Back in the early 80's, I saw an incredible film on PBS. I always remembered that Philip Glass was the composer. His unique repetitive high-tech style is played over a video of urban life that is accelerated to show the fast paced nature of the world. The combination is mesmerizing.
Now, with the impetus of his Best Score nomination for Notes On A Scandal and the marvel of the Internet, I have finally found it on his site.
The work is called Koyaanisqatsi.

I saw the premiere of a Phillip Glass opera about Columbus at the Met back in '92. It was a little beyond me back then. His score to Notes on a Scandal is spectacular though. In my opinion it's one of the main reasons the film is so powerful.
