David Gilmour:
«There was some very good music, there, and although bits of it have been absorbed into the stage act, most of it we leave along. It's essentially mood music and if we were to put it out as a Floyd album people would, I think, feel a little deprived. MGM hold the tapes and I don't know what they might do with it. We worked on the score in Rome, three weeks in a primitive Rome studio working through the nights»

« The drag is that MGM has a whole can of our music, enough to make an album of left»

David Gilmour:
«We did the whole soundtrack. He only used three pieces. He didn't like the rest of the stuff. He was afraid of Pink Floyd becoming part of the film, rather than it staying entirely Antonini. So we were quite upset when he used all these other things. I mean if he had used things which we found better ... there were only two pieces of music in the film that we did, really, and the other piece of music we did, was like, any other group could have done, really. A direct imitation really of Byrds, Crosby, Still and Nash, or something.»

« For 'Zabriskie Point' we did the entire score, which as a whole was rejected. Antonioni is something of a megalomaniac, he used people who weren't actors so that he could get them to do whatever he told them. There was some very good music, there, and although bits of it have been absorbed into the stage act, most of it we leave along. It's essentially mood music and if we were to put it out as a Floyd album people would, I think, feel a little deprived. MGM hold the tapes and I don't know what they might do with it.
