This is the extended album of the Soundtrack for Zabriskie Point that never was, once performed entirely by Pink Floyd, now released by MQR. This Album is similar to the 1997 Rhino Soundtrack that was released with a bonus disc featuring eight extra tracks from Pink Floyd and Jerry Garcia. In similar fashion we here extend the Lost Album with 8 complete songs recorded by Pink Floyd for the movie and rejected by film director M. Antonioni.
The History:
In the summer of 1969 Michelangelo Antonioni completed the filming of his visionary and prophetic view of America and our society. All that was left was to complete the movie with a good soundtrack. Antonioni was interested in everything that was new and trendy among young people. Antonioni wanted original music for those sequences. Many artists and bands were contacted to write original music for the movie, but none of them was asked to write the whole soundtrack of the movie.
Pink Floyd produced a large quantity of music, especially for the Love Scene but Antonioni was not satisfied and the sessions ran longer than planned. In the end Pink Floyd went back to London with some songs to finish. Out of all the entire production of songs, including themes and variations, Antonioni ended up using only three songs. He kept on searching for "something better" till the last days before the premiere of the movie. In London Pink Floyd completed their final versions of eight songs with the intent of them being their eventual album for the Zabriskie Point soundtrack.
The Extended Record:
What is present here is the closest thing possible to the album that would have been released by Pink Floyd in 1970 if they had been sole musicians on the soundtrack of the film, but extended with 8 more complete songs. The mixes on this record are either the mixes made by Pink Floyd for release, or as close as we could make using the material available.
The Sources:
Some songs used here were released officially, originally by MGM in 1970 and then in the extended edition by Rhino Records in 1997. Other songs come from two celebrated unofficial sources, the bootlegs Omayyad and A Journey Though Time and Space.. Tracks 9 through 16 are outtakes not included in the album’s earlier releases.
This Album is part of the Complete Zabriskie Point Collection (CD1) and the box set called A Total Zabriskie Point of View.
