In retrospect it’s obvious just how terrible this idea was… In a move that completely overestimated his and his bandmates’ compositional skills, Rick Wright suggested that they make a record where each member produces half an LP side entirely on their own, without help from his bandmates. If there ever was a record that encapsulates all the negative aspects about late-60s experimentalism, it must be the second LP of Ummagumma. They draw out “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun” nicely, toying with that understated tension as they race toward their destination, but of these four tracks, only “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” sounds truly definitive, although that has the benefit of being a previously unrecorded live staple. The live material represents a typical setlist from the late ’60s and therefore bears some historical curiosity. It’s a very interesting approach because through this meditative process, each member gets to discover their own potential and expand their creativity. And then unionizing all of the different pieces to compose the album. Deciding to isolate themselves from one another to comprise their own material. Pink Floyd‘s approach to Ummagumma is a very unique one. A musical approach that expresses an enthusiasm for experimentation and lengthy instrumental passages.
