Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi (1998 Re-recording of the soundtrack, full album)

    

     

 

A classic, a timeless classic. This is the 1998 full-length version of Philips Glass' soundtrack to Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi, released in 1983. It was the first of the 'qatsi' trilogy, and preceded Baraka by a long shot. This version of the soundtrack adds three tracks and includes the original full versions of The Grid and Prophecies. Listening to it in its entirety might induce a feeling of going insane at times (!) but there is no denying the power and brilliance of the music, presented here in its complete form. Highly recommended also is the soundtrack to this film's sequel, Powaqqatsi, which I posted here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nygpr...
as well as the third in the trilogy, Naqoyqatsi, which I posted here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q2Ux...
