comment |
All There in the Manual: Obscured, like its earlier counterpart More, has a detailed plot synopsis in the liner notes in the remastered version. Justified as very few anglophones have seen it. |

Longest Song Goes Last |

comment |
Longest Song Goes Last: The album closes with the nearly six-minute "Absolutely Curtains", the only track on the album to get that close to Epic Rocking status. |

Out-of-Genre Experience |
| | Obscured by Clouds (Music) / int_74ee1c2d |
comment |
Out-of-Genre Experience: The title track sounds more like a Kraut Rock song, with Nick Mason adopting a minimalistic "motorik beat" similar to Neu! or Can. "The Gold It's In The..." is a hard rock song, similar to "The Nile Song" on More. |

comment |
Packaged as Other Medium: The album cover is styled to resemble a film slide for a projector (as the artwork's concept was borne from a slide projector jamming while displaying stills from La Vallée), to the point where the original LP release rounds off the sleeve corners to resemble the shape of a film cel. |

comment |
Take That!: The album was given its current title after the band fell out with the film company behind La Vallée. In response, the film was retitled La Vallée (Obscured by Clouds) upon its release. |

Shout-Out |
| | Obscured by Clouds (Music) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: "Childhood's End" is a reference to Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End. "Stay" seems to be influenced by Elton John's "Your Song." John recorded in the same studio the band used to make the album. |
