Review

Ummagumma

(Capitol Records)
Release Date: 01/01/1969 12:00

Originally split into four sides of vinyl, the first half contained shivery live versions of “Careful With That Axe Eugene” and “Astronomy Domine,” among others. The rest is given over to individual solo compositions from all four band members. Skittering between indigestible jazz-rock and avant-garde twittering, the title “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict” is more arresting than the music itself.

STANDOUT TRACK: “Careful With That Axe Eugene (Live)”
