More Information
Gilmour revealed on Johnnie Walker's Radio 2 drivetime show in 2004 that he had made a case for this song to be included on the Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001) compilation. However, he was out-voted and the album Atom Heart Mother goes unrepresented on this album. "Fat Old Sun" is perhaps best described as a pastoral, a hymn of praise to the countryside (as several early Pink Floyd songs were, such as "Grantchester Meadows" from Ummagumma and "Green Is the Colour" from More).
