Hey there, Tatiana and other Floyd folk, I found this post of Long John's while searching through my old post at ER looking for something I once posted about a Dylan song.
I don't know if the links still work. Do you all ready have this?
Zabriskie Point is a soundtrack album to the Michelangelo Antonioni film of the same name. It was originally released in January 1970 and is composed of songs from various artists. A 1997 re-release includes four bonus tracks each from Jerry Garcia and Pink Floyd that were used in the film, but not the original soundtrack. Jim Morrison of the Doors wrote the track "L'America" for the film, but was rejected by Antonioni (L'America was later released on The Doors album L.A. Woman).
Pink Floyd's contributions to the album were recorded in November and December 1969, after the release of
Ummagumma. "Come in Number 51, Your Time Is Up" is a re-recording of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene," originally released as a b-side in December 1968. "Love Scene (Version 4)" is a
Richard Wright solo piano composition. "Country Song" is a ballad filled with chess metaphors. "Unknown Song" (also known as "Rain in the Country") is a relaxed instrumental. "Love Scene (Version 6)" is a bluesy instrumental. A track entitled "Fingals Cave" and another called "Oenone" were recorded but did not appear on the finished album.
Pink Floyd also recorded other unreleased material during the same sessions. Most notable is another
Rick Wright composition which at that time was known as "The Violent Sequence" and would later be reworked into "Us and Them" from
The Dark Side of the Moon.
