decades about How likely is such a thing to have ever happened? It was a cool experiment, but pretty much everything else they did was better.The most unlikely rumor regarding 2001 and Pink Floyd regards the purported request made by Kubrick to the band to write the soundtrack for the movie according to other versions of the myth, the Floyds themselves asked to score the movie, but the director refused. Given that, Atom Heart Mother is my 6th favorite Floyd record while Ummagumma ranks dead last. ![]() I usually don’t count the live album as part of Ummagumma when comparing them, it’s not really fair since we’re usually talking about studio material in these. Summer ‘68 and Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast aren’t bad either. AHM has a similar take, letting each of (except Mason) the members kinda take charge of a song, only here they are all actually listenable songs. some of that stuff is barely recognizable as music. I absolutely love each of the live performances included, but the AHM suite is one of my favorite Pink Floyd pieces, almost as good as Echoes imo. The live half of Ummagumma vs the Atom Heart Mother suite is tough. Well, half by half is a pretty interesting comparison. ![]()
