The music itself on the surface may appear strange, but I guess that the Coppola duo were trying to capture the confusing feel of the Vietnam War in the musical sense, which seems rather intersting and pretty sly on their part.
Don't listen to this messed up. It already evokes incredible imagery of the sometimes terrifying journey we call the human experience. This music is truly a bad acid trip in musical form.
Even though there's basically no action, this part of the movie is the one that impressed the the most. The stunning dark surreal imagery coupled with the eerie music... it's like witnessing an entrance through hell's gates.
"Part of me was afraid of what I would find and what I would do when I got there. I knew the risks, or imagined I knew. But the thing I felt the most, much stronger than fear, was the desire to confront him."
"Everybody wanted me to do it, him most of all. I felt like he was up there, waiting for me to take the pain away. He just wanted to go out like a soldier, standing up, not like some poor, wasted, rag-assed renegade. Even the jungle wanted him dead, and that's who he really took his orders from anyway."
@canibus77 WOW!! I thought I was the only person that ever related Pink Floyd to Apocalypse Now. I've always described the movie as Pink Floyd's version of Vietnam.
If anyone could please give me an answer do so. I'm trying to figure out why a couple of my friends really don't like this movie at all. They both love war movies, they both love horror movies, they understand wars, but they just didn't grasp the genius and insanity of this film.

What an incredible piece of music. I've got Voyage on my "Soundtracks" playlist and whenever it comes on I end up repeating it like 10 times. I just can't get enough.
what an amazing movie! the sequence when this was played i think really showed the true "horrors" of war (the burning houses, skulls, BF2 that had crashed into the trees, etc.)

@derBene That's the heart-beat that you're recognizing. Ennio Morricone utilized the same sound when he made the soundtrack for The Thing.

My favorite passage of music in a movie sound track, you wont hear a creepier piece of music even in a horror movie.
