Floyd's third major sountrack project, for Michelangelo Antonioni, didn't
go as well as the first two. After two weeks in the studio, much of their
work was rejected for being "Too sad" or "Too strong". Eventually, Antonioni
substituted tracks by The Grateful Dead and such legendary superstars as
Roscoe Holcombe and John Fahey. He did use four cuts, and several out-takes
from the sessions are available on bootlegs, although the titles by which
the latter have become known. 'Oneone',
'Fingal's Cave' and 'Rain
In The Country', may be inventions of bootleggers. 'The
Violence Sequence', intended to accompany a scene depicting riots at
the University of California in Los Angeles, with emphasis on the brutality
of the police, would resurface on 'Dark Side of
The Moon'.
