Not only am I seeing them for the second time tomorrow, but I looked this up because I just covered "Reptilia" in my biology class. Can't wait until tomorrow.
Wow, I really wish the lyrics would have meaning to the video, but, I enjoyed the video nevertheless. It shows how consumerism and a fast paced life style has taken over our world - and that, "the old pioneer days" are gone forever. Damn good editing!
koyaanisqatsi: Koyaanisqatsi (, ), also known as Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke
@Vleertouwer where was the movie filmed? cause the escalators looked like they were from this one mall in San Francisco, and i thought i saw the bay bridge.
This makes me so happy! The song is so perfect for this (cause Phillip Glass' repetitive insanity starts to grate on me towards the middle of all the high speed stuff). Probably one of my favorite movies as far as cinematography is concerned. Koyaanisqatsi plus Strokes FTW.
ahahaha..i was amazed..i thought this is the original music vid for this song..thumbs up..great..
