Antonioni's classic Zabriskie Point, which famously enlisted the help of Pink Floyd to provide music for the score, is receiving an airing on both German and UK television in the near future.

Stories from the recording sessions are legendary, with the band indulging in fine food and wines, before strolling down to the studios, producing music that was described by Antonioni as "beautiful... but too sad!" Some excellent music was produced during the sessions, and many of the takes have since been released on an expanded edition of the soundtrack album. There are also some unofficial releases with further takes. In the end, the most memorable track in the film is "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up" - a version of Careful With That Axe Eugene that is used to great effect at the explosive finale to the film.

For those who want to take (another) look at the film, it is being broadcast on UK TV tomorrow evening (June 24th), screening on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), a satellite channel, at 23:30hrs BST (GMT+1). Alternatively, our German friends can catch it on July 1st at 20:45hrs, on Arte TV. Our thanks to Hans Gerlitz for this info!
