Obscured by Clouds

Soundtrack to the film "La Vallee"

Release date: June 3rd, 1972
Recorded at: Chateau d'Herouville, France


Like "More" three years earlier, "Obscured By Clouds" was a Barbet Schroeder's film soundtrack which saw the group eschewing their usual approach.

Gilmour's grinding "Childhood's End" and Waters' deliciously cynical "Free Four" are worthy of real attention.
