     fifteen years after its initial release, philip glass's score to   
     godfrey reggio's film koyaanisqatsi is still as timeless as it was 
     meant to be. glass's epic score, virtually the only sound in this  
     non-narrative movie, accompanied an exhilarating, wordless         
     meditation of images ranging from expansive, slow-motion           
     landscapes to whirling-dervish city scenes shot using time-lapse   
     techniques. glass's music was a perfect match. the opening chant   
     is still unlike anything glass has composed, a tibetan monk        
     operatic growl that set up the foreboding sense of loss the film   
     engenders. most of the score, however, casts glass's minimalist    
     themes in orchestral expanses. bass strings troll the bottom while 
     flutes draw circles in the air. on "the grid," manic keyboards     
     drive into the night, pounding out the cyclical refrains that are  
     a glass trademark. when koyaanisqatsi came out, it seemed opulent  
     with its orchestral forces, but always at the center were the      
     keyboards, reeds, and voice that are glass's characteristic sound. 
     koyaanisqatsi means "life out of balance," but glass's remarkably  
     austere score remains perfectly poised. this newly re-recorded     
     edition adds nearly 30 minutes to the previous cd release with two 
     previously unissued tracks and extended versions of "the grid" and 
     "prophecies," the two signpost works of the film.
