Cover art for Sysyphus (Part 2) lyrics by Pink Floyd

I really don't know why they changed the labeling of the four parts for the CD. On the original LP, "Sysyphus Part One" is that loud gothic part, organ, mellotron, gongs, tympani and so on, then the piano solo. "Part Two" is the weird scratchy part with the animal screams and such, "Part Three" is the quiet section, and "Part Four" starts with the sudden loud chord, through the end.

It was formatted that way from 1969 on through, until they changed it for the current CD release. It's irritating.

My Opinion

This is my favorite part of Sysyphus since you can really hear Rick Wright play and then he sorta goes crazy at the end.
