Commissioned as a soundtrack to the seldom-seen French hippie movie of the same name, More was a Pink Floyd album in its own right, reaching the Top Ten in Britain. The group's atmospheric music was a natural for movies, but when assembled for record, these pieces were unavoidably a bit patchwork, ranging from folky ballads to fierce electronic instrumentals to incidental mood music. Several of the tracks are pleasantly inconsequential, but this record does include some strong compositions, especially "Cymbaline," "Green Is the Colour," and "The Nile Song." All of these developed into stronger pieces in live performances, and better, high-quality versions are available on numerous bootlegs. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
The movie sucks. But you can usually find it at more obscure video stores with a "Cult Movie" section. The album, on the other hand, will never leave my heart. It is very much the leftover vibe of Syd though. Rest in Peace.
This soundtrack showed the influence of Syd. Simple. As the band moved on to Atom Heart Mother and Echoes they began a movement towards the symphonic and well arranged as opposed to Syd's fanciful and playful dittys. This album was better than the film in that while the film is rather long and drawn out the soundtrack compacted the best bits of the film: The music. I had MORE on 8-track in a '73 Mercury Capri. Drove from Chicago to Tucson and left it in for the whole trip. Psychedelic road trip
