../Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=1439 - PINK FLOYD - Obscured by Clouds OST (1972) Review ( ../Review.asp?id=40400 - Permanent link ) by Tournesol @ 5:02:20 PM EST, 7/26/2005  —
A superb concept album.Except it is concept of the film director/script writers/ actors rather than Floyd surely???? I shall look at French movies, such as Emmanuelle with it appropriation of Krimson music in a new light now - a film concept which indirectly describes the advantages and pleasures of con(tra)ception.  |

Quote from the review "The film looks nice in parts but the Floyd are somewhat brutalised by being played over car stereos or tent-side transistor radios"
The reviewer seem to think the film was there to support this album, instead the music from the album being made to be used in the movie. Regarding movie-soundtracks, I think they're often conceptual in themes and storie telling, but like you said, the concept is in the movie, and the music is based on the storie, and is made on basis what the movie needs.
not a bad review btw. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

| I was a bit flummoxed by this review myself; it looked like somebody trying to find hidden meanings in the music that weren't there in the first place. |
