The brilliant movie "Koyaanisqatsi" features a soundtrack by Phillip Glass. It's a non-narrative documentary depicting various aspects of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. The powerful images and stirringly beautiful music of this 1982 film are eerily prescient.
Watch it on YouTube.
