One can the strong effect of the images do not miss this film. There you actually see the history of the world from the beginnings (cave paintings) until the "now time" (spaceship), all backed by the music of Philip Glass. About their artistic standards can be divided - some, especially people from the contemporary music field can start anything with him because he the means of tonality uses and therefore they consider it as unpretentious - the others mainly engaged interested in the aspect of the phase shift (Minimal Music) are excited as similar to collaborate music and pictures in this work. Philip Glass is one of the so-called minimalists like Steve Reich or Terry Riley who, however, found all her other way - but remained on the 1980`er years nurnoch a last spark of what we originally called minimal - the Qatsi trilogy. Originally saw itself as a countermovement to the European serialism was especially marked by Boulez. A similar movement mid 1960`er years was the sonorism but similar to the rhythmic superposition principles acted zwölftöniges material used instead of the harmonic component. So Originated in Ligeti somewhere even "minimal" works but just from the perspective of the European avant-garde way. However, the conflict between European and American opinion is far from over. The only interface are probably composers like John Cage and Morton Feldman, which are appreciated by the American minimalists, but also by the Europeans because they have a "third way" found. The Qatsi trilogy but for me the last spark of minimal music and the images are highly impressive.
