The Final Scene of Michelangelo Antonioni's Masterpiece ''Zabriskie Point'' 1970 Soundtrack: Come in Number 51 (Your Time Is Up) by Pink Floyd ([Alternate version of Careful With That Axe, Eugene, re-recorded for the film Zabriskie Point]) Details: Richard Wright of Pink Floyd wrote a song called “The Violent Sequence“ for inclusion in the film. Antonioni rejected the song because it was too subdued and instead synchronized a re-recording of the band's “Careful with That Axe, Eugene“ with the film's violent ending scene. Roger Waters states in Classic Albums - Pink Floyd - Making The Dark Side Of The Moon that while Antonioni loved the song, he said it made him “feel sad“. Eventually it was reworked into a new song known as “Us and Them“, which was released on their album Dark Side of the Moon in 1973. “The Violent Sequence“ remained unreleased until it was included on a 2011 boxed set of Dark Side of the Moon, where it was named “Us and them (Richard Wright Demo)“. John Fahey was flown to Rome to record some music for the movie, but that was not used.[8] However, a portion of his Dance of Death was used in the film ~Wikipedia Pink Floyd's originally theme “Careful with That Axe, Eugene“ was included in his album “Ummagumma“ released the 17 December of 1968. The group re-recorded the track, in the key of E minor instead of the original D minor in 1969, for the Antonioni's Zabriskie Point film. «The explosion apparently represents the psychological separation from corporate greed, superficiality, and racial injustice.» New York Times - February 10, 1970 Track Link:
