"Main Theme" is an instrumental track by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd on their third album, Soundtrack from the Film More. It was performed live only a few times during the 1969 tour.
[edit] Structure
The track begins with a panning Gong that lasts as a drone sound for the whole piece; at 00:30 the Farfisa 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. The Farfisa organ played through a wah wah pedal (1:20) plays a progression of background notes over the drum-bass line, while the untreated organ plays the main melodic notes (2:10). The slide-guitar plays from the middle of the piece onward.
