  I assume you know about the other 2 parts of the "Qatsi" trilogy? If not, I may have excited you...although the other 2 don't have (IMHO) the same impact as Koyaanisqatsi.
 
Also, if this does things for you, may I also suggest "Baraka" and "Samsara" by Ron Fricke? Perhaps more visual than audio but fabulously good.

Yes, I have the "Qatsi Trilogy" on Blu-ray. My expectations were too high for the second film "Powaqqatsi" after seeing the first one and I ended up being underwhelmed my first time watching it. However, when seeing it for the second time I liked it much more. The third film I like, but of the three I think it requires the most effort to learn to properly appreciate. What I find impressive is how completely different each film is from one another.
 
I'm aware of "Baraka" and "Samsara", but have not seen them yet. Thanks for informing me they might have a different balance between audio and visual so that I don't have the wrong expectations.

A shiny diamond, one of the many that Elton granted to people, back in the rise of the 70s, when his inexhaustible creativity & his tremendous ability to easily spawn exquisite melodic themes, (along with the lyrics of immaculate beauty by Bernie) were at their highest point ... a point, unfortunately, not to be reached again .... 

An excellent track, a beauty that could leave you enchanted or paralyzed, a little treasure buried in oblivion, a love song that is an attempt not to depose our private gods, not to tear them off the podium, because we know very well, that it will be us that relentlessly and irrevocably will be destroyed, us, the zealots of a religion that we made ourselves, in stifling personal impasse deserts of Sinai ...
