Background
Music from the Film More (often referred to simply
as More) is Pink Floyd's first full-length soundtrack.
The film More was directed by Barbet Schroeder;
in it, two songs can be heard that were not included
on the album: "Seabirds" and "Hollywood".
The album actually comprises re-recordings of
all the other music used in the film, sometimes
in a completely different form.
More contains some acoustic folk ballads, a genre
that will appear sparsely on later works, a couple
of hard rock songs (The Nile Song, Ibiza Bar),
and some instrumental tracks featuring their experimental
(or avant-garde) approach and their trademark
spacey/electronic sound (such as "Quicksilver"
and "Main Theme"). Elsewhere, they rely
on distinctive harmonic and melodic progressions,
such as the surreal chord progression in "Cirrus
Minor" or the D dim chord in "Crying
Song".
It must be noted that this is Pink Floyd's first
album without founding member Syd Barrett, who
was ousted from the group in early 1968 during
the recording of their previous album, A Saucerful
of Secrets. It is also the first album to be produced
by Pink Floyd without assistance from Norman Smith.
Music from the Film More reached #9 in the UK
and—upon re-release in 1973—#153 in
the US. In 1987, the album was re-released on
CD. A digitally remastered CD was released in
1995 in the UK and 1996 in the US.
