and.what was that LP that had all their instruments arranged for the

The album was "umma gumma"...inside jacket photo.

I'll have to pull that album and check it out...

I recall during the Viet Nam war we used to see photos of USAF fighter jets with all the armaments laid out on the tarmac in neat rows in front of the aircraft...the napalm bombs, snakeye bombs, cluster bombs, missiles - right down to the cannon and machine gun belt ammo in diagonal rows.

The Floyds photo of the musical arsenal was almost a counter statement in it's own way..............

Funky Dung?  I've been playing the Atom Heart Mother CD in the car
this week.  My family hates it.  They do like the track "Summer 68" by
Wright.  My 15 year old says "It sounds like The Beach Boys."  Good ear.

It's on the bit after the 'first finale'; they never knew when to stop. 
I think it's Strings and Mk II brass, pretty much randomly battered by 
Wright.

What's not to like about the cello parts on side one? It modulates 
perfectly.

Summer 68 has been a favourite of mine since the day I heard it in 1978. 
Some /great/ chord changes on the brass interlude.

Some randomly battered tron flute (reversed) in there too.  Nothing
like  *a little* chaos.
