McKenna (07)

Hello, Sundaze remains on McKenna's tracks, there's more True Hallucinations in another two great chapters. There's an avi video interview he gave on his mathematical studies into the I Ching in relation to time . The musical component is brought to you by Philip Glass, who initially refused to do any filmscore but was convinced by the director who had him in mind from the outset of his Koyaansiquatsi project...the result shot Glass into the limelight...What i post here is the dvd rip..much longer then the album release...there's two versions here a regular rip and for those that like it full a 5.1 version aswell...

Philip Glass - Koyaanisquatsi ( dvdrip 82min, 141mb)

Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, is a 1983 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass.The movie has no dialogue but does feature the Hopi word koyaanisqatsi, translated as "life of moral corruption and turmoil" or "life out of balance." "Koyaanisqatsi" is chanted at the beginning and end of the film in a dark, sepulchral basso profundo by singer Albert de Ruiter over the score by Philip Glass. Three Hopi prophecies are sung by a choral ensemble over the film's final few minutes and are translated just prior to the end credits:

"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster." (oil ?)
"Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky." (chemtrails ?)
"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans." (comet ?)

The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means 'crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living.

The film's soundtrack by Glass was released in 1983, after the release of the film. Even though the amount of music in the film was almost as long as the film itself, the soundtrack release was only 46 minutes long and featured only selections from the film's pieces. In 1998, Glass re-recorded the album through Nonesuch Records with a length of 73 minutes, 21 seconds. The re-recording of the album featured two additional tracks from the film, as well as extended versions of previous tracks from the original album. The album was released as a Philip Glass album titled Koyaanisqatsi, rather than a soundtrack to the film. The music has become so popular that the Philip Glass Ensemble has toured the world, playing the music for Koyaanisqatsi live in front of the movie screen. Two tracks on the soundtrack, "Pruit Igoe" and "Prophecies", were used in the 2009 film Watchmen.
