Editorial Review:
Commissioned as the soundtrack for Barbet Schroeder's 1972 film The Valley, Obscured By Clouds actually holds up rather well on its own terms. The title track is a trippy, cinematic instrumental that features some searing guitar work from David Gilmour, but full-fledged songs like "Free Four" (which sounds like a morbid inversion of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky"), and the folksy "Wot's...Uh the Deal" are the real highlights of the set. Essentially a transitional work, Obscured By Clouds has long been dwarfed by Dark Side of the Moon, the album which came immediately after it. In fact, the funky "Childhood's End" and the ethereal "Burning Bridges" could well be dry runs for the Dark Side tracks "Time" and "Breathe," respectively. In all, it's a priceless snapshot of a band on the verge of immortality. --Dan Epstein

- Amazing Soundtrack Album From Pink Floyd
The music contained on this album was made for the French movie La Vallée. I haven't seen the movie but all I know, is that the ten songs that make up this LP are fantastic! It was recorded in March, 1972 at the Château d'Herouville and it finally came out in June of the same year. The line-up featured is the classic one: Roger Waters on vocals/bass, David Gilmour on guitar, Rick Wright on keyboards/vocals, and Nick Mason on drums.

- Not bad at all but not great either!
This album has some good moments and a lot of smooth numbers with David Gilmours voice and trademark guitar in the background. However, for me it's not a great Pink Floyd record. In my opinion the best of the pyscadelic Floyd was on Syd's albums. He had something unique and his vocals and guitar work were ground breaking. When Pink Floyd continued on without him they were searching for a while although I DO like the Meddle album, It's the best 60's Floyd album without Syd Barrett. Of course after ... Read More
