Nope, Steve is right again: there was indeed music from Powaqqatsi. http://www.philipglass.com/truman.html lists music from that, Anima Mundi, and Mishima as being in The Truman Show. I broke out laughing when the Powaqqatsi music started, and was amused to see a shot of Glass himself playing in the TV studio.

See what I get for free-associating? All I remembered was that it was one of the soundtracks on Nonesuch that was plundered. Thanks, Ben.

I'm reasonably certain that Philip Glass recycled music from his own 'Powaqqatsi' for 'The Truman Show'... at least, that's what I remember thinking when I first saw the latter film.
Goodness, I think Steve Smith is wrong again. I believe they really did reuse Glass's theme from "Mishima."
