PINK FLOYD UMMAGUMMA FULL ALBUM STREAM DOWNLOAD

If itвЂ™s sheer psychedelia youвЂ™re after, look no further than Ummagumma.

ItвЂ™s not an easy listen, but then itвЂ™s not trying to be. There are nice moments and odd good bits but as an album itвЂ™s pretty fragmentedвЂ¦ вЂќ. In an interview, Nick Mason commented вЂњ in hindsight, it rather proves that we were better when we worked together than when we worked as individuals. Initially viewed as a success, the group look back on this record as вЂњpretentiousвЂќ. For the album closer, The Grand VizierвЂ™s Garden Party by Nick Mason starts off as an introductory flute piece (played by his wife) before galloping head-first into a looping frenzy of beats and distortions. When David Gilmour takes the reins for The Narrow Way weвЂ™re treated to a meandering stream of vocals, guitar strums and solos that flow neither this way nor that. Roger WatersвЂ™ Grantchester Meadows and Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict contains bird songs and warped voice samples played both forwards and backwards at varying speeds, crafting a lyrical world thatвЂ™s peaceful and unnerving in equal measure. The four-part Sysyphus by Nick Wright is intense and progressive, packed with an array of synths, organs and pianos. The band membersвЂ™ rotating positions on the album cover (designed by their long-term collaborators Hipgnosis) give you a clue as to whatвЂ™s in store: each artist had half an album side to compose their own work without any input from the others. By the time Nick WrightвЂ™s ominous piano opens the curtain on the second disc, itвЂ™s clear the mood has changed from spaced-out jams to a kind of freaky folk opera. The sound is raw and crude, offering a glimpse of Pink FloydвЂ™s early days on stage. The first discвЂ™s purely instrumental concerts stem from BirminghamвЂ™s Mothers Club and ManchesterвЂ™s College of Commerce and were recorded earlier that year. Released on 7 th November, 1969, Pink FloydвЂ™s fourth album Ummagumma is a disorienting head trip of an album: one part live recordings, the other a bizarre, psychedelic and rather cinematic collection of solo experiments.
