There is a new version of this which is unabridged.

The original recording of Koyaanisqatsi was issued at what was a distinctly uneasy time - for the record companies at least. The LP era was coming to an end and the compact disc was only beginning to enter its primacy. Because the LP, which was then the more popular medium by far, could rarely hold more than 25 minutes per side, it was decreed that the score for the Glass/Reggio film should be radically abridged for its initial release.

Fifteen years later, it is a pleasure to have virtually all of the music from Koyaanisqatsi on disc, including about a halt hour of material that has hitherto been available only with the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic and original 16 Nov 2010
Format:Audio CD
I've had this album since it was released and I still go back to it regularly as there's nothing else like it on an emotional level in my opinion.
Parts of it are so powerful and the only way I can describe some of the songs is 'harrowing'.

If you're not familiar with Glass this is the perfect introduction.
Simply stunning music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible 13 Jun 2010
By Al Stig
Format:MP3 Download
One of the best movie soundtracks of all times. It's inspirational, spiritual, uplifting and strong. In terms of works of Philipe Glass, the apsolute must have, and to me his best piece by far, every single one on this album.
Classic!
