	I'm not so sure about this, cause I really love the most recognized Philip Glass composition in terms of Koyaanisqatsi music. But those two songs are promising enough. I especially like the guitar playing.

	Yeah, I thought Philip Glass did the soundtrack. Am I wrong about this?

	Indeed, Philip Glass wrote the original soundtrack. We chose another musical direction, because of course there's no point in imitating his style. Hope you enjoy our soundtrack as well
