    Kooyanisqatsi - Philip Glass

    Just sitting here listening to the soundtrack to Kooyanisqatsi...

    Jesus Christ it's beautiful!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Philip Glass is one of my favorite composers. His work on THE FOG OF WAR is excellent.

    This is a great site

    I'm still trying to pronounce that word in the title.

    Seriously though.....after doing a search, I can't find anywhere to hear a bit of his music. Anyone got some links?
