also known as "Life out of Balance". this documentary (part
of a trilogy directed and created by Godfrey Reggio and
Francis Ford Coppola) is an awesome movie. (more info here)

Music score gorgeously composed by Philip Glass.
Remarcable, outstanding documentary from 1983, with an
awesome soundtrack you should all buy or at least do yerself
a favor and Dl it from slsk.

the second is pretty crappy in my opinion, I still need to
see the third. How does it compare with the first?

I found out about the one day showing of the third one
(naqoyqatsi) the day after it played in LA...I was so
bummed...

To see any of these in a giant theatre with a decent sound
system would be the best.

That was the same week I missed Chris Cunninghams' video
set...bad week overall.

these sound interesting indeed. could someone describe a
little bit what they are like, as im a little bit
confused?!

and what role did coppola play apart from "presenting" them?

wonderfull movie, music is bit sick but i like it especially
the end with expolding rocket in slow motion.......sad and
dramatic - it says something like "stop chill people".

glass is my favorite composer too, i recently found out,
especially his early stuff, i'd like to be able to play
music in contrary motion. i've had the koyaniqatski
soundtrack for ages and have liked it a lot, but when you
then hear, for instance, dance pieces, they sound like a
rip-off of that, and so with a lot of other stuff. icct
hedral for instance sounds just like a version with typical
glass instrumentation, especially that lame singing. 2d
favorite: score to dracula, thats good. all the piano pieces
i've written (2) are havily based on glass, some guitar
stuff too: minimal. saw a ballet on lowlands festival with 8
celli, i believe i have a cd by those 8, have to just check
the names.
that's what i have to say on this, besides that 3 cd opera i
like, einstein on the beach not: sounds so 80's, second part
of symphony 2 i thought the best classical piece i know, it
only might be too smoothly good
thank you for listening, goodbye

a dvd-a compatible player but no dvd-a's or phillip glass.
