14	''More'' is the third studio album by Music/PinkFloyd, released in 1969 through Creator/EMIColumbiaRecords in the UK and Tower Records in the US. It is their first full-length soundtrack, for the film of the same name. It is also their first full album without Music/SydBarrett, and along with ''Music/AMomentaryLapseOfReason'' and ''Music/TheEndlessRiver'', their only album with David Gilmour on all the lead vocals. Though the film is rather obscure in the English-speaking world, several songs, including "Green is the Colour" and "Cymbaline", remained staples of the band's live sets through the early '70s.

16	Also known as ''Soundtrack from the Film More'', ''Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from the Film More'' or ''Music from the Film More''. In Europe, it was the last Pink Floyd album to be released on Creator/EMIColumbiaRecords. In the U.S., it was the last Pink Floyd album to be released under Creator/CapitolRecords' Tower Records imprint, not to be confused with the now equally defunct retail chain. Afterwards, Pink Floyd moved to Creator/{{EMI}}'s ProgressiveRock imprint, Creator/HarvestRecords.

51	!! A Spanish Trope:
52
53	* AllThereInTheManual: The '90s reissue of ''More'' has a detailed plot synopsis to the film it's meant to be a soundtrack for in the liner notes. Justified in that it's rarely seen in the English-speaking world.
54	* BriefAccentImitation: David Gilmour attempts to adopt a lisping Spanish accent in "A Spanish Piece". It is not one of the band's best moments.
55	* CultSoundtrack: The album is a companion piece to the film "More", which has faded away into obscurity.
56	* EpicRocking: "Quicksilver" is 7 minutes long.
57	* GenreRoulette: While Floyd's albums spanned a wide variety of genres over their history, most of them were reasonably consistent within whatever genre they were working with at the time...except for this album, which is their most varied by far. Even fellow soundtrack album ''Music/ObscuredByClouds'' is consistently progressive rock compared to this album.
58	* NewSoundAlbum: More or less. It's certainly not representative of the sound of the majority of the rest of Floyd's discography.
59	* OnceAnEpisode: "Green Is the Colour".
60	* OneWordTitle: "More", "Cymbaline", "Quicksilver".
61	* {{Scatting}}: "Cymbaline".
62	* ShoutOut:
63	** The Creator/{{Hipgnosis}} album cover depicts a highly solarized photo of ''Literature/DonQuixote'' fighting windmills, while Sancho Panza tries to stop him.
64	** Continuing on from the use of a panel from "The Sands of Death" on the cover of ''Music/ASaucerfulOfSecrets'', ComicBook/DoctorStrange is namedropped in "Cymbaline".
65	* SopranoAndGravel: "The Nile Song" shows us that David Gilmour could scream-sing if he needed to.
66	* {{Spexico}}: The Spaniard in "A Spanish Piece" asks for Tequila, a Mexican spirit.
67	* TextlessAlbumCover: As with the other albums in the set, the 2011 ''Discovery'' reissue removes the artist credit and album title from the front cover. Also aligning with those other affected albums, the 2016 Pink Floyd Records release brings the text back.
