^ Unfortunately, I don't have any Tom Rapp & Pearls Before Swine albums in my CD collection, but I listened to them all on YouTube several years ago.

  Thank you, glad you like it!  I think it's incredible (I play the harp, so I know how hard this is, despite it's being minimalist).  Good to know re PBS, too.  Wonderful artist.
 
I've listened to all ten of Tom Rapp & Pearls Before Swine's albums and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. It's sad to hear Tom Rapp is no longer with us, although his wonderful music will live on forever in our hearts. Broken Heart
  Do you have the A Journal of the Plague Year recording?  Well worth seeking out.

Either way, it's still very impressive how Google seemingly knows what you're going to type into the search bar. Smile

My favourite piece of music from Koyaanisqatsi is Pruit Igoe:
 
 

 
 
However, the visually most spectacular part of the movie occurs during The Grid. The Grid works quite well with the accompanying visuals, but as a stand-alone piece, it tends to be too repetitious.


 
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.

Koyaanisqatsi is definitely the best-known film of the trilogy. It has even been referenced by The Simpsons at least twice to my knowledge... once even by name, as an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon.

I had to check the spelling on those two films. Smile
 
I have the DVD as well as the soundtrack CD of both these films. However, I haven't seen Naqoyqatsi on the big screen.
 
I also have the DVD of Baraka, a film similar to the Qatsi trilogy, but the music on that film wasn't by Philip Glass.

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.
Koyaanisqatsi is probably the soundtrack album Philip Glass is best-known for, although "Koyaanisqatsi" is not exactly a  word you hear every day. I think it's from the native American Indian language.
