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.

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.
