Grand Theft Auto IV GTA 4

[donnell351]

Anybody know the name of the song playing in the back of the new GTA 4 trailer....its a classical piece? any help would be great.

ahhhh....EGGScellent. I just saw it, recognized the music, and I thought someone might be asking about it. So here I am. Its music by Phillip Glass produced for the 1982 film "Koyaanisqatsi". Not sure exactly which song without some further research. Its not on iTunes, but I have the old vinyl record that I could give a listen to. Maybe Amazon has some samples. (EDIT: I think it is the selection called "Cloudscape". Here is an Amazon link to the music. Its not the original recording that I have, but its all that is available: link

Now there was a trilogy of these movies, all with fairly similar music so I hope I am right with the above. I will try to confirm by listening to my vinyl record soundtrack.

I actually saw this movie in a theater way back then and it made a great impression on me. Well worth seeing.

From IMDB: A movie with no conventional plot: merely a collection of expertly photographed scenes. Subject matter has a highly environmental theme.

More from IMDB

Koyaanisqatsi is Hopi Indian for "Life Out of Balance".

I think that might be an apt description for what happens to the main character in GTAIV.

After listening to the original motion picture soundtrack for Koyaanisqatsi, I can confirm that this music is actually called "Pruit Igoe", Side 1, track 4, 7:02 in length.

Some more notes:

The 1998 rerecording of the soundtrack is not as good as the original, according to the customer reviews found here. Of particular note, the original recording of "Pruit Igoe" is apparently emotionally stronger than the available rerecording. I believe the original recording is used in the new GTAIV game trailer.

"Pruit Igoe" is named for the dilapidated and abandoned low-income housing project in St. Louis whose destruction it accompanies musically in the film. Could this be foreshadowing for an event in the game?

"Cloudscape" by Phillip Glass

Get it at Amazon.

Good to see the original soundtrack is available at Amazon. The one available at iTunes is the rerecorded version.

However, it is NOT "Cloudscape". It is:

"Pruit Igoe" by Phillip Glass

Get it at Amazon.

This cannot be determined by listening to the snippets at Amazon or iTunes. You must listen to the entire track.

I read on another board that the song from Trailer 2 is:

"Arm In Arm (Shy Child Remix)" by "The Boggs"


Haven't been able to confirm yet though.

[goldengloves88]

thanks... i got it..

 

[Captain Caveman]

Looking for song title and artist of the song featured in the new Grand Theft Auto IV TV spot. I saw it last night (May 30, 2008) during the Daily Show. They lyrics go something like "I came a long way to see you, but I wish you were dead."

Thanks!
