Welcome to

Pink Floyd   UMMAGUMMA 1969 LP Vinyl Record Album Vintage and Original Sealed Never Opened  Unopened   Ummaguma is a slang term in England for having sex.  It is said the band was being pushed so fast and hard to get the album released, they were often heard using the word F- - K.  Hence the lp title.   A song like Richard Wright's "Sysyphus", for example, is a voyage through musical experimentation. The content of "Sysyphus", like most of the album, is a test. An experiment to simply see how far they can push the limits of traditional musical orchestration. Music is an artform. And just like other artforms, it has to be bold and it has to stand out so it can captivate attention. And in order to do that, the artist has to take risks. And that's the purpose behind this album. Ummagumma is a question within itself, "What is "music"? And what defines what "music" is?" This is a challenging album because the content requires a real commitment from the listener to truly grasp the meaning of this album. And the meaning is, that it has no meaning. Art has no meaning. It exists as a challenge for the artist to stimulate their creativity and produce something worthwhile that is derived from the body, mind, and soul of the artist. Art is expressionistic. Another form of communication that describes what cannot be said in mere words. The music of this album is an experiment just for the sake of experimenting, surpassing boundaries and discovering possibilities in the hopes of better understanding the language of music itself.     In the end, Ummagumma, within its essence, is an exploratory odyssey. One in which Pink Floyd discover new musical realms and take themselves to even stranger dimensions. This is certainly one of their least appreciated efforts, and it's far from being a classic, but it was a necessary step in their career. This was the road that Pink Floyd had to take to not only discover themselves as musicians, but to develop a unique sound that would separate them from the rest of their contemporaries. Ummagumma provides an enriching experience not just because of the more artistic route of the music, but because we get to see Pink Floyd evolve as a band. Witnessing as we follow them through the directions they took that helped them grow into the legendary group they are remembered as to this very day.
Album Notes
UMMAGUMMA Pink Floyd: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Richard Wright (vocals, keyboards); Roger Waters (vocals, bass); Nick Mason (drums). side 1 was recorded live at Mothers, Birmingham, England and live at TheManchester College Of Commerce, England in June 1969.Party-liners may favor 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").
