The music for the film was recorded by Pink Floyd during two breaks on concert tours in February and March 1972. Throughout 1972, they performed various forms of work at concerts, which they released in 1973 under the title The Dark Side of the Moon.

But for Obscured by Clouds, the band chose more straightforward rock tracks, without various sound experimentwith. There are a total of 10 songs on the album, four of which are instrumental (the introductory two, “Mudmen“ and the last).

The whole group contributed to the album, it is interesting, for example. the song “Childhood' s End“, which is probably inspired by the novel of the same name A. C. Clark. This song was written by David Gilmour and until Roger Waters left the band in 1985, it is the last song for which Gilmour also wrote the lyricwith.

Waters' song “Free Four“ first mentions the death of the author' s father, who died as a soldier during World War II. Waters then fully developed this theme on The Wall and The Final Cut. The last track of the album, “Absolutely Curtains“, incorporates a ceremonial song by the natives of New Guinea, which is taken from the film.
