	Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack review
		Without story or dialogue this is not a typical film, but an experimental work which sought to provoke its audience into thinking about aspects of the modern world around them and in particular how our cities and industry sit within and compete with the natural landscape.
		The name "Koyaanisqatsi" is a Hopi Indian word which is usually translated as "Life out of Balance".
		The first track called simply "Koyaanisqatsi" is a typically minimal Glass movement where a repeating section for organ or keyboard is put through a number of variations where layers are added or taken away from the music.

	digital retrograde: Koyaanisqatsi
		"Koyaanisqatsi", meaning "crazy life" or "life out of balance" in the Hopi language, is the name of one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing films I've ever seen.
		While the premise of Koyaanisqatsi is that modern life is unbalanced, this isn't the feeling I got from watching.
		The city scenes of people frentically crowding around subway platforms and cars wending their way through highways like manic ants seemed to be just as natural as any from the wilderness at the beginning of the movie.

		If you had to accurately describe the music, you can say that it is composed of many repetitive notes, melodies, and samples all delicately layered one on top of another by electronic keyboards to create something alive and exciting.
		Koyaanisqatsi is part one of a trilogy directed by Godfrey Reggio.
		Instead of the dark sinster sounding suboctave notes of pipe organ as heard in the beginning of the Koyaanisqatsi, the music conveys a mood of cautious optimism through a simple ascending 4-note melody repeated on pipe organ (flute, woodwind pipes).

	Koyaanisqatsi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of balance is a documentary film directed by Godfrey Reggio which consists mostly of slow motion and time-lapse (fast motion) footage starting with a cave painting to footage of various natural environmental phenomena as waves and cloud formations and then footage of man-made events including traffic formations and desolate urban landscapes.
		The documentary has no dialogue but does the Hopi word koyaanisqatsi meaning "life of moral corruption and or "life out of balance" chanted over score by Philip Glass as well as a few different chanted in Hopi.
		I saw "Koyaanisqatsi" when it was first released in 1983 at a special showing outdoors at the Petrillo Bandshell in Grant Park in Chicago.

	Powaqqatsi (1988) - MovieMeter.nl
		In het vervolg op 'Koyaanisqatsi' uit 1983, grijpt Reggio dezelfde filmische stijl aan om ons de ontwikkeling van verschillende naties en de effecten die de geleidelijke overgang naar het moderne, huidige leven op ze hadden, te tonen.
		Dit is dus echt een sof na het meesterlijke Koyaanisqatsi.
		Koyaanisqatsi is energierijk met zijn snelle beeldenstroom en opzwepende muziek.

	dOc DVD Review: Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance (1983)
		In my opinion, this makes Koyaanisqatsi possibly one of the most immersive films in history, in a very literal sense, because the audience's thoughts, opinions, and views of the world they live in are as much a part of the experience as anything brought to the banquet by the filmmakers.
		Entitled Koyaanisqatsi in order to, as Reggio puts it, leave it without any linguistic baggage, the project was long in a state of uncertainty until funding and distribution finally allowed it to see the light of day.
		Koyaanisqatsi is the first in the 'Qatsi' trilogy, followed by Powaqqatsi, an examination of technological development in the third world, and in October 2002, Naqoyqatsi, an examination of how conflict and war define so much of our culture.

	DVD-Audio Review: Philip Glass - ‘Koyaanisqatsi’
		In parts, ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ is similar to Klaus Doldinger’s ‘Das Boot’ soundtrack, in others Michael Nyman’s score from ‘The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover’, both of which it pre-dates.
		Aside from a few deliberately steered surround events, both the 448kb/s Dolby Digital and MLP mixes could be considered conservative; instruments are spread around to the sides of the room but not in a distracting way, especially as when placed, they remain anchored in their original positions.
		In strict terms ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ is a 3/2.1 mix, but as is so often the case, the centre channel is hardly used, other than to provide a moderate ‘fill’ between the front left and right channels.

	Koyaanisqatsi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The meaning and movie translation of the title is a hint to the interpretation of the movie: the HopìikwaLavàytutuveni translates koyaanisqatsi as "life of moral corruption and turmoil" or "life out of balance", while themovie itself translates the word as "crazy life", "life in turmoil", "life disintegrating", or "life out of balance".
		Out of print for over a decade, Koyaanisqatsi was rereleased on DVD in late 2002.Much of the reason for the film's disappearance from the market centered around a complicated rights dispute.
		The film's cinematographer, Ron Fricke also went on to direct Baraka, a documentary which is oftencompared to Koyaanisqatsi.

	Koyaanisqatsi
		Koyaanisqatsi is Hopi for "life disintegrating" or a way of life that requires a new way of living.
		Koyaanisqatsi is obviously not for everybody because getting the message requires a long attention span, an open mind, and attention to detail.
		Watching Koyaanisqatsi on a regular TV won't allow you to appreciate it as much as if you can see it on the big screen or on a Widescreen TV in Dolby Digital with the loud speakers guiding you through the film.

	Locus Online: Claude Lalumière reviews the Qatsi films
		The soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi is vintage 1980s Glass music, fuelled by the utopian promises of science, shimmering with the potentialities created by the teeming encounters of ideas, cultures, and people that characterized the bustling twentieth century.
		Koyaanisqatsi is a breathtaking journey (although its achievements are at odds with its stated goals, but more on that below).
		After the inspirational photography of Koyaanisqatsi and the message-driven images of Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi is almost aggressive in its relentless lack of esthetic sense.

		That is the power of Koyaanisqatsi, its ability to surprise us with those things that we most take for granted.
		The trailer for Koyaanisqatsi is presented in anamorphic widescreen, Powaqqatsi in 4:3 full-frame, and the upcoming Naqoyqatsi in non-anamorphic letterbox.
		Koyaanisqatsi is a marvelous movie and I can't help but recommend this disc.

	DVD.net : Koyaanisqatsi - DVD Review
		Koyaanisqatsi was unique in being a feature length experience, one which not only could have a profound emotional impact, but which also became renowned as a really good movie to see while smoking things that most governments would prefer you, err, didn’t.
		Koyaanisqatsi was directed by Godfrey Reggio, a deeply religious man whose previous filmmaking experience had been in the world of “public education” films about the dangers of technology and the loss of individual privacy.
		It’s no surprise that Koyaanisqatsi is regarded as a modern cinema classic; even 20 years on, it’s still possible to watch it and see things in it you’ve never found before.

		When Koyaanisqatsi came out, it seemed opulent with its orchestral forces, but always at the centre were the keyboards, reeds, and voice that are Glass's characteristic sound.
		Koyaanisqatsi is part of a magical musical and visual trilogy.
		Philip Glass's film soundtrack "Koyaanisqatsi" is ideally listened to along with the film itself: a film without dialogue directed by Francis Ford Coppola, showing glimpses of life around the world.

	DVD Verdict Review - Koyaanisqatsi
		The potential of the Other: the image of the cave paintings is superceded by a holocaust of rocket exhaust, a painful, muscular lurching toward the stars.
		The title of the film, Koyaanisqatsi, is derived from Hopi and means roughly "crazy life," or "life out of balance." Godfrey Reggio, with the help of master cinematographer Ron Fricke, captures the essence of balance, an almost Taoist mingling of opposites, through the juxtaposition of images, environments, themes, and speeds.
		Even Godfrey Reggio admits that the film can be interpreted in many ways, as each viewer proceeds on his or her own journey toward understanding our relationship to the world.

	Koyaanisqatsi
		I don't think I can't put into words the impact this movie had on me, the power and strength of the message, maybe because the message is better conveyed visually than being broken up by dialogue that tries to express a view of society that can't be put into words.
		Being a strict animal lover, I was horrified to watch some of the bomb testing the heartless U.S. Government did on many farm animals to prove how powerful their weapons were to the viewer.
		Koyaanisqatsi is the most incredible, mesmerizing piece of cinema I have ever experienced.

	Apollo Movie Guide's Review of Koyaanisqatsi
		Koyaanisqatsi begins with an image of an ancient rock wall painting, and moves from there to untouched nature — showing spectacular scenery from the air and the ground, first peacefully slowly, and then with an increasing pace and sense of urgency.
		Koyaanisqatsi doesn’t come across as a blatant environmental ‘message’ film because the presentation is so awesome to look at, but its message is clear — we’re making a mess of what was once — and in some places still is — an amazingly beautiful planet.
		Koyaanisqatsi is an unusual and unforgettable film, and it’s not to be missed.

		Koyaanisqatsi, which was shot during the nineteen-seventies and released in 1983, is the masterpiece in the series, and a singular event in film history.
