Pink Floyd – Soundtrack From The Film "More" (Vinyl)
Pink Floyd’s milestone albums are today so embedded in the public consciousness that it’s become more necessary than ever to explore their lesser-known offerings, which can often lead to discovering some unexpected treats.
Their soundtrack to the 1969 French film More is one such work. Arguably Floyd’s last album to be imbued with the spirit of Syd Barrett, it comprises a collection of short songs and instrumental pieces with acid-pop overtones, gentle chillout textures and generally taut construction , with Roger Waters the main composer and lyricist.
Although the album was commissioned as a film soundtrack and the pieces were written to order to fit scenes in the movie, the whole work can be enjoyed as an album of standalone music. The range of musical styles is truly eclectic, and no track ever outstays its welcome. Spacey reverbed Farfisa licks, folksy acoustic guitars, found sounds, latin percussion, musique concrete, piano jazz, flamenco and even a touch of uncharacteristic proto-heavy metal make successive appearances. P
erhaps the most surprising thing about More is that it was completely written and recorded in just two weeks: a contrast to the increasingly lengthy compositional and recording periods that Floyd were employing for their mainstream albums.
