Koyaanisqatsi (Life Out Of Balance) (Original Soundtrack Album From The Motion Picture)

Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi was originally composed as a film score to the 1982 Godfrey Reggio film of the same name. The [url=/release/1342765]original 1983 album[/url] release of the soundtrack was edited down to 46 minutes to fit on a single LP. It was later issued on CD in the same, edited format. In 1998, Glass [url=/master/811842]re-recorded and released the full score[/url] as a separate release. [url=/release/2156613]The complete original motion picture score[/url] (with sound effects) was released in 2009. The piece called "Pruit Igoe" was named after the notorious St. Louis housing project, demolished from 1972-1976. Reggio filmed one of the 1975 implosions. However, it was generally known as Pruitt-Igoe. As such, the title was misspelled in all releases until the expanded version was issued in 2009.
