This is the first soundtrack album recorded by PINK FLOYD, it was recorded in 1969 just one week after their other experimental album, "Ummagumma," was being made. And like Ummagumma 'MORE" is a tougher listen for bandwagon jumping 70's Floydian fans since it is more based on serene spaced-out atmospherics with variety as well as various musical styles. What we have here are flowing psych-prog songs like "Cirrus Minor", "Green in the Colour" and "Cymbaline" - all classics - which are very opposite to tracks like "Ibiza Bar" and "Nile Song", the two heavy psych nuggets found here and jolting the listeners mind as they creep up. There's also the shorts "Spanish Piece" and "Party Sequence", a light joke by Dave that works much better than "Seamus" and a percussion based track with somewhat of a jungle theme respectively. We also have blues on the obviously named "More Blues", which it's quite a nice short piece with a nice guitar flow by Dave and some complex interplays & structures on "Up the Khyber" that shows Rick and Nick in the spotlight and it is based on the second part of the "Saucerful of Secrets" mini-epic. "Crying Song" is very dreamy ballad and would be an excellent follower for "Cirrus Minor", if it were not before the appearance of the explosive "Nile Song". The other three tracks, "Main Theme", "Quicksilver" and "Dramatic Theme" are all very grossly underrated. The first one is an amazing trip through Rick's synths and one of the better tracks from the album. The second, Quicksilver, is a nice trip as well if you listen to it with an open mind. And the third is the album's closer, Dramatic Theme, is a fittiong finale.

This album has its great moments and sadly is often overlooked and under appreciated (like Atom Heart Mother).
