I first saw Mindwalk in a class. I can’t tell you which class it was or what we used it to learn about.  I think it was an exercise in understanding different perspectives. It’s an interesting movie, though I’ve heard people say that “Dinner With Andre” is better. I think it’s comparable to “Waking Life”, just older and a bit more preachy. If you can get past that, it’s a good film.

Two major elements of the film were especially lovely to me. First, there’s the setting at a beautiful castle in France. Then there is the song, written by Philip Glass. It’s a wonderful song – entrancing.

So I have been searching and searching for this song. I finally found out it was released on a promo disc in 1995 titled “Music from Dunvagen”, which is pretty much unavailable. I couldn’t find any old copies for sale on Ebay or any fan’s ripped version online. It’s not available for purchase. I searched and searched and eventually found a link. I had to switch my search engine from Google to Dogpile. And even though the file is on Philip Glass’s official site, it’s not linked to (at least as far as I can tell) on the site. I even wrote to the webmaster and asked about the link, since it’s mentioned on the site, but not linked to. He said it’s not available. But I found the link on this page: http://www.trumpetmaster.com/vb/f145/mindwalk-28112.html. The song itself is located here: http://www.philipglass.com/sounds/music-from-dunvagen/16.mp3. Needless to say, I downloaded it and if, for some reason, the link doesn’t work, please contact me and I can either send you the file or post it here on my site for all to download.

**Update**

The links above no longer work, so I’ve archived the piece on Dropbox for everyone. Happy listening!
