A Saucerful of Secrets (1968)	Music from the Film More (1969)	Ummagumma (1969)

Music from the Film More (often referred to simply as More) is Pink Floyd's first full-length soundtrack. The film More was directed by Barbet Schroeder; in it, two songs can be heard that were not included on the album: "Seabirds" and "Hollywood". The album actually comprises re-recordings of all the other music used in the film, sometimes in a completely different form.

More contains some acoustic folk ballads, a genre that will appear sparsely on later works, a couple of hard rock songs (The Nile Song, Ibiza Bar), and some instrumental tracks featuring their experimental (or avant-garde) approach and their trademark spacey/electronic sound (such as "Quicksilver" and "Main Theme"). Elsewhere, they rely on distinctive harmonic and melodic progressions, such as the surreal chord progression in "Cirrus Minor" or the D dim chord in "Crying Song".

It must be noted that this is Pink Floyd's first album without founding member Syd Barrett, who was ousted from the group in early 1968 during the recording of their previous album, A Saucerful of Secrets. It is also the first album to be produced by Pink Floyd without assistance from Norman Smith.

Music from the Film More reached #9 in the UK and—upon re-release in 1973—#153 in the US. In 1987, the album was re-released on CD. A digitally remastered CD was released in 1995 in the UK and 1996 in the US.
