That was the best use of a Pink Floyd song in a film that I've ever come across.
The guitar during the sex scenes is just mesmerizing.
Regardless if you liked the film or not...the music took this film up a notch.

It really does have an awesome soundtrack.
For the movie buffs who don't know yet, Noe uses Riz Ortolani's "Cannibal Holocaust" theme, John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" theme, Goblin's "Deep Red" music, Erik Satie, Pink Floyd, Brian Eno, and much more...
The star sequence of the entire film was when it flowed flawlessly from Floyd to the Funkadelics' Maggot Brain.
Those may have been the absolute two least expected songs that I ever thought would be in this film.
It was a welcomed surprise.
I once used the same Satie piece in a student film and was accused of using "the oldest trick in the book," in regards to adding mystery to an otherwise non-mysterious sequence. That being said, the use of the Satie piece as well as the PF instrumental really did make those sequences, for lack of a better word, haunting.

Wait what?
The Funkadelics are legendary and Eddie Hazel is one of the best guitarists of the 20th century. Maggot Brain is an absolute masterpiece of guitar work.
What are you saying about generic? That was from 1971 and it's a classic...highly regarded. What are you talking about?
I hope you just didn't like the film...but the music was almost flawless.

I'm not saying you have to love all of Eddie's work...but Maggot Brain is a masterpiece and he was only 20 when he recorded that. Come on...that's ridiculous and you know it.
It sounded like a mix of Hendrix and Gilmour. Fooking far from yes and santana!! That's an insult.
So which "compilation soundtracks" do you like?
shareWhat was the guitar track which followed Maggot Brain?
Bobby Beausoleil? I saw him listed in the end credits.

John Frusciante - Before the Beginning
It was written as a tribute to Maggot Brain.
Thank you!

The soundtrack was absolutely amazing! I play "Is There Anybody Out There?" and "Maggot Brain" on the guitar practically on a daily basis, and was in awe at the way both songs were used in the film. I also noticed a couple Salem tracks, a Brian Eno track, what sounded like the theme song to Cannibal Holocaust, and a few other songs I recognized (one from a skate film I haven't seen for years haha).
My favourite song in the film though was "Before the Beginning" by John Frusciante. Believe it or not, I'd never heard that song before and that wailing guitar hit me right in the feels when combined with the main character's nostalgiac pining for his lost love during that scene while he's tripping on Opium and remembering it all.
That track sounded so similar to "Maggot Brain" that I assumed it must be another Funkadelic song, but it turns out John Frusciante wrote and performed that song on one of his solo albums as a tribute to Eddie Hazel and Maggot Brain!
I enjoyed the narrative of the film, although it was very sad for me as it reminded me so much of a doomed love of my own from many years ago. But what really floored me was the combination of a perfect soundtrack and Gaspar's amazing visual style. The way everything meshed together was amazing.
All of the frusciante music was too good as I love his stuff so it distracted me from the film!!
