Amazing. That was so artful and poignant. The last two shots were just... fuck humans. Haha.

EDIT: Just watched the full film. It's very reminiscent of the "Quatsi" films. After some digging, it turns out Ron Fricke (the creator of Samsara) was the original cinematographer for those as well.
I really love films like this, and this is probably one of the best yet. Amazing look at at human existence.

This is from my work computer. I should do this again at home.

1. Johnny Moore - Sold To The Highest Bidder
Great country track with a auctioneer vocalization speaking at 400 words per minute.

2. Easy Star All-Stars - Airbag
Dub stars made an album full of Radiohead covers called Radiodread. It works.

3. Bruno Nicolai - Indio Black
Funky 60s/70s theme for a TV show I believe. Think OST for The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

4. Mathew Jonson - Decompression
Minimal techno from M_nus

5. Mad Doctor X - Deejays and Emcees
Remember puffin the herb from human traffic? This guy made it. UK hip hop.

6. Unknown Artist - Track 1
I believe this is from the OST for Chronos by Ron Fricke. But I found it in a compilation by Stay in Bed called Telepathic Fish.

7. The Field - Mobilia.
From the aptly titled From here we go sublime. I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Great trippy dance tracks.

8. Niyaz - Allah Mazare
Ethnic Farsi modernized music along the lines of Dead Can Dance. Haunting vocals.

9. Track 13 - Pirates of the 21st Century
OST from a classic Russian action film. Instrumental.

10. Nelly Furtado - Maneater.
Am a sucker for Timbaland beats. This one is particularly good.

And they said they had nearly 400 hours of this stuff too... they should have invited Ron Fricke over to compose it into something interesting.

Not that this is bad, a really interesting look at how an entire theme park was built in just under a year.

That was simply a recommendation of mine, none of the movies have anything to do with each other really.

Lessons In Darkness is different in that Herzog uses the imagery to construct his own view and understanding with regards to the Gulf War. I found the mixture of classical music, striking visual photography of oil spread over a desolate land with his incidental commentary very moving.

Baraka is also a favorite of mine. Though I hope Ron Fricke finishes Samsara sometime soon as well as the script is wonderful.

No, they're not schmawy. I'm wondering myself what this has to do with Koyaanisqatsi (or any part of the Qatsi trilogy) and Baraka. Admittedly, I haven't seen Lessons of Darkness, but it seems to come with a somewhat pretentious and judgmental attitude not present in the others.

Koyaanisqatsi ("Life Out of Balance") is a film by Godfrey Reggio that examines our manufactured world and how we are a part it. Baraka was directed by Ron Fricke, the cinematographer for Koyaanisqatsi. 'A celebration of humanity' is about the only description I can come up with. It shows us in all our grandeur and ugliness and passes no judgement. I still consider it one of the best films ever made. (The "meanings" of the films are my own interpretations and feelings about them, and not meant to be attributed to their respective creators.)

I love this movie.

Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance is a 1982 documentary film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by minimalist composer Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and natural landscapes across the United States. The documentary contains neither dialog nor narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and the music that accompanies them. In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means 'life of moral corruption and turmoil, life out of balance', and the film implies that modern humanity is living in such a way.

Philip Glass and the Philip Glass Ensemble have toured with the film, playing music live in front of the film screen.

The film is the first in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is followed by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between man and technology. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film. Still, due to copyright issues, the film was out of print for most of the 1990s.

I love all of Ron Fricke's movies and can't wait for <Ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsara_%282006_film%29">Samsara. Michael Stearns out did himself on Baraka.

This is from the movie Chronos by Ron Fricke. This is the same man who brought us Baraka and worked on Koyaanisqatsi.
Original music by Michael Stearns.

This is my favorite part of the critically acclaimed film Baraka by Ron Fricke, the cinematographer for Koyaanisqatsi.

In addition to making comparisons between natural and technological phenomena, such as in Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka searches for a universal cultural perspective: for instance, following a shot of an elaborate tattoo on a Japanese bather with one of Native Australian tribal paint.

The title Baraka is a word which means blessing in many different languages. The score provided by Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard (from Dead Can Dance) and Michael Stearns is noticeably different from the minimalist one provided by Philip Glass for Koyaanisqatsi. Notable music was also contributed by the band Brother.

I urge people to watch the film in it's entirety in the links provided here.
