More

Soundtrack to the film "More"

Release date: July 27th, 1969


Always one of the most under-rated items in the Pink Floyd canon, "More" is something of a gem. Recorded during one week at Abbey Road in March 1969, for a Barbert Schroeder's movie of the same name, "More" was an intermission in the Floyd's quest for the Great Work (they took time off from recording their intended magnum opus "Ummagumma" to work on this soundtrack album). It exhibits the more pastoral side of the Floyd, and showcases them at their most relaxed. Waters in particular-- who composed the lion's share, including such in-concert staples as "Cymbaline" and "Green Is The Colour"--displays impressive development as a songwriter.

"More" is also one of the Floyd's most musically varied albums, ranging from straight heavy metal like "The Nile Song" through to acoustic ballads ("Crying Song"), via abstract electronics ("Quicksilver"), blues pastiches like "More Blues" and musical "jokes" like Gilmour's "A Spanish Piece".

"More" was directed by Barbet Schroeder.
