If you would like some general info about this album please read on.

Cymbaline" is a Pink Floyd song from the album from the Film More Its lyrics vividly tell the tale of a "nightmare", which was the title of the song when it was first introduced in Floyd's The Man and the Journey shows.

The recording of '"Cymbaline" on the album is different from the one in the movie (the latter version is heard on a record player in a bedroom). The most noticeable difference being that the lyrics are sung by Roger Waters, whereas on the album they are sung by David Gilmour. The lyrics themselves are also different in places. One notable feature of the lyrics is the question posed at the end of the first verse, "Will the final couplet rhyme". Not coincidentally, the final couplet in the song is the only one that does not rhyme.

The song features a sparse arrangement of classical guitar, bass, piano, drumset, bongos, and Farfisa organ entering when Gilmour does a Scat singing solo. Pink Floyd played "Cymbaline" from 1969 until the end of 1971. It can be heard on several bootleg recordings. This song was covered on the Echoes of Pink" tribute album in 2002 by Maureen Mahon

The Nile Song is the second song from the album Many consider it one of the band's flirtations with Hard rock, along with the 1979 track Young Lust (from The _Wall") and 1983's Now John"" (from 1983's Final CutIt is written by Roger Waters and it is one of the few Pink Floyd's songs not featuring any keyboard. The track Ibiza Bar in the same album reprises almost the same theme. Andy Kellman of Music Guide describes "The Nile Song" as "one of the Heavy metal music songs the band recorded The Nile Song was covered by the Necros on their album Tangled Up, by Dreadnaught heavy metal band on their 2002 One Piece Missing EP and by Voivod on their 1993 album, The Outer Limits

Cirrus Minor is the first track . It is approximately 5 minutes 15 seconds long. It was written by Roger Waters and sung by David Gilmour. The song has a hallucinogenic, pastoral quality, with prominent keyboards and bird sound effects, like those that would later feature on the Ummagumma track Grantchester Meadows. It was also included on Pink Floyd's compilation album Relics Pink Floyd album. The song features no drums, which creates a rather unusual feeling. The keyboard sequence at the end of the song is similar to that found on the "Celestial Voices" section of Saucerful of Secrets

Green Is the Colour" is a short track . It is a pastoral ballad sung by David Gilmour. In The Man and the Journey" suite, it was retitled "The Beginning" in "The Journey" half of the show. It was played as a medley with "Beset by the Creatures of the Deep", which was a retitling of Careful with That Axe Eugene. There is a tin whistle or pennywhistle on the song, but it is not known who plays it. Some sources say that it is Nick Mason's wife Lindy.

The live performances of the song are considerably different. David Gilmour would use an electric guitar, there would be a scat solo after the last verse, there would be drums, and the song would merge with Careful With That Axe Eugene.

Party Sequence is the seventh track It is a short instrumental co-written by all the members of the band, and consists of a sequence of Tribal rhythms percussion, and a penny whistle (played by drummer Nick Mason's wife Lynette) playing the melody to "Seabirds", a song that Pink Floyd recorded for the More movie, but was left off of the soundtrack album

Up the Khyber is an instrumental. It was written by their drummer Nick Mason, and keyboardist Richard Wright Essentially, the song is an extended drum solo with added hectic piano playing haunting organ lines and unusual tape effects. It is approximately 2 minutes and 12 seconds long.

More Blues" is the tenth track. It is an instrumental track that runs two minutes and twelve seconds long. The song is one of Pink Floyd's very few recorded blues pieces. "More Blues" is credited to the entire band.

Quicksilver It appeared in shortened form in the live suite The Man and the Journey where it was entitled "Sleep". On the studio album, the song is about 3 minutes longer than this version, with a time of 7 minutes 13 seconds. The song consists of eerie sound effects and other Musique techniques, hallmarks of their sound.

Main Theme. The track begins with a panning Gong that lasts as a drone sound for the whole piece; at 00:30 the organ starts a progression of modal chords, that fades at 1:12 into a drum-bass iterative sequence, similar to, but slower than, the one featured at the opening of Let There Be More Light. A synthesizer (1:20) plays a progression of background notes over the drum-bass line, while the organ plays the main melodic notes (2:10). The synthesizer's sound is layered by an ADSR-triggered Voltage-controlled filter (type of Wah wah). The slide-guitar plays few notes from the middle of the piece onward

The Crying Song. The song is composed similarly to many standard folk ballads, with the only exception being the second chord. It is a D major with a Diminished fifth. A guitarist can play this chord putting his index on the first fret of the G string instead of the second fret which is usually needed for a D major chord. The fifth of a D major chord is actually an A. The diminished fifth in this case is G# (or G sharp). The diminished fifth is usually known as the Blue note in jazz music, especially in Bebop. In jazz music the flat fifth is mostly fitted into fast solo lines. In the context of slow jazz ballads the flat fifth is mostly well shaped in the basic key or the basic chord (see for example Angel Eyes). In this context however the D major flat fifth chord has a more dissonant character and lasts for a whole measure. It creates a very dreamy, surreal atmosphere. The song has four verses connected with a unison instrumental interplay of guitar and bass.

A Spanish Piece" is a short track running for 1:04 minutes. It is an instrumental using the typical Spanish riff accompanied by vocalisations in the background done by David Gilmour in which he can be heard whispering "Pass The Tequila Manuel", which is actually a Mexican Drink, as opposed to the song being titled a spanish piece

Dramatic Theme" is the final song. It is another short instrumental this time composed by Roger Waters, Richard Wright and David Gilmour. The song reprises the same theme of Main Theme, but mainly relies on David Gilmour’s guitar work and only runs for roughly 2:15 minutes.

I Hope this has given any new Floyd collector some insight into this must have album.

Thanks.

Mike.
