The track features Pink Floyd playing in the background as Alan Stiles (a Pink Floyd roadie, who appeared on the back cover of Ummagumma) speaks about the breakfast he is preparing and eating, as well as breakfasts he has had in the past ("Breakfast in Los Angeles. Macrobiotic stuff..."). There are significant breaks before the first and in between all three instrumental parts where only Alan's muttering and movements, with occasional exterior background noise, are heard. Much of Alan's speech is overdubbed throughout the piece in gradually fading echoes e.g. "Macrobiotic stuff" is repeated every couple of seconds, more quietly each time. It was performed live three times in the UK during the winter of 1970.

  • fantastic indeed

  • It's Styles, not Stiles.

  • He's really enjoying that cereal

  • great indeed

  • great stuff

  • most relaxing tune of theirs

  • Part 3, Morning Glory, is one of the finest compositions of Pink Floyd. Just by listening to that part, you can hear in the music that Pink Floyd was ready to move on to sheer greatness,

  • RIP Alan.
