About This Album
Powaqqatsi, Geoffrey Reggio's 1988 wordless visual essay on "life in transition," the second in a cinematic trilogy, anticipated the looming problems of globalization on the natural landscape. Glass matches Reggio's stunning imagery with music of "convincing grandeur," says the New York Times.
