"More" is Pink Floyd's first attempt to write a soundtrack.
Released on 27 of July in 1969 it is their first album without Syd Barret.
There is a variety of songs here, from acoustic folk ballads to blues-rock songs and avant-garde experimentals.
13 songs are included in the album:
1."Cirrus minor". First one is a quiet song and starts with the sound of singing birds. The hammond organ dominates.
2."The Nile song". Pissed vocals and bluesy solos reveals another side of Floyd in this song.
3."Crying song". Tempo is slowing down again in this song after the hard rock "Nile Song", and we are listening again the acoustic guitar. A smooth electric solo fades away with the song.
4. "Up the khyber" is a mini instrumental psychedelic song with strong elements of jazz. Written by Wright and Mason, as one would expect, keyboards and drums are having the first role.
5. "Green is the color". Back to acoustic guitars with David Gilmour's voice and a folk theme.
6. "Cymbaline" it is a song that D. Gilmour still plays live on his gigs.
7."Party Sequence". A little eastern sound pass.
8."Main Theme" is another instrumental song with the guitar playing with melodies in high notes.
9."Ibiza Bar" is rocking again.
10."More Blues" it is exactly what the name of the song promises!
11."Quicksilver". Instrumental song composed of different sounds...
12."A Spanish piece" Short in duration song with flamenco style guitars and spoken words.
13."Dramatic theme". Last song for the "More" soundtrack is instrumental again and has all the characteristics of the Pink Floyd music.

For people who are listening for first time Pink Floyd, maybe it is not the best record to start, cause songs here are made especially for the soundtrack, and are fitted to it, in result to having some kind of limitations. So it is better to listen first the other albums and leave "More" for last.
For the fans now, it is a sample for what is going to follow to their next albums and a chance to listen a soundtrack from the late 60's and why not to buy and watch the movie too.
