│release notes.
Obscured by Clouds is the soundtrack to the Barbet Schroeder film La
VallΘe, and it plays that way. Of course, it's possible to make the
argument that Pink Floyd's music of the early '70s usually played as mood
music, similar to film music, but it had structure and a progression. Here,
the instrumentals float pleasantly, filled with interesting textures, yet
they never seem to have much of a purpose. 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.) As startlingly
advanced as these last two songs are, they're not enough to push the rest
of Obscured by Clouds past seeming just like a soundtrack, yet these tunes,
blended with the sensibility of Meddle, suggest what Pink Floyd was about
to develop into.
