More (2016 Reissue)
2016 Reissue!
‘More’ is the first full-length soundtrack album, and Pink Floyd’s third studio album, originally released in 1969.
More contains some acoustic folk ballads, a genre that appeared sparsely on later works. It also contains some of the band’s “heaviest” recordings, such as “The Nile Song” and “Ibiza Bar,” as well as several instrumental tracks, featuring their experimental and avant-garde approach.
This is Pink Floyd’s first full album without founder member Syd Barrett, who was ousted from the group in early 1968 during the recording of ‘A Saucerful Of Secrets.’ It is one of the three Pink Floyd albums to feature David Gilmour as the sole lead vocalist, the others being 1987’s ‘A Momentary Lapse Of Reason’ and 2014’s ‘The Endless River,’ and it is also the first album to be produced by Pink Floyd without assistance from Norman Smith.Â
‘More’ was recorded at Pye Studios, Marble Arch, London and engineered by Brian Humphries.
Two songs can be heard in the film that were not included on the album: “Seabirds” and “Hollywood.”
