| lesfitzpatrick | Posted: Mar 05, 2012 - 16:15 note to self: don't double-click the RP site and accidentally load two RPs about half a second apart. While this will enhance Pink Floyd's remarkable music offering, it may lead to flash-backs. So freaking GREAT to hear this on RP...if only the next and absolutely ripping track off the record came next! Used to blow people away at parties; many folks, every time, were like, "Whoah, WHO is this?" and many were rooted to the spot to learn of its sneaky pinkness... |

| trissi | Posted: Jan 20, 2011 - 11:11 such a great track, but not the best on the album. this album, like DSOTM, is to be savored without interruption and with the finest of substances. |

Anyone ever seen the movie? yes, More is a little better imho, but worth watching. The best PF soundtrack though is "Come in Number 51 Your Time is Up" (a re-name of Careful with That Axe Eugene) done for Zabreski Point.. shown here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=105347862834416#!/pages/FuzyTweets/105347862834416 or here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rxpfO90mg8 |
| vit | Posted: Apr 09, 2010 - 15:11 3 great instrumentals blending into each other: Oscar Lopez - Classical Soul Cake - Arco Arena Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds |

| jeraldej | Posted: Feb 05, 2010 - 12:32 I can listen to a Pink Floyd track at any time. Wish You Were Here is one of my desert island favorites. This track is exceptionally good as well |

| flatpicker (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Feb 05, 2010 - 12:24 This album deserves more attention than it gets! Great stuff! |

| (former member) (Infinity and Beyond) | Posted: Dec 04, 2009 - 17:09 Suggestion: Follow this with "I got the key" Russ Ballard's "Voices...I hear voices!" |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Dec 04, 2009 - 17:08 your copy is much better sounding than my old vinyl...Gilmore's guitar is unmistakable |

| ODAD (Yakima, WA, USA) | Posted: Nov 20, 2008 - 16:53 Shouldn't that be "Tank yew, tank yew berry mulch" ? |

| More_Cowbell (North of Chicago, IL, USA) | Posted: Jul 17, 2008 - 06:56 I wondered when this would get some play time on RP. A PF classic and I think a real transition point for the band! |
| snowcat (Cold, Frozen Minnesota) | Posted: Jul 17, 2008 - 06:54 Oscar Lopez - Classical Soul Cake - Arco Arena Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds That was one of the smoothest 3-song segues I have ever heard. |
| dctrpunda (the thin line of here) | Posted: Jun 15, 2008 - 18:28 Agree, the next song needs to be there. The movie from which this is a sountrack to is even more frustrating for those who have the album deeply ingrained as they play only parts of each song - movie is cool though, though More is better and both are firmly in the B movie genre. |

I salute you, sir! 
Obscured by Clouds is one of my favorite Floyd albums. I'd love to see "Childhood's End" added to the playlist, too. |
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: May 15, 2008 - 08:02 sweet. |

| spaceman (Vienna, Austria) | Posted: Apr 13, 2008 - 19:34 Very cool indeed. But you should really play the next track "When You're In" right after - that's where they step on the gas, and the two tracks really belong together. |
| Mina_the_Boo (Atlanta) | Posted: Mar 13, 2008 - 08:05 Very cool. Floyd I've never heard before. Thanks for this!  |
| ronniegirl (Middle of New Jersey) | Posted: Mar 13, 2008 - 08:01 Wish it was longer. |

| oscar_driver (Planet Earth) | Posted: Mar 13, 2008 - 08:01 to bad the next track wasn't played (that could make sense musically) .. that could take it to the next level .. still Thanks very much! OScar |
| black321 (Bong Island) | Posted: Mar 13, 2008 - 08:01 Ahh, music from the Happy Floyd period |
| shayde (Natick, MA) | Posted: Mar 13, 2008 - 08:00 Easily 20 years since I heard this. Awesome. |
