Thanks! Ya I won't download it.

Hm its very slow and casual (not in a bad way). Nice. I liked Childhood's End the best.

When people post videos of music on youtube they really need to remember to write a disclaimer in the description.

I think about half of Obscured by Clouds is really good. Esp Childhood's End, Mudmen and Absolutely Curtains. The other half is a bit meh. But it's ok.

One must keep in mind that it is a soundtrack and sound track songs and albums are made differently than normal songs or albums.

OBC was more "rock" than anything they'd done up to that point. It was a great indicator of the kinds of music they'd be making on later albums.

I've always considered OBC to have a very bluesy touch to it. Granted, David's solos always have some blues, but on that album it extends to entire songs.

Absolutely -- just listen to his solos/guitar work in Burning Bridges and its instrumental counterpart, Mudmen.

Yea, the bluesy guitars on OBC are great. I also really like the laid back wah stuff he does on Stay.

OBC really shows what kind of versatile guitarist David is.

I'm actually talking about way more than solos... The blues on OBC comes from way more than just David's guitars.

All I know is that David's guitar style is very spacey and has a big blues influence. Not just in certain songs but altogether in his career. From that he made his own sound. By the time of OBC I'm sure he was evolving his style quite a bit with the greater role in the band he's taken.
