Editorial Review:
Concocted for director Barbet Schroeder's dystopian hippie road flick, this album marks Floyd's first venture into film "scoring," a task they undertake with a verve that overshadows their lack of formal training in the field. With just a handful of cuts echoing the trippy, atmospheric space-rock that was so much a part of their early career, there's a surprisingly familiar dedication to songcraft evident here, especially for a soundtrack. Roger Waters's acoustic ballads ("Cirrus Minor," "Crying Song," "Green is the Color"), dark and dirge-like, are familiar predecessors to music that would highlight Wish You Were Here and The Wall, while Dave Gilmour's slashing riffs on "The Nile Song" also foreshadow greatness to come. Moody and surprisingly eclectic, More has rightly earned its place as a Floyd cult fave. --Jerry McCulley

Rating:  - hey ho here a we go?
to begin with I absolutely abhor all the so called commercial stuff they did. Meddel and Dark slight of the moon and beyond were all atrocious LPs and cds.
This one, and the zabrisky point soundtrack and atomheartmutha and oomagooma are good staff also obscurred by clothsis an okay album yes?

Rating:  - The true beginning of the "Floyd" sound.
Pink Floyd does movies? Well, that explains the whole "soundtrack" sound they had. More is a movie about heroin that came out in 1969. Don't bother watching it, it's extrememly dated with some bad acting and a dumb story. The music, however, is not so bad, but the band is still unsure what they want to do. This is probably the most diverse Pink Floyd record ever, ranging from folk to heavy metal to trippy keyboard/bass freakouts to spanish guitar passages. This album demonstates that, for the first ...

Rating: - misunderstood classic
Some people consider More just a passable (or forgettable) soundtrack album in the legendary career of Pink Floyd. Not me. I believe the music on here is highly memorable and filled with exciting (and bizarre) musical ideas. Some of them really give me the creeps! It's NOT an album filled with pointless atmospheric ideas. No, there's plenty to like about this one. I'd say it's really just as exciting as one of Floyd's more popular albums such as Meddle. "Cirrus Minor" will certainly go ... Read More
Rating: - 2.5 stars
A difficult album to rate, in that it was written to score a film and, if any limits can be imposed on Pink Floyd, this one has been. Again, flashes of future greatness, with Roger Waters doing most of the writing, but possibly their weakest overall effort.
Rating: - More
Cirrus Minor from Pink Floyd's More was my introduction to Quadrophonics. I understand it is now called something else but back in the late 60's, it was something special to listen to what appeared to be a bird flying all around the room. More Blues took blues to a different level. Forget the drug stuff. This is innocent compared to much of the music one hears today. Just let the music carry you to exotic lands.
