I do like Glass, I saw him at Big Ears Festival in '16 as a duo with Laurie Anderson. I say a live performance of  Koyaanisqatsi in Boston last year with the movie running behind the musicians. To be honest I found it too disturbing to stay for the whole show and left after about an hour. It was extremely powerful.

I do like both the Glassworks and Koyaanisqatsi as albums.

The two follow-up DVD's in the "Qatsi" trilogy are very good too:- Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002).
 
I had to check the spelling on those two films. Smile

I need to get that soundtrack......which could have been in the recent thread on soundtracks.

If only someone could make the Orange Goblin in office  watch the film with his eyes taped open like the dude in Clockwork Orange. Wink

I'd love to have posted the nine-part Koyaanisqatsi movie here, but Parts 3 & 4 were missing on YouTube due to copyright issues.
 
 
I have the DVD of the movie as well as the soundtrack CD. But to get the full benefit, you need to see it on the big screen, preferably with some psychotropics.  Cool
 
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I've probably seen hundreds of artists in concert, but none had the captivating effect he did. Genius.
Philip Glass' early albums from the 1970's sound very repetitious, but I love his mesmerising soundtrack albums and complete symphonies. I'll post some more of his soundtracks later on this thread if they're still available on YouTube. Three of my particular favourites are:- The Hours; The Illusionist; & Notes on a Scandal, all of which I've seen several times on DVD.

My all-time favourite classical composer is Philip Glass and this thread is intended as a celebration of his magnificent works, starting with "The Light" (1987) from Symphony No. 4,  "Heroes"
