Ummagumma (a Rick Wright idea)
What's your opinion on Ummagumma. It was one of the few Rick Wright's ideas and many fans or even band members think of ita as an absolute disster. For some other funs, including myself, it was a very interesting experiment which revealed the capabilities of each member.

I love Ummagumma, it's one of my favourite Floyd albums. The live disc features some of the best live versions of their classic spacerock/psychedelic stuff, and the studio side is a fascinating journey, to me anyway. IMO, each of the member's solo contributions are unique and different from the other's, yet the whole thing works well as a varied yet cohesive pyschedelic oddessy. Ummagumma was actually quite a popular release as far as pre-DSOTM albums go, and was very influential on the fledgling Krautrock movement in Germany as well.

that would be PATGOD...Yucateco wrote:worst album the floyd ever made....
really though, i like a track or 2 off it but would much rather listen to the more "popular" albums. i bought the remaster or something a few years ago and might have listed to it 2-3 times, never in full becouse it gets too old too quick for me. but then again i prefer 1970-77 era floyd over anything else
