This is the original soundtrack from the film "Koyaanisqatsi".
The title of the film comes from the Hopi language, and is defined as: “life in turmoil, “life disintegrating,” “crazy life,” “life out of balance” or finally, and definitively, “a state of life that calls for another way of living."

Directed by Godfrey Reggio with an iconic score by Philip Glass, KOYAANISQATSI premiered in 1982 and quickly became a cult classic. 
With cinematography by Ron Fricke and containing no plot or words, KOYAANISQATSI was interpreted by some to be an anthem for the environment and by others to be an indictment of modernity. 
Overall, the film was hailed for its pioneering techniques which have been variously imitated over the past four decades.

In convincing Philip Glass to become a primary contributor to the making of the film, Reggio found the perfect analogue to what he was trying to express through the images. 
The score that Glass composed was groundbreaking and came at a time of new expressivity for the composer. KOYAANISQATSI came at the end of the period when Glass was composing his landmark “Portrait Trilogy” of operas based on people who changed the world through the power of their ideas.”

A cult movie / a cult soundtrack!
