The album was the first to be produced by Pink Floyd without assistance from Norman Smith, who retained an Executive Producer credit, and the first full album without Syd Barrett, who left the group in 1968 during the recording of their second album A Saucerful of Secrets. The album was recorded at Pye Studios in London, in late January and early February 1969 with engineer Brian Humphries. Drummer Nick Mason later said the film was "ideally suited to some of the rumblings, squeaks and sound textures we produced on a regular basis". The group also speculated they could branch out into a career as film composers if their recording and touring career did not work out. Instead of typical background music, Schroeder wanted the songs to feature in the film, such as a record playing at a party. Director Barbet Schroeder was a fan of the group, and brought a rough cut of the film to London for them to work with. The film More featured a young hitchhiker in Ibiza who had succumbed to heroin abuse with party scenes and drug taking. In December 1967, they were featured on the BBC's Tomorrow's World, playing along to a light show, and the following year recorded some instrumental music for the film The Committee. Pink Floyd recorded several pieces of film music before this album.
