No. 340: Roger Waters & Ron Geesin - "Music from The Body" (1970)

This is an interesting curio: a soundtrack to a 1970 human biology documentary featuring music by Pink Floyd's Roger Waters in collaboration with quirky Scottish composer & orchestrator Ron Geesin. This is a record full of creative string arrangements, avant-garde experiments and "biomusic": sounds made by a living body.
If it sounds weird, well it is, however if you like the sounds of burps, farts, clapping, breathing, whispering and screaming then this album is for you! And with song titles such as "Mrs. Throat Goes Walking" and "More Than Seven Dwarfs in Penis-land" you know it gonna be worth listening to...
Waters contributes the only vocal numbers - the delicate guitar pieces "Sea Shell And Stone" and "Breathe" (the opening line of which - "Breathe in the air" - would be used as the opening line to Dark Side Of The Moon over three years later), and even gets the remaining members of Pink Floyd in to back him for the album's closer, "Give Birth To A Smile".
Geesin went on to collaborate with Pink Floyd on 1970's Atom Heart Mother, with decidedly mixed results, but this joint-effort with Waters was far more interesting.
Did I mention it has farts??! Yeah!!!
