Product Description
CD Description
This was Pink Floyd's first full-length album and the first without founding member Syd Barrett. The album provided the soundtrack to the film "More", which dealt with heroin addiction on the island of Ibiza. The new 'Discovery' version presents the original studio album, digitally remastered by James Guthrie and reissued with a newly designed Digipak and a new 12 page booklet designed by Storm Thorgerson.

This album is a significant part of the Pink Floyd back catalogue. It provided an empathetic accompanyment to the film "More". When experienced on a stand alone basis it remains cogent enough to retain the listener's attention. This is partly because "More" shows how Pink Floyd were progressing as performers and composers. Interestingly all of the most mature pieces were penned by Roger Waters perhaps making an early bid for artistic leadership. The opening track "Cirrus Minor" establishes the album's mood, it has haunting melody tinged with melancholy. "Crying Song" and "Cymbaline" continue to evoke feyness both lyrically and in the music.
The remaining group compositions are of slighter stature in themselves. But they contribute well to the album's atmosphere and feature some attractive and exciting instrumental performances. "Main Theme" is dramatic and memorable and "More Blues" has some very tasty playing by guitarist David Gilmour.
I recommend "More" for the above reasons and also on the simple grounds that it's a nice record. The new remastered release seems to enhance sonic clarity and crispness generally and especially with regard to percussion and bass parts.

"Music from the film More" (1969) is the third album in the career of the british band Pink Floyd and the first to include compositions by David Gilmour, substitute of Syd Barret. It includes the music composed for the film "More", a hippy story directed by Barbett Schroeder. The music it's not as symphonic and complicated as the one included in "Wish you were here", "Meddle" or "Dark side of the moon", but we have to appreciate the simplicity of the songs. From the opening number, "Cirrus minor", which includes the beautiful vocals of Gilmour and Waters, to the sensual sounds of masterpieces as "Green is the colour" or "Cymbaline", we have a peaceful and very enjoyable album to listen to. But there are two terrible exceptions, the songs "Nile song" and "Ibiza bar". Both are hard, with agressive vocals and agrssive instrumentation. Of course, you can always program your CD player... This beautiful Japanese limited edition comes in a mini carboard sleeve, including all the original artwork by Hipgnosis. The CD is the remastered edition of 1994,and is a picture CD. Also includes a mini biography and the complete lyrics as an exclusive japanese insert. A must have for every Floyd collector and a highly recommended album for those who really enjoy warmful and peaceful music.

I understand it took PF just 5 days to write, record and press this remarkable album. It is hard to know where to start when praising this albums virtues. Beautiful melodic ballads rub shoulders with avant garde psychedelic exotica, punctuated the while by two heavy rock tracks that outperform anything ever produced by Deep Purple, Black Sabbath or other contemporary doyens of this genre.
This is one of Pink Floyd's finest contributions to our musical heritage.

One to have in the collection if you are a Floydie
I finally got round to replacing my worn out vinyl version with the remixed CD.

Hmm, interesting
Out of this and Obscured By Clouds, this is not as strong. Some intersting peices but otherwise necessary only for die hard Pink Floyd fans
