A-yup. Personally I'm fine with 'em, provided they keep the flow/energy
going; always liked "Anonymous 2" by Focus, which included not just a
drum solo, but an extended bass solo section, all as part of a long-
form instrumental jam based around an uncredited theme from the 15th
century - doesn't get much more '70s art-rock than that XD

Ummagumma I'm hot & cold on (the live disc is killer, but only Gilmour
& Waters's solo tracks grab me - funny, as Wright is one of my all-time
favorite keyboardists,) but AHM is better than anybody gives it credit
for (even the band themselves mostly hated it.) Think it's because the
centerpiece is such an unusual number, with Floyd pretty much providing
a backing track to an orchestral piece mostly written by someone else.
Heard a live recording that was just the four of them, stripped down to
the bones of the piece, and that was mighty interesting; sounded closer
to the funky bits of "Echoes" than anything...
