Pink Floyd's third album was a soundtrack to the French film "More," directed by Barbet Schroeder ("Barfly," "Reversal of Fortune"). A movie about heroin use, the film didn't make many waves in the United States, but apparently was wildly successful in France, where it has become analogous to "Easy Rider." The movie's success in France gave the Floyd an early strong foothold in that country.

Soundtrack work wasn't entirely new to Floyd. The second recording session it ever participated in, Oct. 31, 1966, at Thompson Private Recording Co. in Hemel Hempstead, became the soundtrack to a film called "San Francisco." Floyd would go on to participate in two other more significant film soundtracks: "Zabriskie Point" in 1970, and 1972's "Obscured by Clouds," the soundtrack to another Schroeder film, "La Vallee." The soundtrack to "More" was the first album on which the band acted as producer. It peaked at number 153 in the United States. Waters also composed a song called 'Seabirds' for 'More'. The song was used in the film, but not included on the soundtrack. The film resurfaced on video, digitally remastered with the original theatrical trailer, in 2000.
