Zabriskie Point!!??

What is your take on the movie Zabriskie Point?

Personally, I think the movie itself is extremely boring and does a poor job utilizing the soundtrack. Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, and The Youngbloods all added pieces to this soundtrack. The movie was supposed to be Michelangelo Antonioni's breakthrough masterpiece, but obvoiusly it wasn't.

I've only seen the Come In Number 51 bit with the exploding stuff. But the soundtrack is nice.

Never seen movie but it's my Favorite Floyd right now. Anybody know what the words are that Number 51's psychedelic whispers are saying? I've searched but haven't found the answer yet.

Isn't it just gibberish?

A different version of Careful With That Axe Eugene?

It doesn't sound gibberish when compared to Heart Beat Pig Meat.
Wonder if it would make more sense played backwards?

Waiting with baited breath for my Rhino 2cd soundtrack to finally arrive........

I never managed to watch it entirely.

It just about put me to sleep when I watched it

No, because they didn't record it backwards. It's just Roger making up stuff as he goes (see the "Several Species" Pict rant and the megaphone mumbling at the end of "Waiting for the Worms" for other examples of this).

Is this any good? If its even as good as more wich snt my fave PF album but is still pretty decent then id buy it, but there also seems to be a loads othr crap on ther

"Crumbling Land" is pretty wicked, the other tracks are interesting at first but don't make for particularly essential listening.

I am waiting for a copy to arrive in the mail soon too

This is the one Pink Floyd album I do not have. I know there are several versions of this available, does anyone have any reccomendations as to which one I should get?

Rhino Records' 2-disc anniversary edition is the way to go. The rest of the tracks you can download for free.

you better check it out, i mean teh whole movie, it really is interesting and...pleasant...has great scenes, especially the one in Zabriskie Point Valley (love theme)
