The 13 minute measure is split into four parts that mimic the struggles of Sysyphus, climaxing in pitch shifted screams and pounding drums. Inspired by the mythological Greek character who is punished to roll a boulder up a hill for the rest of his life, Sysyphus is typified by classical piano suites to orchestral wonder and ultimately tense, free form noise walls. While Pink Floyd is often perceived as a battle of creatives between Waters and Gilmour, keyboardist Richard Wright never truly gets the chance to shine for his inherent genius. The studio half of Ummagumma is written in four parts by: Richard Wright, Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason so I will divide it as such. Thus the second half, written in four isolated parts by each member, is a non cohesive plunge into the deep dark murk of avant garde.
