"Up the Khyber" is an instrumental by the British rock band Pink Floyd. It was written by their drummer Nick Mason, and keyboardist Richard Wright. Essentially, the piece 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, and first appeared on Pink Floyd's Soundtrack from the Film More.
