Anybody ever seen this film? If not, i would recommend making it a point to view it. I dont think i can describe in words how this film makes me feel. |

| | | | I heard the soundtrack years before I saw it (and enjoyed it, for some bizzare reason, I love Philip Glass). Pretty good movie it is interesting watching the evolution of everything.. yet how some thigns remain the same..
I haven't seen the other 2 movies in the "Qatsi" series yet. |

Used to watch it more frequently than I do now.
Maybe I'll fire it up tonight...
Anyone heard "Einstein on the beach" extra points if you've seen or heard a live remake.
If you like Philip Glass its a must get... the music is pretty challenging.
For some reason I have an absolute fascination with "knee play 2". Absolutely incredible. Its very challenging to try to keep up with those vocals, you just cant enunciate words that fast... |

All three = Very cool.
But it could have been that mushroom pizza we chowed on (20 or so years ago) that made them seem so great...
