About the Song

“Up the Khyber” is an instrumental track by Pink Floyd, featured on their 1969 soundtrack album “More”. The song features a fast-paced, rhythmic beat with intricate guitar work from David Gilmour and Roger Waters, and incorporates various Eastern musical influences such as Indian classical music and instrumentation.

The track also includes various sound effects. The title of the song is a reference to the Khyber Pass, a mountain pass in Pakistan and Afghanistan that has been an important trade and transportation route for centuries. It could also be slang for intimate relations from a rear entry position. Up the Khyber indeed!

“Up the Khyber” is notable for its adventurous and experimental style, reflecting the band’s willingness to explore new sounds and genres during this period in their career. The track stands out as one of the more dynamic and high-energy instrumentals on the “More” album, and remains a favourite among fans of the band’s early work.
