Pink Floyd - Zabriskie Point Sessions

Recommended Posts

From Aquarium Drunkard:

When Radiohead’s Ok Computer was released, one of the finest and most appropriate appraisals was that of deeming the band the ’90s Pink Floyd. I was reminded of this recently while listening to the Floyd sessions for the soundtrack to the 1970 Michelangelo Antonioni film Zabriskie Point.

A bootleg, the disc captures the band in November and December of 1969, pre Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, finding their sound after the departure of troubled founder Syd Barrett. Loose and expansive, the set is a fascinating listen as you hear skeletal scraps of songs that the band would later flesh out on future albums. This early era, often ambient, Pink Floyd has long been overshadowed by their mammoth and epic ’70s work. The two are really completely different animals and therefore should be viewed as such.

Very Cool. Thanks, Shawn! :D

Has anyone ever seen More the movie? Is it any good? I gotta go watch both of these movies. It's a good thing there is file sharing, because I guarantee they don't have either More or Zabriskie Point at the video rental stores around here. So I could see if these movies were any good before buying them.

Not seen any of them. I sort of took the approach that the films associated were probably too arty farty to be worth seeing and the music was probably more interesting as a stand alone. I'd like to hear what you think if you do get around to watching them. Obscured by Clouds (which I like better than More and Zabriskie Point) was the score to La Vallee... maybe you could include that one too if you haven't already.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
