I agree, it was a very bad idea. And yes, with Atm Hrt Mthr there was definitely a feeling of an awesome band working together.
But, Ummagumma also allowed for some interesting pieces. It showed that group unity is a necessary part of recording. Also, at least the band members got to express themselves early on so they could get it out of their system.
I think Ummagumma let the members of Pink Floyd know which direction NOT to take their music towards. "Small Species of Furry Animals" is a very unique song, but COME ON!
