And the glue that holds the images of Ron Fricke, the cameraman, together? Philip Glass’s music, of course…nothing could dilute the power of a score that shows its prolific…composer at full strength. Ostinato patterns, high-speed arpeggios, convulsive harmonic shifts; every trademark was here…

Glass's score retains its power and, if anything, grows in majesty... his characteristic repeated chord patterns expanding rhythmically to create overarching, ever longer phrases.

Glass was soon reaching a mass audience with his film scores. His first Koyaanisqatsi, directed by Godfrey Reggio, is still regarded as one of his best.
