Pink Floyd: More

[Bert Muller]

A few weeks ago I heard an old Pink Floyd CD "Theme from the film More", or
something like that. It's somewhere from the late sixties/early seventies
period, with Syd Barrett on vocals. My question is: does anybody in this
group know something about this film "More"?

MORE released
Soundtrack from the film "More"
UK Release: Columbia SCX 6346. July 1969.

<track titles>
This album is the soundtrack of the film "More". The film was directed by
Barbet Schroeder, produced by Jet Films and staring Mimsi Farmer and Klaus
Grunberg.
Dave Gilmour: "We also did the music for "More". We hadn't done film scores
before - but they offered us lots of money. We wrote the whole thing in
eight days from start to finish."
Dave Gilmour spoke about the movie in another interview "... we wanted to
break into big time movie scores so we said "Okay" and he gave us six hundred
quid each or something and off we trotted and we did it... Later we did
"Obscured By Clouds" for the same guy."

It's from 1969, Syd is not on it. The film is about heroin addicts on
the island of Ibiza (whence "Ibiza Bar"), and sort of a hippie movie.
It was apparently very popular in France.

I love the soundtrack. They play a lot of different styles in the
songs.

Pink Floyd's third LP (1969) was the soundtrack to the film "More."
Syd Barrett was already long gone (so to speak) and is not on the LP.
I believe the film was directed by Barbet Schroeder. It's shown now
and then in artsy rep theaters.
