dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
Very nice.
HAMFISTsays...This song is on the Hackers soundtrack, no?
plastiquemonkey(googles)
yes, "cowgirl" is. in this video, it starts with the people on the escalators in grand central station.
antI love this song!!
ookooksays...I find this a bit off-putting; the video is nothing but long segments from Koyaanisquatsi rearranged with different music. You could put almost any high-tempo music to that video and it'd work, but the original Philip Glass soundtrack fit a lot better... and the movie's pacing, its ebb and flow, was lost in this recut, which just stays at exactly the same pace from start to finish.
I'm normally a big fan of mashups and fanvids and such, but only when they add to or change or improve upon or at least *do something new* to the original material. This just seems like less, rather than more.
cardboardhutsays...If anyone hasnt seen Koyaanisqatsi...highly recommended. The changed sountrack puts a very different feel to the footage. The Philip Glass soundtrack eventually makes you nauseated (which I believe was the intended effect). Actually I found it funny that just as soon as I felt I couldn't take any more in the original film, they cut to the slower clouds sequence.
