{"product_id":"pink-floyd-obscured-by-clouds","title":"Pink Floyd OBSCURED BY CLOUDS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe last in Pink Floyd's series of 1970s film-inspired works, OBSCURED BY CLOUDS, like much of the band's music, has a cinematic feel. In retrospect, however, the album sounds like a warm-up for--or even a collection of high-quality outtakes from--Floyd's next and greatest record, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. The opening title track is the sort of proto-ambient music that Pink Floyd helped pioneer and, with its spooky slide guitar, sounds uncannily like some of Eno's work with U2. After another instrumental, the album takes a more traditional, song-based turn and the next seven tunes cover a dizzyingly diverse array of styles.\n\u003cbr\u003eThere is stomping, Grand Funk Railroad-style hard rock and gentle ballads like \"Stay\" and \"Burning Bridges\" (which recalls Hendrix's \"Little Wing\"). \"Childhood's End,\" a funky psychedelic number, sounds like a work-in-progress version of DARK SIDE's \"Time.\" David Gilmour, especially, is on top form. Whether creating Robert Fripp-esque soundscapes or blistering Clapton-style blues solos, Gilmour always plays for the song, effortlessly walking the thin line between guitar hero and ensemble musician. Throughout, the band weaves a beautiful, yet decidedly un-flashy, tapestry of sound that makes for a subtle, varied, and ultimately essential Pink Floyd album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2016-01-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2016-01-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pink Floyd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45268485931052,"sku":"HMACKF-9G9K-60","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/4755\/2812\/files\/pink-floyd-obscured-by-clouds_ZwIwO.jpg?v=1770660419","url":"https:\/\/b-side-records-vintage-2.myshopify.com\/products\/pink-floyd-obscured-by-clouds","provider":"B-Side Records \u0026 Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
