Ok, maybe to most of you, these songs are not "obscure." I picked a favorite song from each album, from Pipers to Meddle. I thought it would be a fun poll, without talking about Darkside and up. And if none of these songs appeal to you, choose other, and tell me the song. But only from Pipers to Meddle please

My favorite pre-dark side Floyd would probably be the brilliant Embryo, which didn't make it on Meddle but can be found on quite some bootlegs. -------------

I thought these songs were going to be the options...
Never released with Nick Mason on lead vocals:
Never released but widely known:
Played live but never given a proper studio recording; a demo showed up on compilations:

i'd have to say its a toss up between a pillow of winds off of meddle, and maybe all of animals, though not necessarily obscure, but animals, especially dogs, was one of my albums of choice when beginning a night of excursions on psychedelic drugs, dogs was just the right song to blast off with, and maybe i dont think you could be aware of this dimension unless you had listened to it and the rest of animals on psychedelics , or at least some cannabis of some sort------------- DrZiltox |

Astronomy, Let There Be More Light and Cymbaline - all winners, can't really choose one so I'll add instead - Corporal Clegg, Narrow Way pt3, Eugene, Summer 68, Pillow of Winds and most of the Piper - brilliant stuff

Hi,
There was a single ... Point Me At the Sky ... or something like that ... the other ones I love dearly are Pow'r'Toch and Lucifer Sam ... but I think all 3 of these are a bit too obtuse for most folks here!
The album "Obscured by Clouds" is really just a bunch of songs and they don't make any more sense the way they are used in the film "La Vallee" ... and I am not sure that the songs were written exclusively for each part or scene, since only one or two of them actually fit the film itself.
The film is a sort of Royal Shakespeare Company meets the French Academy kind of thing for acting and actors, with a massive mix that is rather unusual. In the end, the inclusion of the Magupa Tribe is rather unusual ... and it comes off as just another stone'y sequence ... but it was in keeping with the theaterical experiments and weirdness around the time, specially the likes of Peter Brook , Peter Hall that were just about busting London theater in color and costume and then some!
"... Along the way through the dense jungles of Papua New Guinea and on the peak of /w/index.php?title=Mount_Gilowe&action=edit&redlink=1" rel="nofollow - Mount Gilowe , she and the small group of explorers make contact with the /w/index.php?title=Mapuga&action=edit&redlink=1" rel="nofollow - Mapuga tribe, one of the most isolated groups of human beings on earth, who inspire them to explore their own humanity, unfettered by their own subjective ideas of "civilization." The search becomes a search for a paradise said to exist within a valley marked as "obscured by clouds" on the maps. The film ends with their arrival at the valley, having endured much travail in the journey. ..." (From Wiki)
After what some folks in PF think is not a good film, but is a great concert film (Live in Pompeii), and another Barbet Schroeder experiment (More) -- which had a much better use of Pink Floyd's music ... the girl had all the music on the cassette player and she merely turned on the cassette player to trip off with the music, and it was nicely done, although the music then does not come off (Hollywood style) as important to the audience as it is to the person in the film! I think that Pink Floyd decided to make "their own film" ... and Dark Side of the Moon became that film ... and later they really blew it out with The Wall.
There was another film in the middle there, but Roger had problems talking to Anonioni, and the American Producers didn't like Pink Floyd that much, but it left the most memorable moment on the film in your mind, if you were not simply looking at the nekkid hoochies in the film! The rest ofthe film is totally screwed up and I wish that Antonioni had done a 2nd version of that film his way!
PF also had been involved in film before ... and they can be seen in at least two other films, even if in one of them it was just a taped sequence ... 1st was "Tonite We All Love in London" where you can see Syd Barrett playing the guitar. and the other is a Dutch Film called "Stamping Ground" and the PF piecein there was a filmed sequence that I am not sure was a part of the concert, but it is very Hipgnosis like dreamy weirdness inside bubbles. We never see the band if I remember correctly. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

Point Me At The Sky Is Great but I've never heard it in convincing quality. I have the impression it was a botched effort technically (mono, muddy and never digitally remastered), but it is certainly interesting. I don't think any album track by Floyd is that obscure, however, Obscured By Clouds title track is much liked, as is Childhood's End from that album. Ultimately, if you want to widen the spectrum, I feel that Richard Wrights project Zee: Identity is a very interesting effort, and the lead track Confusion would be my candidate as most obscure Floyd related track that is great. |

| From this list, I'm between Astronomy Domine and Let there be More Light, I really love both. But there are many other songs I really like from the period, like Julia dream, Careful with that Axe Eugene (Ummagumma version), the final part of Saucerful of secrets (Ummagumma version), Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sum (Pompeii version), Embryo (though I'd still like to get good sounding recording of this, apart from the studio version from Works) and well, of course, Atom Heart Mother, Echoes, One of these days. And many others. |

I'm sorry if the title was misleading to some, hence the " ." And I like many of the early singles too, like Point me at the Sky and Julia Dreams, I just kind of narrowed it down to one song from each album.  But thanks to the people that voted for something on the list, and of their own.

None of those were"Obscured" to me. I spotted Cymbaline and knew it was my vote. Excellent track and my favorite from "More".
Fearless also wonderful. I'd never shut off any of the songs listed.
Mile after mile, stone after stone.
Great poll
I am so pleased to see Cymbaline leading the polls. Gonna find out where you fans really stand!

There are quite a lot of titles (20 or more, I guess) which do not appear on any regular live or studio album - most of them date from before 1970. These are the ones that I should call "Obscure": Embryo is one of the most appreciated of these, but I use to think that it is a forestudy of Echoes because I have a bootleg of a 1971 gig in my collection on which the guitar sounds of the middle section were embedded in the song.
Nevertheless, I limit my choice to the tracks mentioned in this list (of which Wot's... Uh the Deal is post-Meddle btw). My vote goes to Let There Be More Light.
Thanks for this one. I have never heard it before. I think that the keyboard passages were reworked and used in Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun afterwards. -------------

Astronomy Domine is surely one of Pink Floyd's most famous songs. What's it doing in a poll about obscure songs? Pow R Toc H would be a far better choice from Piper.
Anyway, i voted for Let There Be More Light. This is a stunningly brilliant track with possibly the best ever intro.
Play it very loud.

I love those clips. Thanks Zravkapt and Oliver. It helps to re-affirm why Pink Floyd was my favourite band for so many years. Incidentally, like m2thek, when I saw the topic's title I, thinking it a not so obscure reference to Obscured by Clouds, would focus on that album. |

| ^ Indeed, that version of Fat Old Sun is stunning. However, I still wish there was an official good sounding live recording of that song on the pre-Dark Side years. I've heard some live bootlegs and it sounds really cool (sort of a similar way to songs on Ummagumma live or Pompeii). Indeed there should be a live release of this years, most of their songs were much better and much more interesting live than in studio... you could almost say that the complete versions of their songs were the live ones. |

From the list, Fearless, one of the reasons why David Gilmour is the voice of Pink Floyd. BTW if someone know any bootleg with a live version I'd be interested in the info. Here's a list of my favs (from today) from the glorious formative years and pre-dsotm years: TPATGOD: Chapter 24 (or Scarecrow or Flaming) ASOS: See Saw (the title track is not obscure neither STCTTHOTS) MORE: well, almost the whole piece. But I love The Main Theme (and the live versions of Cymbaline and Green is the colour just kick the asses of the studio versions; they seemed a little quick recorded, being fully developed on the road. But both, speacilly Cymbaline, aren't obscure as they are staples of their live act from their conception till the DSOTM pre-tour (1972). ZP: love the Country Theme (the Violent Sequence isn't obscure even if it was rarely played alive before DSOTM) UMMAGUMMA: The Narrow Way pts II & III (love the riff of the first and the second is wonderful). AHM: It must be Alan's psychedelic breakfast, specially the Morning Glory section (but could Summer 68 too) MEDDLE: Fearless apart it must be A Pillow of winds. OBC: Hard to choose. I love the whole album, Today would be Burning Bridges and the lovely Gilmour/Wrights duet (God, I love these guys!). ------------- Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante. |

The number of boots dropped considerably as soon as Dark Side made it ... and I think that the material for "La Vallee" was not released sooner because the film got delayed or there were issues with the film and what not. I think there were also issues with the Tribe ... and I understant that some material was shot without permission originally. The film also got crossed up in the cross language thing between French and English, and the film never made up "it's mind" ... which is ok for the story of the film, as you don't need it, but it makes the film muddier and tougher to follow and get a hold on.
As far as I can remember, I don't think I have ever heard, or found a single song or two even listed in any bootleg, even at the time, which I would have jumped at immediately on. The majority of the Dark Side of the Moon boots are all PRE the released version and featured a very different "greatest gig in the sky" with Syd Barrett doing his version of a priest doing sermons ... I never found any boots of the WYWH, and only one set of boots from the Animals tour (Anaheim Stadium Series) and then 2 different sets from The Wall ...
Been a long time ... a long time!
In those days, the boots were worth it, because PF was much better in concert than they were on the albums ... end of conversation! ... but when they got motorized and mechanical and all that, they may have sold more (how industrialist of them, hey?) ... but the ability and freedom to free lance died ... and there was none in the after the DSOTM era, when they dumped the original material that ended up in Animals. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I won't choose "other" on a point of principle, but this is a top list in any event  .
For me two stand out. The version of Astronomy Domine from Ummagumma is mindblowingly good, a seminal Floyd moment. Then you have the wonderfully atmospheric Cymbaline from the criminally under-appreciated More album. Honestly, I can't choose between these two magical pieces.

Truly obscure but now widely available Floyd Track (released with 40th anniversary of Piper): Candy And The Currant Bun Boy, I love that track. Sane Syd voice, a rare treat! Plus it has the F-word, which somehow got past the censors when it was released as a single circa 1967. |

This is the Live version that had Twyla Tharpe dancing that got trashed senselessly and I think that Roger and the band stopped playing AHM all together. On the bootlegs, this is the version that sounds like a lullaby. And it is really pretty and very nice ... and you gotta hand it to the guys to be flexible enough to try something different ... that sadly got trashed senseless and ripped by the rock press ... and later Ian put up a cover that had the dead ballerina, and I still think that it was a refence to this!

Astronomy Domine shouldn't really be considered an "obscure" Pink Floyd song. It was released in multiple forms and, while not mainstream, is not unheard-of by casual Pink Floyd fans.

The tracklist of the first is: The Embryo Fat Old Sun Green Is The Colour Careful With That Axe Eugene Atom Heart Mother disk 2 is: Fat Old Sun One Of These Days The Embryo Echoes More Blues ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

It doesn't belong in this poll and has unfortunately distorted what is potentially an interesting question.

Those BBC recordings should have good enough sound quality to be released... THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED!!! Then I guess I would have just about enougu early Floyd Live, which for me is much better than early Floyd in the studio. |

My favorite "obscure" Floyd would have to be: 1. Cirrus Minor 2. The Narrow Way, part 3 3. Embryo |

Of those I'd go with Fearless, outside of that it would be Careful with that axe Eugene from Ummagumma
------------- You must be joking.....Take a running jump...... |

I don't think those choices are very obscure so I go with Jude111 and say The Narrow Way. It's a piece of music that's almost never mentioned but nevertheless set a standard for the future Floyd sound. It's the foundation of Dark Side of the Moon in fact, if you listen carefully. But also of course for earlier works such as Atom Heart Mother and the whole of Wish You Were Here. |

The live version of Cymbaline from The Man and The Journey is the fashizzle. ------------- http://blindpoetrecords.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">

For me, 'Set the Controls...' is probably my pick. Whether it's the live Pompeii one or the studio, not sure. Perhaps studio, as I like the more muffled nature of Roger's voice on the the studio version ------------- We are men of action.

It's a pity Gilmour has had such a hard time hitting those high notes the few times he's tried to perform the song live; otherwise perhaps it would get the nod over "Fat Old Sun," which he has played pretty frequently but in my opinion isn't quite as good... |

Love both but would realy enjoy listening an update live performance, but you know there are so many poeples thinking the whole ummagumma studio record is rubbish, of course they're wrong

Yeah I like it I don't think it's the best of that era but I love the melody. However it's badly recorded, Waters and Mason said it was one of the worst song they ever did. To answer the question more seriously, I would go with any live version of Careful with that Axe. Runners-up would be ''Point Me at the Sky'' and ''See Emily Play''. Echoes and Astronomy Domine being excluded cause I don't consider them ''Obscure'' |
