"Unknown Song" is an instrumental track written and recorded by the British progressive rock group Pink Floyd.[1] It has been released only on a bonus disc included in the 1997 re-release of the soundtrack to Michelangelo Antonioni's movie Zabriskie Point.

Music

The track is simple and consists of melodies that were used later; the riff that starts to play at 1:54 is a faster tempo version of the "Funky Dung" section of "Atom Heart Mother Suite". The main melody played by acoustic 12-string guitar throughout the song is somewhat typical to the band's later style – "A Pillow of Winds" or even "Brain Damage" can be heard as followers of the song's melodies.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Other names

"Unknown Song" is sometimes called "Rain in the Country" or "Country Rain" on bootleg recordings.[2] A similar piece entitled "Baby Blue Shuffle in D Major" appeared in a 2 December 1968 BBC radio broadcast and shared melodies with part one of "The Narrow Way" from Ummagumma, but it may have been rather a different – or even the same – take of "Unknown Song".Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Rain in the country Take 2 ends in Crumbling Land which has similar music. The music of Country Song/The Red Queen Theme Take 1 is also similar. A similar instrumental is named Love Scene Ver 7 in The Early Years 1965–1972 Devi/ation.
