Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi was originally composed as a film score to the 1982 Godfrey Reggio film of the same name. The original 1983 album release of the soundtrack was edited down to 46 minutes to fit on a single LP. It was later issued on CD in the same, edited format.
In 1998, Glass re-recorded and released the full score as a separate release.
The complete original motion picture score (with sound effects) was released in 2009.
The piece called "Pruit Igoe" was named after the notorious St. Louis housing project, demolished from 1972-1976. Reggio filmed one of the 1975 implosions. However, it was generally known as Pruitt-Igoe. As such, the title was misspelled in all releases until the expanded version was issued in 2009.
