UPDATE: From the For What It's Worth department -- Jodorowsky just sent Twitch Films 4 storyboards (3 black and white and 1 colored) for his new movie "King Shot". Nick Nolte and Marilyn Manson will star in this movie, being said to be a "metaphysical spaghetti gangster film".

El Topo Soundtrack
The god that hangs over all weird movies is Alejandro Jodorowsky, a director whose work is so consistently weird and offbeat you can guarantee it will never be claimed by the mainstream. The personality of Jodorowsky himself hangs over and is inseparable from his films, he seems to exude the physical electricity and magnetism of a cult leader, while his biography is impossible to differentiate from his self-aggrandizing. His films are designed not as entertainment but as mystical, transcendental experiences.
Nicely researched post about El Topo and the soundtrack from the movie at the Dinosaur Gardens website. Listed are 7 songs in mp3 format. link. You will also find the soundtrack to the Holy Mountain film.
