It is based on their soundtrack for the French film La Vallée, by Barbet Schroeder. It was recorded in two sessions in France, while they were in the midst of touring, and produced by the band members. The album is noticeably shorter than some of their previous material, and makes heavy use of the acoustic guitar.

Released June 2, 1972. Obscured By Clouds Tracklist. 1. Obscured by Clouds Lyrics. 2. When You're In Lyrics. Like More a few years prior, Obscured by Clouds is an album Pink Floyd made out of a Barbet Schroeder film score – in this case, to La Vallée/The Valley. The album’s title references the film’s titular valley, a region the protagonists are trying to reach that is yet uncharted as planes couldn’t see the land, permanently obscured by clouds. Bookended by the highly-regarded Meddle and The Dark Side Of The Moon, this album tends to be overlooked, as it was all written, composed, recorded and produced in a matter of weeks.
Pink Floyd – Childhood s End (Album Obscured by Cloud. :31. Pink Floyd – 1972 OBSCURED BY CLOUDS Burning Bridges. Pink Floyd – Childhood s End (1972 - Obscured by Clouds). Pink Floyd – The Gold It s In The.
The album's cover was, like several other Pink Floyd albums, designed by Hipgnosis. It consists of a photograph of a man sitting in a tree which has been taken out of focus to the point of complete distortion. Obscured by Clouds was released in the UK on 2 June 1972 and then in the United States on 15 June 1972, both on Harvest.
Obscured by Clouds is the soundtrack to the Barbet Schroeder film La Vallée, 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
