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 --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

4 out of 5 stars A Pivotal Album For Pink Floyd.......2007-06-28

I chose to review Obscured By Clouds since a plethora of reviewers chose to review the more popular albums like Meddle, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. thus ignoring this album.

It is a fact that soundtrack albums by pop artists aren't usually of the high caliber as their regular, studio album counterparts. This album is no exception. This album isn't as individualistic as other Pink Floyd albums. However, i still rate this album with 4 stars because it is a pivotal, musical and lyrical nexus between the spacey, haunting Meddle and the more urgent, contemporary electronic Dark Side Of The Moon. Obscure By Clouds definitely paved the way, musically and lyrically, for things to come!

Obscured By Clouds was actually the soundtrack to the film, La Vallee, by Barbet Schroeder. This was the second film by Schroeder to incorporate Pink Floyd's music (the first being the soundtrack to More). The film takes place in the primitive (but many times beautiful) regions of New Guinea. Pink Floyd's music lends itself well to this film.

Musically, the album starts out with the title track. It is an instrumental which incorporates many of the synthesizers and electronics as their next album, Dark Side Of The Moon. In fact, this instrumental could have easily fit, stylewise, on the Dark Side album. Some of the other important tracks are as follows: Burning Bridges- a slow, bluesy ballad with the trademark "bending of the notes" by David Gilmour on his guitar. There is also a beautiful interplay between Gilmour's and Wright's vocals, similar to Time from Dark Side... and Echoes from Meddle. Especially nice is the harmonization between the two of them. The Gold It's In The... is a power rocker sung by Gilmour. Wots... Uh The Deal is a beautiful, introspective ballad incorporating descending chord progressions. It is my favorite track from the album. Childhood"s End is still another rocker sung by Gilmour. This particular track is somwhat reminiscent of Money from Dark Side.... Free Four is Roger Water's only lead vocal contribution to this album. This song contains lyrical references to dying. Finally, Stay is a seductive, slow ballad sung by Rick Wright (with a nice wah-wah pedal guitar by Gilmour.

The most crucial aspects of this album are the lyrics provided by Roger Waters (with the exception of Childhood's End). This is the first time where where cynicism plays prominently into the lyrical content of a Pink Floyd album. This cynical trend was to increase on each successive album from here on out.

Even though this album isn't quite as innovative or progressive as other Pink Floyd albums, I would still recommend it, "Cos there's a chill wind blowing in my soul and I think I'm growing old."

4 out of 5 stars pleasant soundtrack music from pink floyd........2007-04-11

let's get right to it: the title track kicks things off, music rumbles up from out of the ether, spacey guitar licks join in, nice little instrumental. music with a bit of tension. track 2 is not as good, a pretty forgettable instrumental. luckily it's short, you'll most likely live through it and discover the better stuff that lays beyond. track 3 is the first vocal on the album, a soft gentle breezy piece. not bad at all. track 4 finds the gang getting into a hard rock groove. nice guitar solo. fine enough. track 5 nice vocal, beautiful acoustic guitar melody. mid-tempo, full of lazy grace. very good. track 6 is the best instrumental on the album. starts in a dreamy haze, breaks into some fine guitar work, then synthesizers and the guitar swirl around together a bit until more guitar soloing closes things out. excellent. track 7 is a fine song that sounds more like the pink floyd known to the general public. a gilmour vocal and a great gilmour guitar solo. this would sound right at home on later, more famous pink floyd albums. it really would. track 8 is the best song to be found here, an extremely catchy little ditty about aging and death and that sort of thing. very hummable. fun despite the subject matter. rocks hard at the end with some searing guitar licks. track 9 is a fine mid-tempo number, sweet and sentimental. no complaints. and finally, track 10 is an instrumental with a vague melody. spacey keyboards and synthesizer stuff. the album ends with what sounds like children and old people chanting not all that pleasantly in some language i never bothered to learn. so that's it. that's "obscured by clouds" by the great pink floyd. if you are only going to own one or two of their albums i would say don't bother with this. they have better work out there. however, if you already have their classics and want to add on to your collection, this is a good album. i'm not sorry i got the thing. not a bit.

1 out of 5 stars Overrated album.......2007-02-28

If the name Pink Floyd wasn't on this cd, who would really rate it higher that one or two stars ? I am a Pink Floyd fan, but I have to say that I don't like any of their early works. To me, the band begins to make great stuff with "Meddle" and their first cd were boring, even with the Pink Floyd name on it. The only good track is "Childhood's end", the other tracks are poor.

5 out of 5 stars The best Pink Floyd that no-one will hear. Wots, uh the deal?.......2007-01-31

The best Pink Floyd may be this pre-Dark Side soundtrack from 1972. Childhoods End, Freefour, Wots, uh the deal? may be the 3 best PF songs ever and not many people except the fans have ever heard them.

4 out of 5 stars Nearly Perfect!.......2006-10-13


A near perfect lp. Every bit as diverse as the oft-praised Meddle, but without an extended piece, "Obscured by Clouds" is one of those great neglected lps that shows what a group was capable of, and hints at the directions they might've chosen to go and did not.

Though the instrumentals are successfully filmic, the vocal numbers are more memorable. It's these that find the group playing outside the lines. Wright and Waters in particular really stand out as highly capable and eclectic musicians, excelling in a variety of styles.

"the gold it's in the...." is a great power pop blow-out. It's almost unidentifiable as Pink Floyd, which, to me, is a fine indication of talent,playing and writing outside your main bag. It's a bit like Todd Rundgren meets Big Star meets, um, anyone from glam rock. Very nice. Nick Mason's marvelous Spinal Tap-style tom fills are sweet.

"wot's...uh the deal" is a gorgeous pop number. Very Beatley what with the acoustic guitar arpeggios and a tune somewhere between Harrison and McCartney. Guitars are very George Harrison in fact. Even Gilmour's signature slide electric manages to sound like the Beatles. Tasty piano by the always underrated Rick Wright, who really shines through the whole lp.

"Childhood's End" is the most typical of what would follow for the Floyd: doomier numbers in a middle tempo rock vein.

"Free Four": some reviewers have expressed displeasure at this number. I find it delightful black humour. The themes of death and futility dominate all of Waters' work from Dark Side on out in a too heavy way for this reviewer to take. Where's the fun? But here we have hilarious synth stings, up front hand claps, a faux-Cockney count-in, and boisterously strummed acoustic guitars. Much fun to hear. Wish there was more like it.

"Stay": I can't believe this song wasn't an international #1 hit single. It is one of the best pop ballads of the decade. The lyrics perfectly illustrate the "one night stand" zeitgeist of the 70's. Fabulous tune and arrangement. Can't say enough positive about it.

To fully experience this great music be sure to get yourself the edition with "Digital Re-masters 1995" in fine print on the back cover (bar code: 7777-46385-2). Older editions are still floating around. I bought and returned one from the 80's. Ick. This 1995 remaster is certainly superlative.

    5 out of 5 stars Floyd's third and final soundtrack classic.......2006-03-24

    Pink Floyd released their eighth album(overall) Obscured by Clouds in June of 1972.
    The album was a soundtrack to the French film La Vallee, which was directed by Barbet Schroder.
    Obscured by Clouds was the band's second film soundtrack for Schroder, their first was the 1969 movie More and was their fourth overall as they also did songs for the movies The Committee and 1970's Zabriske Point.
    I first heard and obtained a copy of Obscured by Clouds when I was 11 years old on cassette in July of 1987 and I now have the remaster on CD(superbly remastered by James Guthrie and Doug Sax in 1996) and the sound on the remaster is like night and day(it buries the cassette and original CD).
    Obscured by Clouds was the album released before 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon and was the band's first ever US Top 50 disc peaking at a respectable #46 and eventually went Gold(in 1994).
    The album was produced by Pink Floyd themselves and was recorded in a week at the Chateau D'herouville(a/k/a the Honky Chateau as Elton John called it) in France in late February of 1972 during a break from touring Europe.
    Obscured by Clouds kicks off with the title cut(featuring excellent synth work from both keyboardist Rick Wright and bass player/vocalist Roger Waters and slide guitar from guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour) which then segues into When You're In(with excellent drumming from drummer Nick Mason). Those two tracks were staples of Floyd shows in 1973 on the Dark Side tour. Burning Bridges follows and has a great vocal from Gilmour and Wright and is a great tune. The Gold It's In The... is a hard rocker with some great guitar work from Gilmour. Wots...Uh the Deal follows and is a great song with excellent keyboard work from Wright and great vocals and guitar work from Gilmour. Next is an instrumental version of Burning Bridges entitled Mudmen which is in a different tempo than Burning Bridges.
    Side two kicked off with Childhood's End(one of Gilmour's best songs ever). Next is Free Four was Waters' first song mentioning the word run which would appear more dominantly on future Floyd albums, it also talks about war and death for the first time and those subjects would appear more dominantly on The Wall and The Final Cut. Free Four was the first Floyd track which got substantial airplay on American rock radio. Next was Stay, which had an excellent vocal from Wright. The album closes with the atmospheric instrumental entitled Absolutely Curtains which features synthesizer work from Gilmour, Waters and Wright and percussion work from Mason and the New Guinea tribe, from the actual La Vallee film itself, conclude this track.
    Obscured by Clouds would prove to give Pink Floyd its first US Top 50 album peaking at #46 and eventually obtaining Gold status.
    The album was re-released in Japan in 2001 with the 1996 remaster that Capitol/EMI released but with the original packaging like the original UK vinyl record.
    Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars not for beginners.......2001-06-26

    This album is a beautiful Pink Floyd album, but it is definately not a starter album. Tracks like "Wots...uh the deal" and "Childhood's End" are quite simply Pink Floyd at their best. This is an album and true fan should own, and an album that is a must for anyone who enjoys the albums More, Meddle, or Atom Heart Mother.
