4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but it is abridged. There is a new version out., 3 Dec 2002

By	Roy E. Hayden (Brentwood, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

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 Gut wrenching inspiration., 4 Nov 1999

By	martin.hyndman@smlawpub.co.uk - See all my reviews

Once you follow any one of the musical threads in any of the tracks of this album, then let your mind lose focus and notice the twists, turns and new musical "plays". It is effortless genius and I love the incredible power that surges from the musicians/chorus during the many build-up finales.

As with all favourite albums there are associated memories too. When I saw the film/heard the soundtrack I just gave up on my 2nd year degree exam revision. I had to take a huge step back and take a long hard look at life/universe etc. 1984 was a very important crossroad for me which this album with its complexity and power fully embodies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable, 3 May 2006

By	RD "RD" (England) - See all my reviews

Fascinating, it would be unthinkable to live without it! If you like this, try the sublime Ontayso/Tim Koch release 'Where have you been'?. Both great!
