I'll admit, I've never seen the movie Koyaanisqatsi. It has been on my to-do list for seemingly ages, but I am familiar with some of these tracks from the Watchmen movie that came out in 2009 or whatever. I find these songs hauntingly beautiful, bridging that perfect gap between the worlds of ambient and melody. The soothing leads are rich, sparkling and dense. Vocal reinforcement works in an almost orchestral way, and while none of the songs have lyrics per se, it does given them a needed human element which prevents this soundtrack from being too clinical. There is a mystical theme to some of these passages. Truly glorious stuff.
