Has anyone noticed the distinct chickenish sounds near the Morris section of "Taurus 2"? I wonder what that is supposed to mean?

Thinking along these lines made me realise how homophonically similar the title of Pink Floyd's "La Vallee" is to "La Volaille" (which means "poultry" in French). This invites a whole new reading of the album:

"Obscured by Chickens", "Free Range", "Lay", "The Eggs, They're in the..." etc.

Isn't that the "Morriss men" cheering?

I saw "La Vallé" for the first time a couple of years ago. It could be one of the worst films I have ever seen. I loved "More", and I expected something more in the line of that movie.

At 7:10... yes I always wondered about that... maybe Mike was trying to conjure a rural farmyard atmosphere; Morris dancers and chickens kinda go together. :D
