Hello musicians,
Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' ends with two repetitions
of the main theme, with full choir, brass and everything.
The bass is:
E G F C, E G F C, E G A B, E G F# ?????, E G F C etc.
That is called a tritonus substitution.
G - F would resolve to C here, as it does first (or to Bb, ..)
but instead the F# is used.
This technique is being used for re-harmonisation as well.
