Is it 4/4?
It kind of borders on being pompous.
And it goes on forever.
At least Copeland knew when to end a song; e.g. Fanfare.
...and maybe it is the length it is since it was scored for a film sequence.
Maybe find a film forum and complain about that instead?

BURN! Fairly certain that little troll toddled off and won't be back for that to sail over its head.
Music aside, I LOVE the Wikipedia photo for Glass signing autographs.
I imagine him saying, "Yes dear, and how do you spell that?"
I saw an artist ask a woman if she wanted him to sign the painting she was buying. She hesitated then said, "how big is you signature?" He looked a little stunned and confused, than said, "I can write in a lot of different sizes." I haven't stopped laughing yet
Seriously, though, it's great.
I'll always see Truman stopping the bus.
I always see the mine workers in Powaqqatsi.
Any Philip Glass gets high marks from me. But there's a little joke I hear awhile back ....
knock-knock-who's-there-knock-knock-who's-there-knock-knock-who's-there-knock-knock-who's-there-philip-glass.
But I find the repetitiveness so soothing. Why I love PG.

Yep. Me, too.
I get it - the type of post Philip Glass would write.
How is this dude not dead yet? Gah. Can't stand his music.
Well, I sure can stand it. And you seriously think he deserves death because you don't like his art? Seriously? Regardless of the 2nd amendment, this is why everyone shouldn't have a gun. There should be some demonstration of responsibility first. We don't let felons have guns. We shouldn't let whack jobs have them either.
Epic use of this in the mask.. No wait... Ace ventura
Too funny.
Wonderful music very specific and easily recognizable style of Mr.Glass
That's the true trick of this music .. when you hear it in Truman Show, its used to show his mind opening and progression into "what if".
in the quatsi film I think it was the background to workers climbing the walls of a mine with bags and baskets of dirt on their backs, shoulders, and heads and in that context I think of ants in the colony, doing but never truely getting the fruits of their labor..
I was sure this is from Truman Show, and ding, I am mistaken, it was elsewhere too.

Looks like Anthem Part 2 is from the Truman Show (one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies).

Reddit worthy commentary.
In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.
spot on!
To me this sounds like Fanfare for the Common Man meets Colonel Bogey March, with a dash of Chariots of Fire.
I like it, in spite of this observation.
i also heard fanfare for the common man, so much so that it made me wanna go listen to it
Those films were directed by Ron Fricke, who was the Qatsi trilogy cinematographer. Yes, you can certainly see echoes of the Qatsi trilogy in his films. And I enjoy those films very much. But yes, the Qatsi films are quite different, not in the least because of the closely tracked Glass soundtrack. :-)
... with Vangelis hovering in the wings! I find this more accessible than previous parts for his ouvre.

Classy. Most of us can barely stand folks with your kind of attitude. For one thing, WTF? For another, the documentary and the music are all but inseparable, and the visuals and their compound effects, like the musical accompaniment, were brilliant. What planet of perfection do you live on?
Your RP handle speaks volumes. Ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger Effect?

Powaqqatski is visually and aurally stunning!!! Bought the DVD through the RP Amazon link because I heard this on RP. Thanks BillG and Rebecca!!!
It would be more accurate to say The Truman Show made use of it in the soundtrack.
Either way, thanks for reminding me where I know this from!
And to this is REALLY self-absorbed and pompous, but it's so openly, honestly so that I appreciate if for what it is.

Nearly perfect, after that Afro Celt-Big Cat nightmare ~
Agreed.

Our AirBnB had the DVD for Truman Show in it, so we watched it while we were there.
This song just reminds me of the beach now. :)
Your sequencing is backwards, if I understand you correctly. This album was released in 1988, while the Alt-J song was released in 2012.
From fstopper.com: Chances are you've heard of Alt-J or could recognize several of their hit songs currently being played on every indie rock station. What you may not know is that their song Taro was written about the first female war photojournalist and her life partner who both died doing what they love.
Amen!
Interesting. I wonder why Alt-J used the still from the film that this is a soundtrack of? Quite a film and quite a soundtrack, furshur!
Funny. What you call a 'movie', I thought was the 'visualtrack' to the music.
I've forgotten the visuals, and still this soundtrack is a 10.
Right on JS!
Yes, an amazing piece of music. But, also, though it is little heard, the soundtrack he did 20+ years ago for a Paul Schrader film on Yukio Mishima was stunning as well. But Powaqqatsi is stupendous because it is married to eye-popping evocative real time documentary images, not recreated drama.
Uhh, there is some played here, perhaps most prominently one of the greatest movie scores ever, The Last Temptation of Christ by Peter Gabriel. You really should put your ears on.
Wow.
Watch the paint dry, in time.
Is it 4/4?
Sounds like 5/4 to me...
