Pink Floyd:
David Gilmour (vocals, guitar)
Richard Wright (vocals, keyboards)
Roger Waters (vocals, bass)
Nick Mason (drums)
In 1969, Pink Floyd
was invited to compose a soundtrack for French filmmaker Barbet
Schroeder.
The result was MORE, a collection that doubled as Floyd's first
full-length record following the departure
of founding member Syd
Barrett.
Unlike most soundtracks where composers are content to write one
continuous score, Floyd instead focused on creating actual songs to
go along with a handful of instrumentals.
Roger Waters' compositions "Cirrus Minor" and "The Nile Song" are
dominated by Richard Wright's funereal keyboards and David Gilmour's
slashing guitar, respectively, whereas other Waters vehicles are
more acoustic ballads ("Crying Song," "Green Is The Colour").
The other Floyd members' contributions include Wright and Nick
Mason's collaboration on the improvisatory "Up The Khyber" and
Gilmour's brief, flamenco-flavored cut, "A Spanish Piece".
Pink Floyd's strength as a space-rock band adept at dabbling in
textures and atmosphere comes to the fore during the four songs that
the quartet composed as a unit.
The success of this film in the French market also allowed Floyd a
huge step towards gaining popularity in a region where
Anglo-American rock groups traditionally fared poorly.
