Sound Track from Film "Mabuta no Ura" is an album by Japanese experimental band Boris. Mabuta no Ura (lit. "Under the Eyelids") is not a real film but rather the result of the band imagining a film in their heads and writing the soundtrack to it. The album is very driven on photography and art-styling.

The Catune version of the CD can be found in local music stores and online. It has a brown packaging and story cards with photos and the stories and lyrics in Japanese. Inoxia released this on LP with a different cover and photo book, limited to 600 copies.

The Essence version of the album, limited to 2000 copies, has a different arrangement and songlist to the other versions, along with the LP album cover. It is depicted with the story card materials and lyrics in English and numerous photos. There is also a box-set edition containing art prints, flyers, and a bunch of dead flowers. This box-set is limited to 199 hand-numbered copies.

There is also a music video for "a bao a qu", although it is based on the extended 7" single rather than the version on this album, the version on The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked, or the version featured on Variations.
