4 stars Ummagumma: divided into 2 parts. 4 first songs are reasonable and melody logical, but second part is totally art prog music with no many logic as into the live part. 1. Astronomy Domine (8:29) Syd Barrett dimension of stars and paranoia, very rockish song, good and dinamic, except middle part. 2. Careful With That Axe, Eugene (Instrumental) (8:50) Song so original i cannot describe that universal song, with Waters chill scream, in the end is a india melody 3. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (9:12) Turkish drums, tempo, mystical dark lyrics and voice of Waters. Gooooood. Mystical 4. Saucerful of Secrets (12:48) Psychedelic, 8 minutes, intro with percussions, chilling guitar, and pushing piano, middle section is organ solo, outro is beautiful with Gilmour a capella 5. Sysyphus, Pt. 1 (1:08) 6. Sysyphus, Pt. 2 (3:30) 7. Sysyphus, Pt. 3 (1:49) 8. Sysyphus, Pt. 4 (6:59) Great greece theme, with not so unreasonable tempo or melody, keyboard of Wright is only sound 9. Grantchester Meadows (7:26) British song from Waters, vocal and acoustic with sound of nature, 10. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and (4:59) psychedelic sounds of animals to rip your ear and monologue from some scottish man with pict language 11. Narrow Way, Pt. 1 (3:27) 12. Narrow Way, Pt. 2 (2:53) 13. Narrow Way, Pt. 3 (5:57) Rock story from gilmour, 14. Grand Vizier's Garden Party: Enterance, Pt. 1 (1:00) 15. Grand Vizier's Garden Party: Entertainment, Pt. 2 (7:06) 16. Grand Vizier's Garden Party: Exit, Pt. 3 (0:38) percussion story from Mason
