Obscured by Clouds is a hidden gem in the catalog of Pink Floyd albums. The band’s seventh studio album was first released on June 2, 1972 as a soundtrack for Barbet Schroeder’s film, “La Vallee”.

Obscured by Clouds was not the first time Pink Floyd wrote and recorded a film soundtrack. They had already scored the films The Committee in 1968 and More and Zabriskie Point in 1969.

Pink Floyd was on the brink of super-stardom and had already begun recording Dark Side of the Moon when they were invited to score the film. Work on Dark Side was interrupted when the band traveled to France on two separate trips, between tours, to write and record music for the film.

The fact that the album was written and recorded in two weeks probably accounts for the fact that the quality of Obscured doesn’t quite match up to Floyd’s other creations. Maybe if the film had been a bigger success the album would be more popular. For Floyd fans it’s at least worth a listen!
