This is a loud and heavy guitar-dominated piece, reminiscent of The Nile Song from More, but not really musically related. It was another piece rejected from the Zabriskie Point soundtrack, but circulated among bootleg traders.
For those curious about the origin of the title, Fingal's Cave is a large cavern on an islet called Staffa, west of Mull Island in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. This title had been used previously by the classical composer Felix Mendelssohn (of course, it is perfectly possible that the titles for this, Oenone, and Rain in the Country were merely a bootlegger's invention that caught on).
