Ummagumma

PinkFloyd-album-ummagummastudio-300

The third "proper" Pink Floyd album (assuming you don't count the More soundtrack) finds the post0Barrett quartet getting their act together.

Hughesy's assessment: While the live material is Outstanding, mileage on the studio material definitely varies.There is, however, nothing quite like grooving with a Pict.
