The early Pink Floyd, part 6. Late 1971 and all during 1972 the band was busy recording a thematic album. In between, film director Barbet Schroeder asked them if they were interested in making the sound track for his film ‘La Valléé’. They absolutely were. The tracks for that movie were released on the LP ‘Obscured by Clouds’ just a month after they had recorded them. It turned out to be a terrific upbeat for Pink Floyd’s most succesful work ‘Dark Side of the Moon’. This episode features some of the tracks of Obscured by Clouds in a new mix, and the preparations for Darks Side of the Moon, both live and in the studio. This episode concludes the series on the early work of Pink Floyd, which most definitely deserves to be listened to, back then and today.
