Obscured by Bokeh
Someone commented on Rajini Rao post about a Syd Barrett video http://goo.gl/u2W5l so it popped into my notifications.
I figured it’s time to share some Pink Floyd. Then I thought I should find something obscure. Although I ♥ all things Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon can be shared only so many times. Ditto for The Wall. Then I thought, I haven’t listened to Obscured by Clouds in a long time.
So here is Childhood’s End on Obscured by Clouds. Obscured by Clouds was Pink Floyd’s soundtrack for the French film La Vallée, which is about a woman who goes on a search of a mysterious hidden valley in the bush of New Guinea. The album was released in 1972 and reached number 1 in France, 6 in the UK, and 46 in the US :(. The album cover, which I sadly miss with CDs and DVDs, is a perfect example of Bokeh (intentional blur, out of focus, photography).

Another interesting tidbit, check out the other users of the EMS VCS3 synthesizer, which was used on Obscured by Clouds.
