Release date: 1970

Music From "The Body" is a soundtrack album to a documentary film by Roy Battersby, about human biology, titled "The Body" (1970). The soundtrack was composed and played by Roger Waters and Ron Geesin. Only four of the tracks have vocals, all done by Waters. These songs are reminiscient of "If"; the rest of the album is a bit like the weirder parts of the "Atom Heart Mother" suite.

According to the book "The Pink Floyd: In the Flesh", Roger was working on this project, and needed a band. As the other Pink Floyd members were on holiday he called them to play as session musicians.
