Pink Floyd

Conceived as the soundtrack for a film, Obscured By Clouds seems a bit uneven at first, with its short instrumental throwaways and general inability to hang together as a record. But when you get to "Childhood's End," with its trademark chunky rhythm, all is forgiven. That fuzz bass sound that turns up everywhere is also pretty great.

(Very) occasional songs from the Barbet Schroeder film La Vallee. The movie got buried, now skip the soundtrack. (Grade - C)
