Album Description:
Pink Floyd's More movie soundtrack is a highly sought-after 12" vinyl LP album released in Great Britain. The album is a significant milestone in the band's history, as it was the first album to feature David Gilmour as a full-time member, following the departure of Syd Barrett. The album's unique sound, combining progressive rock, psychedelic and experimental elements, remains highly influential to this day.
Pink Floyd's More movie soundtrack was released in the UK in June 1969, as a follow-up to the band's 1968 album, "A Saucerful of Secrets"". The album features music recorded for the French film "More", directed by Barbet Schroeder. The movie is a love story set in Ibiza, and Pink Floyd's music provides a perfect complement to the film's dreamy, otherworldly atmosphere.
The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, and it was produced by Pink Floyd with Norman Smith, who had produced the band's first two albums.
Pink Floyd's More album marked a significant change in the band's sound, as it introduced a heavier, more experimental approach. The album's opening track, "Cirrus Minor," features lush orchestration and ethereal vocals, setting the stage for the album's dreamy, atmospheric sound. "The Nile Song" is one of the album's heaviest tracks, featuring aggressive guitar riffs and pounding drums. "Green Is the Colour" and "Cymbaline" are slower, more contemplative tracks that showcase Pink Floyd's ability to create haunting, beautiful melodies.
David Gilmour's two instrumental tracks, "Up the Khyber" and "More Blues," are also notable, as they demonstrate his guitar virtuosity and experimental approach to sound. The album's closing track, "Dramatic Theme," is a haunting instrumental that perfectly captures the film's melancholic tone.
