Roy Orbison also contributed to the film's soundtrack, though it might not have been on the offical release. He worked on a couple of songs I believe, and one, "So Young", mentions specifically Zabriskie Point in the lyrics. I don't think it ended up being used in the movie.

From the allmusic review:
"As a way of accenting the counterculture he thought he was depicting, Antonioni chose to hire a selection of contemporary rock performers. The results of this effort were mixed indeed, with some performers having their music rejected outright after weeks of work, while others left the project after arguments with the ever-evasive director. In the finish, MGM would tack on a Roy Orbison song by way of a desperate attempt to garner a hit single..."
Worthy of mention in the article. --Alcuin 17:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cleanup?

I redid the tracklist, and removed the cleanup tag. I'm assuming that on a various artists album that the artist goes before the track. Anyway, the 'tagger' wasn't specific to what needed cleanup. --Alcuin 17:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
