Remembering my Dad, who was so willing to try to understand what his weird son was into 50 years ago, that he listened all the way through Umma Gumma with me. He didn't get it at all, but what a great guy for trying!
The studio album showed all of their talents individually and the 2nd live album showed how they work together. I've listened to that double album since 1971. I took it to music class 1st grade and played Careful With That Axe Eugene ... It still hits me the same way now. My class freaked out ...
The best of the album. Ok Waters writes all songs, Gilmour great guitar bla bla bla but 50% of Pink Floyd sound is Rick Wright, and not only in Ummagumma! ;)
In the first part, with an epic sound, Sisyphus begins to push the boulder up the mountain, symbolising the beginning of an ambitious move in human life, and this high mood continues into the first half of the second part, with Wright's beautiful piano melody speaking of our hopes for the future. However, in the second half, as Sisyphus reaches the top of the mountain, there are still countless peaks before him, waiting to be climbed, and the piano melody suddenly becomes dark and disjointed, symbolising the despair and helplessness that rises in our hearts as we realise the harsh truth of life's endless cycles. Human beings long to understand the meaning of everything, yet the world is indeed so incomprehensible. This dichotomy gives us a sense of absurdity, as if being born into the world is a punishment, just as Sisyphus was punished by pushing a stone up a mountain forever. The third part describes the state of madness and nothingness into which human beings have fallen because of their unwillingness to accept the meaninglessness of their lives. At the beginning of the fourth part, the melodic nature of the song slowly picks up. Mankind gradually understands that the only way to fight this absurdity is to acknowledge its existence and face it bravely, and since there is no escape from this cyclical punishment, we try to enjoy the process as a way of resisting it. At the end of the song, the epic sound from the opening are heard again, symbolising the beginning of a new cycle, and this time Sisyphus is still enthusiastic about the future, because he knows that this is the only way to fight against a disorderly and malicious world.
This is a masterful composition in many ways and shows Wright's classical training and heavy progressive jazz influence. Not an everyday song, but a true psychedelic journey that covers a wide emotional spectrum.
0:00 -oh a start of an serious tune 1:06 -an beautiful classic piano slowly turning into an earthquake horror sound of piano at end 4:39 -am i in an asylum full of crazy people playing instruments with mad monkeys??? 6:30 -we want to apologize to our audience for the earlier segment...lets us satisfy you with this relaxing,beautiful sound of nature,which makes you veeery veeryy relaxed and sleepy ... 9:41 -WAKEY WAKEY!!!...you were sleeping!!! If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention!!! Enjoy the horror til the end :D
I was riding in a car to go on a camping trip with my friends up to the White Mountains in New Hampshire in the early 70's. We were all high on acid. Can't remember which variety. orange sunshine or purple microdot maybe (?). Anyway, by the time we got up there, the sun had gone down, the skies were clear, and the stars looked like you could reach out and touch them. The mountains reached up to the sky all around us as we drove down the Kancamangus Highway. This piece was playing out of the 8-track stereo in my friend's car at the time. It's burned in to my memory to this day.
The best of the album. Ok Waters writes all songs, Gilmour great guitar bla bla bla but 50% of Pink Floyd sound is Rick Wright, and not only in Ummagumma! ;)
Yes P F's sound is much thanks to great Rick Wright! But he composed much too, at least until mid -70s. And his voice is a nice contrat to the others :-)
Just imagine how much different than this piece is a hit like "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2". And it's the same great Pink Floyd who performed both with the very same members. These people are geniuses.
How much different are Richard Wright from Roger Waters, I suppose. These artists were talented enough to fly Solo with their own compositions. For Water's best, it's off to Grantchester Meadows, for me.
Well, as a matter of fact, Richard Wright is the only musician playing in this masterpiece. He plays every instruments, from piano, Hammond organ and Mellotron to percussions, drums and sound effects.
With the passing of time, Wright regretted having created this. He found it pompous and pretentious, and yet we do not all agree with him, it is one of the most beautiful and captivating sound architectures of Ummagumma
Sysyphus, more commonly spelled as 'Sisyphus,' was a figure of Greek mythology who was punished by being made to roll a rock up a hill for all eternity Pushing the rock was Sisyphus’ purpose, and no matter how evil he was, he is still remembered for his labor towards his purpose. Without the rock, or the effort, he won’t have been a topic of anyone’s discussion. We are all modern day Sisyphus, we work tirelessly day in and day out. However there is something which we can learn from his story and implement in our lives. We must learn to embrace our purpose(the rock) in life. And once we accept it as the objective of our being, we should give in everything it takes to achieve it. Sisyphus teaches us to never give in to circumstantial disappointments or try to escape from the failures, rather accept failures the same way we accept our achievements.
This was the first Floyd album I bought for myself (after being raised on DSotM and The Wall), having just turned 13. This Richard Wright composition just captured my attention and imagination (as did his creepy photo inside the Ummagumma LP sleeve) and as I post this today, now at age 45, I still listen to Sysyphus with the utmost attention. Brilliant. Just brilliant. Ummagumma will always be my NUMBER ONE Pink Floyd album.
First Floyd Album you hear always holds a special spot, I think. I'm old enough to remember Piper at The Gates of Dawn, but it was not played back on American radio that much in those days. I first realized and appreciated the Floyd on AOR radio back in 71 when they played 'Echoes' while listening with my headphones one night. Listening to them ever since.
I remember listening to this Whole Album at a friend’s house many years ago when were partying back then (early 90’s) and then a few friends of mine at the time a few years later went out to the forest preserves just outside of Chicago after the forest preserves were closed and we went way back into the forest in between two hills and started playing this Album again and the Echo off of the hills made it Sound even better than it did at the house of my friend at the time. It was incredible !!! Great Album ! ❤❤❤ I don’t Party at All Anymore but I Still Love To Listen To This Album 🎧🎧🎧🤙
Part I = makes me remember something like Egyptian or Roman Empire... Part II = a piano sound that turns to psychedelic stuff Part III = very insane and nonsnese piece, a bad trip lol Part IV = very great piece, for me is the best of all parts...scaring sound included - All parts is a great psychedelic masterpiece!!!
The first part legit sounds like the inspiration for Spinal Tap’s Stonehenge intro. The second part sounds like Roger Wright is pushing a piano up a flight of stairs, but Keith Emerson is sitting on it. Part 3 made me rethink my life choices. I liked it. It has a beat you can dance to. 48/60
Having first listened to this on vinyl, the assumption is that part 2 starts at 4:39, part 3 is the quiet section starting at 6:29, and part 4 starts very loud at 9:42. No CD seems to agree with this, but then if the CD track split is wrong, then the track split on the vinyl I had was wildly out. And I've seen another label which even manages to forget that part 4 even exists...
Correct! I've just dug out my vinyl copy (bought in 1977) and there are gaps between the sections at those points. I don't know how they've managed to get it wrong on the CDs (and I have both the original issue and the 1994 reissue which are both wrong) when it's bleedin' obvious really!
Back in the seventies I went to see a local stage play of 'Equus'. In the last few minutes of the first half of the play before intermission when the disturbed young man blinded horses in a very dramatic scene, the last minute of this track was played to accompany it. I've never heard music used to such incredible effect in a stage play since. It could have been written for the scene.
Not a "song" (as some people are calling it), but an instrumental. And a mighty work it is. UMMAGUMMA is a masterpiece, and one of the most underrated albums ever.
I believe Part 1 is the opening and the piano solo, Part 2 is the bit with the drumming and crashing, Part 3 is the mellotron solo and part 4 is the dissonant chords and the closing. They commonly get mislabeled as part 1 being just the opening and part 4 being 3 & 4 together.
the last part has more than a touch of Stockhausen's "Momente" about it; the key difference is that the organ here rises, and the organs in "Momente" fall
Hey! I'm not just a character from Ulysses! I got my own book, it called "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"! I'm a frigging protagonist! Also, Harold Bloom has suggested that I am the narrator of the 1st 3 Dubliners' short stories! I'm a big book star and my father mr Joyce would love Pink Floyd too!
Wspaniała kompozycja RICKA WRIGHTA...... Dla mnie najwspanialszą z ich czwórki.... Ogólnie album UMMAGUMMA jest nieco dziwny ale chyba taki był zamysł twórców.... I za to im chwała..... 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸Bravo
I can't pick a favorite. Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox, gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water... this is such a beautiful song evoking a pastoral scene in England.
more like 20th Century Orchestral -Classical was a phase that led into Romantic era and then 20th Century era was all much more atonal and unconventional (Stockhausen, Cage, Stravinsky, Edgard Varese, Steve Reich etc etc)
there's more than a touch of Karlheinz Stockhausen in the last part - the ascending organ lines mirror the descending organ lines in "Momente", but there's much more despair and hopelessness than there is in "Momente"
Escutar Pink Floyd aos 10anos, aos 15anos, aos 20, 30, 40 e aos 60 anos. É ler e se apaixonar por uma obra prima, um clássico. E sempre reler, reler e reler. Descobrir coisas novas e continuar apaixonado.
along with ATOM HEART MOTHER and NARROW WAY,,,,,,,,,heavyyyyyyy and complicated as it could possibly could be,,,,,so many things going on here,,,,a top Floyd track.......
Remembering my Dad, who was so willing to try to understand what his weird son was into 50 years ago, that he listened all the way through Umma Gumma with me. He didn't get it at all, but what a great guy for trying!
Ummagumma is best Floyd's album for me
@@damiroruc8972it's a great album except for a certain song that shant be named
A masterpiece by Richard Wright. Deep, prog, classical, experimental. Very underrated Floyd's album. I have the LP and I love it.
The studio album showed all of their talents individually and the 2nd live album showed how they work together. I've listened to that double album since 1971. I took it to music class 1st grade and played Careful With That Axe Eugene ... It still hits me the same way now. My class freaked out ...
Anybody who can at least give this song a chance sober is a friend to me
bob Hey there!
Hi!
listening sober and it's making me high
Damn, does this make me some kind of intellectual?
I've never done drugs, and I love lots of Pink Floyd's most psychedelic (and also long) songs lol
The Wright Stuff.

Makes sense to me!
Part IV Is Startling...Giving And Unexpecting Person A Turn...A Return To The Main Theme...
Yeah. Ok.
Bro gave the most random bullshit pink Floyd song an actual meaning lol
So underrated work from Pink Floyd. Only few can understand this genius masterpiece.
only few can survive it

Yes P F's sound is much thanks to great Rick Wright! But he composed much too, at least until mid -70s. And his voice is a nice contrat to the others :-)
R.I.P Mr Richard William Wright. 9 years ago today.
Did not listen to this for, what, 34 years or so. The mellotron part still gives me goose bumps.
34 years is a long time, jesus
The mellotron makes me cry. It's very powerful and captivating.
Just imagine how much different than this piece is a hit like "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2". And it's the same great Pink Floyd who performed both with the very same members. These people are geniuses.
Tomasz Toft Ironically, this was written by Richard Wright who was fired during the making the Wall.
Now I go back to my sisyphean task of mowing the lawn.....again!
How much different are Richard Wright from Roger Waters, I suppose. These artists were talented enough to fly Solo with their own compositions. For Water's best, it's off to Grantchester Meadows, for me.

Mr Wright towards most of the eccentric sounds in Pink Floyd songs........Greetings from Argentina

Yes...
the only big failure is failing to try - those who try and try through the failures will have some successes among them,.,.
Thank you for this!
One of the most underrated tracks by PF. Rest In Peace, Richard Wright
The 1960s Pink Floyd Is So Underrated.
What A Gem.
When i listen this song i think about "this is the soundtrack of the hell". Simply perfect.
This evits them in
If you read Albert Camus, then it will all make sense to you.
This is excellent. I have enjoyed this album for more than 50 years.
This was the first Floyd album I bought for myself (after being raised on DSotM and The Wall), having just turned 13. This Richard Wright composition just captured my attention and imagination (as did his creepy photo inside the Ummagumma LP sleeve) and as I post this today, now at age 45, I still listen to Sysyphus with the utmost attention.

Part III = very insane and nonsnese piece, a bad trip lol
Part IV = very great piece, for me is the best of all parts...scaring sound included

All parts is a great psychedelic masterpiece!!!
Marcus Sanches enjoying the thick gladiator Mellotron, that's for sure.
When that piano gets all frantic and layered...I feel the song is going to launch into Refugee's "Grand Canyon Suite"...
It's all like Refugee, Amon Düül 2 and Gracious! rolled into one.
I love the part when the intro ends and the piano start
Marcus Sanches I completely agree that part 4 is fucking awsome very under appreciated.
This is probably the most underrated album in Pink Floyd's whole discography
You kidding? This is the most underrated track ever made! I'd even call it the greatest song of all time.
@@doosin8696 indeed, this is very slept on!
One of the greatest pieces of music ever
More and Ummagumma are underrated imo
I always loved this instrumental, a real blowing mind experience.
Real masterpiece , RIP Rick Wright
Richard Wright is probably the best composer of Post-Barrett Pink Floyd.
July m92 yes
Well...
Seriously ?
The Only One.
@F B I FBI=😖🤢🤮
Indeed. It must be the sound of Sysyphus' loosing his boulder during his endless punishment.
The first part legit sounds like the inspiration for Spinal Tap’s Stonehenge intro.
The second part sounds like Roger Wright is pushing a piano up a flight of stairs, but Keith Emerson is sitting on it.
Part 3 made me rethink my life choices.
I liked it. It has a beat you can dance to. 48/60
Yeah the beginning motif with the Mellotron is super catchy.
Roger Wright?
One of the BEST MUSIC PIECES EVER WRITTEN AND RECORDED IN SUCH PPROFFESIONAL MANNER!!!!!
The first time I listened to this was on a pretty high volume, part III was very noisy and 9:42 scared the shit out of me!
years later, even knowing its coming, it'll still do that.
yep - just horrifying, and very deliberately so,,,, I only ever put it on quietly now!
Richard was a amazing keyboardist!
Need to buy me a copy of this album after all these centuries.
This whole piece is like the soundtrack to a frightening nightmare. Love it.
It's always made most sense to me with the parts being defined by the pauses. Like
Part 1: 0:00
Part 2: 4:39
Part 3: 6:29
Part 4: 9:42
Yes, those are the original and obvious parts. The remasters are simply wrong!
Yeah, EMI messed those up with the remaster. They also have the studio album as disc one when it should be the live album.
Dig those crazy Mellotron strings!!!

Wright in Zappa territory. Which means avant-garde classical for much of the piece. The mellotron bit is a gorgeous bit of Floyd pastoral psych.
+Mr. Caleb Pretty much, you can get a pretty clear idea from Google image.
Definitely a night time, or early in the morning album. Love It!
For me, this is the real Pink Floyd. Everything before they created the wall. Pure eargasme!
The beginning and end theme remind me of Imperial Rome for some reason.
Ancient Egypt for me.

Hey Bob i'am your friend, this track Is another real gem of Pink Floyd,solo,sooooo underrated

prequel to 'great gig in the sky', but i think this is better - certainly more epic and disturbing

Best comment :D
This whole album is amazing! Tripping, drunk, high, sober... Don't matter!
That single moment when the rock goes down the hill again; when you realize its time to do it from the beginnig again...
the last part has more than a touch of Stockhausen's "Momente" about it; the key difference is that the organ here rises, and the organs in "Momente" fall

The ending is just... It's a place I don't like visiting let's just keep it like that.
&show my sympathy - i've seen that (w)hole before&
1:49 Rick why the fuck didn't you make that resolve
This is Classical!
more like 20th Century Orchestral -Classical was a phase that led into Romantic era and then 20th Century era was all much more atonal and unconventional (Stockhausen, Cage, Stravinsky, Edgard Varese, Steve Reich etc etc)
The title I mean you're right. And by the way I mean right I mean wright.
What
What
there's more than a touch of Karlheinz Stockhausen in the last part - the ascending organ lines mirror the descending organ lines in "Momente", but there's much more despair and hopelessness than there is in "Momente"
The U.S. LP had
Part 1 0:00
Part 2 4:39

Part 4 9:41

Q: which is more important to the Pink Floyd sound? Roger Waters lyrics, or Dave Gilmour's guitar and voice?
A: Rick Wright's keyboards.
look at the picture on the left side of the chair and compare the differences with the main photo
May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969; by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this track.
Escutar Pink Floyd aos 10anos, aos 15anos, aos 20, 30, 40 e aos 60 anos. É ler e se apaixonar por uma obra prima, um clássico. E sempre reler, reler e reler. Descobrir coisas novas e continuar apaixonado.
i imagine this kind of music with the 1963 peplum movie, "Jason and the argonaute"
! ! ! I can - it would work!
It s accurate, it fits in the iron colossus part of film.
along with ATOM HEART MOTHER and NARROW WAY,,,,,,,,,heavyyyyyyy and complicated as it could possibly could be,,,,,so many things going on here,,,,a top Floyd track.......
Absolute masterpiece which has never been surpassed in any form of music. Richard was gentle creative genius.
