Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally recorded as the soundtrack to the French film 'La Vall茅e', 'Obscured by Clouds' captures Pink Floyd at a pivotal transitional moment[cite: 10]. Released via Harvest, the album balances their early psychedelic rock roots with the tighter progressive rock structures that would define their later masterpieces[cite: 10].
