ZABRISKIE POINT - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

Ah this thing. The film is terrible art house trash. Yes I saw it years ago and had no idea what the heck was going on. I remember the end of the film because a house is demolished in super slow motion to some very creepy music. The music sparked my interest as I was always intrigued by psychedelic music. Having watched the end credits I discovered the music was by Pink Floyd and that really had me intrigued as I had only heard more mainstream music from them such as The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon. I began to realise why the band had the reputation they had.

Admittedly the album is quite a disaster as there is not enough Pink Floyd to warrant purchase, and there is far too much throwaway material for soundtrack buffs. The Kaleidoscope are quite a good psych band but I could have done without Patti Page. Overall this is an icon from the distant past and to be honest it has nothing of interest apart from the three Pink Floyd tracks especially the last one. Disc 2 looks good but I only heard the vinyl. Collectors only need apply.
