Legacy

Pink Floyd were an English rock band from London. Founded in 1965, the group achieved worldwide acclaim with their innovative psychedelic music and later became known for their progressive rock sound.With philosophical lyrics, musical experimentation, and elaborate live shows, Pink Floyd remains one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in popular music history.The band consisted of David Gilmour on guitar and vocals, Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals, Nick Mason on drums and percussion, Roger Waters on bass guitar and vocals, and Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals during their early years. They were also joined by other talented musicians throughout their career.

'ummagumma' features a set of live performances on disc 1 and a collection of solo studio projects by various band members on disc 2. disc 1 was recorded live at mothers, birmingham, england. the party-liners may favour 'dark side of the moon', but diehard space cadets recognize 'ummagumma' as the pinnacle of post-barrett floyd's achievement. originally released as a double lp, the first record is a live recording from 1969, while the second features four extended cuts written by (and featuring) each of the four band members in turn. eschewing the catchy, kinks-influenced pop kaleidoscope of the band's first album, the live portion focuses on extended, spacy near-instrumentals, heavy on acid-fueled jamming and atmospheric electronic textures. from the eastern-tinged 'set the controls for the heart of the sun' to the over-the-top psychosis of 'careful with that axe, eugene,' 'ummagumma's first half is ground zero for the genre that would come to be known as space rock. the solo efforts on the second half are undoubtedly the band's most experimental, unconventional efforts ever. they make good use of the avant-garde techniques that were a key early influence, like musique concrete-style tape collage and sound effects. along the way, there's some lovely folk-tinged balladry, courtesy of roger waters ('grantchester meadows'), and some proto-prog keyboard wizardry (richard wright's multi-part 'sysyphus').
