About this album

Obscured By Clouds is a strong, often underrated Pink Floyd album that sharpens the band’s psychedelic prog craft for cinema. Written for Barbet Schroeder’s film La Vallée and released in 1972, it sits at an important point between the experimental stretch of the late 1960s and the major studio era that followed. The record balances concise songwriting with atmospheric instrumentals, and tracks such as Free Four and Wot’s... Uh The Deal show a more direct, melodic approach without losing the group’s trademark space and tension. It is one of the band’s most concise and accessible releases from the early 1970s.
