Description
Pink Floyd - OBSCURED BY CLOUDS is a 1972 LP release on the Harvest label # ST-11078.
Obscured by Clouds is the soundtrack to the Barbet Schroeder film La Vallée. Here, the instrumentals float pleasantly, filled with interesting textures. Often, they seem quite tied to their time, either in their spaciness or in the pastoral folkiness, two qualities that are better brought out on the full-fledged songs interspersed throughout the record. Typified by "Burning Bridges" and "Wot's...uh the Deal," these songs explore some of the same musical ground as those on Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, yet they are more concise and have a stronger structure. But the real noteworthy numbers are the surprisingly heavy blues-rocker "The Gold It's in The...," which, as good as it is, is trumped by the stately, ominous "Childhood's End" and the jaunty pop tune "Free Four," two songs whose obsessions with life, death, and the past clearly point toward Dark Side of the Moon. ("Childhood's End" also suggests Dark Side in its tone and arrangement.) These tunes, blended with the sensibility of Meddle, suggest what Pink Floyd was about to develop into.
The jacket shows light wear on the front, back, bottom edge & corners and writing on the front. The record is in EX condition.
