I guess that's a reason I don't like this album even more. About the first half of the album, with the more traditional songs, are really good, but the other half, with the ambient music, is rather... as you say, it doesn't work so well out of the movie context. Yet, because of those more traditional songs, the album becomes really worth listening.

The film is worth watching too, though only snippets of Floyd music can be heard.  [There is also a song 'Seabirds' which strangely never got released.]

I just finished listening to the entire album. I liked it more than I remember. Anyway, I went with the Nile song. I also really liked the main theme because of it's spacey vibe and almost voted for that but in the end went with TNS.

Definitely. And I was surprised to see two other votes for Ibiza Bar for just that reason. Because of the similarities between the two, I would have thought most people who like both would prefer The Nile Song. It’s quite nice to know there are at least two others like me, who give the edge to Ibiza Bar! 😄

It’s interesting to see only six tracks (at the time I post this) have votes. Though perhaps not surprising, as if someone asked me to pick my six favourite tracks, these would probably be the six I’d pick....


It's rare that a soundtrack that is not put together from "best of" material has a consistent quality when considered on musical terms alone.

Main Theme for me by some distance. I do like Up the Khyber though.

Ibiza Bar's awesome but I like Cymbaline more. Tongue

I don't know between Cirrus Minor, The Nile Song, Green is the Colour, and Cymbalyne. I just love the 4 of them.

More candidates here: Cirrus Minor, The Nile Song, Main Theme, Green, Cymbaline...

I picked the rather un-Floydish Nile Song.

Main Theme is my favorite from this album. Cymbaline and Crying Song would be my 2nd and 3rd choices.

As for the first two albums I can't vote, even though I think Cymbaline will be the winner.
I could give up to The Spanish Piece, but usually I don't skip any track

Cymbeline. Not a particularly strong album from the mighty Floyd
