[I]More[/I] and [I]Obscured By Clouds[/I] are the two soundtracks.

And [I]Ummagumma[/I] was released before [I]Atom Heart Mother[/I], yes, but they didn't really bring the space rock sound together until [I]Meddle[/I].

And [I]More[/I] came out before [I]Ummagumma[/I], both in '69, but July 27th (I think) versus (my birthday) October 25th.

And it is a live show, but with very good sound engineering, much like a lot of Floyd's live stuff.

[QUOTE=rippa32;14298962]I got Ummagumma on vinyl :chug: . So far Iv'e only heard the live album but it sounds great, I love the performance of Careful With That Axe Eugene. Something I was curious about though was I was looking at the tracklist of Disc 2 and noticed everyone got credited for the stuff they wrote, except Nick who doesnt have any credit next to his. What's going on there?[/QUOTE]

I'm going to buy Ummagumma later tonight. I got some money yesterday and have been thinking all day about which CDs I want to buy. Funny thing, I read my horoscope in the newspaper today and it said: "Tonight: Make it OK to buy that CD"

It's fate.

My horoscope said, "You will shatter all you hold dear and feast on the blood of the innocent"

I figured since it was fated to happen anyway...

That's a pretty exciting horoscope.

But yeah, seriously buy Ummagumma, no matter what medium it is on.

Just because you should own it to complete your collection.:p

And that kitten is omgcute.

Oh well ok, its just I know its quite easy to make something seem live.

Actually, apparently it [I]was[/I] subject to some overdubbing.

Oh, well I had a look and apparently Saucerful is made up of four shows. apparently it shows four parts in the tracklist too but not on my copy.

I never knew [I]Obscured by Clouds[/I] was a soundtrack. It's so much better than [I]More[/I] in that regard.

I'm not a big fan or [I]More[/I], though. The only song I really like on it is Cymbaline.

I'm glad to see everybody buying Floyd's best album.

Ummagumma is the only Floyd studio album I don't have besides A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

You still have a few more to catch up to Montana and me, Robo, hehe.

So I just obtained Atom Heart Mother vinyl off my uncle. Now I need a record player to play it on.

If your not really interested about belt drive/direct drive, manual/automatic or whatever you can get them pretty cheap.

Replace [I]A Momentary Lapse of Reason[/I] with [I]The Final Cut[/I] and you have my situation.

so


Tickets for Roger Waters in my city go on sale for monday

what kind of seats do you think I should go for?

and

what state of mind do you recommend I attend with?

Ummagumma rocks, everyone buy it.

OBC is awesome too. I just listened to it again today. Lots of good solos on Dave's part.

Seating will depend on where your going.

I only have Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, WYWH, The Wall, DSOTM, and Animals. I'm not crazy about Atom Heart Mother and I don't like Piper at the Gates of Dawn either. Which album should I get next?

[I]Obscured By Clouds[/I] I suppose.

I finally got The Division Bell from a friend the other day. It's pretty good, but like I've said before, Post-Waters PF really doesn't do it for me. So the albums I now have (in order of when they came out) are:

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, A Saucerful Of Secrets, Meddle, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, and The Division Bell.

Can someone help me figure out the albums I don't have?

[I]Ummagumma[/I] and [I]Atom Heart Mother[/I]

You're also missing both soundtracks, the live albums and [I]Relics[/I].

I think that's about it.

Either of the soundtrack albums (More and Obscured by Clouds) and the Zabrinski point sessions, Atom Heart Mother, Relics, Ummagumma, the live version of the wall (Is There Anybody Outthere? - I prefer it to the studio take), Music from the Filmore, P.U.L.S.E. gives a nice take on the post Waters Floyd.

The rest is the really completionist stuff. And to be honest, you've got the best ones already (Final Cut, WYWH, Darkside).

Edit: beat dammit.

Also, is A Collection of Great Dance Songs worth buying?

[QUOTE=What?;14312824]Also, is A Collection of Great Dance Songs worth buying?[/QUOTE]

Not really. Maybe for completionism but it's just a collection of songs from albums you already have. And its name is false advertising.

I wouldn't say false advertising. Just a bit of humour.

[quote=RNR;14313152]Not really. Maybe for completionism but it's just a collection of songs from albums you already have. And its name is false advertising.[/quote]

Yeah, I'm aiming for the completionism :D

I have all of their studio albums on my computer, but I dont have any of the extra stuff, like live or whatever.

I've got a good portion of their discography but I'm not interested in having [I]everything[/I]. The greatest hits type stuff I don't really care for.

P.S. [I]Ummagumma[/I] is incredible. Can't believe it has taken me this long to finally listen to it. Both discs are good, but the first one is absolute sex.

Ummagumma isn't my favorite album, but it's not bad. I love the live CD, but I'm not huge on the fragmentation of the studio CD.

I should get it.

All this [I]Ummagumma[/I] discussion makes me fee left out :'(

[QUOTE=MattSharpIsCool;14316320]Ummagumma isn't my favorite album, but it's not bad. I love the live CD, but I'm not huge on the fragmentation of the studio CD.[/QUOTE]

Fragmentation? What do you mean?

Each track/suite on the studio disc is like a solo track by each member

Careful With That Axe, Eugene is probably my favorite Floyd song ever, and the Ummagumma version is my favorite.

BTW, which disc is considered "Disc 1"?

[QUOTE=rippa32;14316599]Fragmentation? What do you mean?[/QUOTE]

Like that guy said, each member has 3 or 4 tracks to themself. So it's an album with four completely different styles and ideas on it, mixed together.

The live stuff is considered "disc 1"

Well yeah I already knew that but to me it flowed alright considering.

Maybe I should listen to it again, I might be making an a[size=2]s[/size]s of myself.

Nah, it is a bit fragmented, but I like it anyways. And besides, [I]Dark Side Of The Moon[/I] is fairly fragmented too, when you think about it.

The tape version of [I]Ummagumma[/I] is a bit better, because (intentionally or not) there's a sort of "warmness" running through the entire studio part, that links everything together nicely.

It's hard to describe, but people who've heard it will know what I mean.

The Zabriskie Point sessions are killer to find, I saw someone pay like more than 100 euro's for the vinyl, but I guess it's worth it for 10 songs almost no one heard ...

I can upload the Zabriskie point sessions if anyone wants them.

They're ok, mostly for completionists.

You can see how some ideas work their way into later work though. There's a piano piece that's the genesis of Us and Them. It was written for the fight/riot scene. Very cool.

Have to wait a couple of weeks until I get home from uni though.

Hmm, I've always thought Darkside was a great example of an album flowing together perfectly.
