UMMAGUMMA

Ummagumma is one of the albums that is special. Special, because it is a unique album, in a style not done by others, certainly not before. It is also an album that creates a specific atmosphere, a specialty that belongs to Pink Floyd anyway. But is the music exceptionally good? Are there songs on this album that ask for special attention? I am afraid that my answer is no. It is nice to listen to, but it is not the music that you often listen to. I have to say that especially the "solostic" parts on the original second lp weaken the album to a rating of only a 3. That is a pity because the first LP is maybe not excellent but at least essential due to the uniqueness.
