Wow.. downloaded a lot of Philip Glass today and got myself a new favourite. I've had a few Glass mp3's, and they were good, but I never knew.. Are there anything else like this around? Most of the music I listen to is pure tripe compared to this. |

his stuff with ravi shankar is especially good.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I have to agree that a lot of his stuff is really good. I seen him in concert when he came to Arizona. He played the music to Dracula (the old one) behind a scrim that was opaque at times so you can see them play. If you haven't already get Koyaanisqatsi, Kundun, the colaboration with Ravi Shankar and The Kronos Quartet. |

Phillip Glass is brilliant,didnt know he worked with ravi shankar,going to have to look for that now :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
Ah.. Koyaanisqatsi. Heard parts of that before. Good to see that so many on soulseek got his music. I love my dsl. Do you know of anybody else making music similar to his? I've got some Ruyichi Sakamoto that's quite good too, but only piano pieces. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
music in 12 parts is my favourite i challenge you to listen to it all the way through without pausing 3.5 hours |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i have Koyaanisqatsi and i've wanted to get Kundun.....glass is just brilliant. i've liked him longer than aphex....ehehhe |

What do you guys recommend for a Reich fan boy ??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'm not sure of anyone else who plays similar to his style, I really haven't looked. Here just thought I 'oughta post some of the songs that I like that you might wanna check out Protest (from Satyagraha), Truman Sleeps (The Truman Show), Truman Show-Raising The Sail, Changing Opinion, Einstein on the Beach (disc 2) - Dance 1, Einstein on the Beach (disc 2) - Knee 5, Foday Musa Suso - The French Lieutenant Dreams, Foday Musa Suso - Land Of The Dead |

Bah.. 3.5 hours, no problem. just got to download it first. Hm.. I'm feeling like I've struck gold here.. can't wait to play this for people I know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks, I'll check them out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Anyone into Einstein on the Beach? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have "Einstein on the Beach". I love minimal music but 4 hours of it is a bit much. Another minimal album I like is "Drumming" by Steve Reich |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hm, I'll check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also have Koyaanisqatsi. I had to go to California to get it. I couldn't find it Arizona. That's a great album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the Truman Show-music. Especially that tune when Truman's in the middle of the road, blocking the way, arms stretched in both directions. That song, very impressive, I'd say. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have that Glass/Shankar cd.. I think its called "passages". funnily enough, the Ravi bits are much better than the Glass bits. |
||||||||
|

De har Philip Glass på biblioteket (musikkavdelingen) i byen. Var der og lånte "Solo Piano" for en stund siden... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone have Symphony no. 5 by Glass? its really good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also got a disc from the library a little bit ago by glass but it wasnt that good. i forget the name, it has him on the cover smoking i think. it was 1 60 minute track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got a few steve reich albums a little back from the library too, sextet+marimbas(something like that), a cd with pendulum music and then early works with clapping and some others. actually i didnt like most of the tracks by him, i definately prefer music for 18 musicicans by him. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
still a Reich-boy, me. infinitely more interesting, I think. |

No Zeus response yet? He's slipping! ;) (And yes, Glass is great...Glassworks is my favorite...Opening is wonderful!) |

I love Phil, I listened to little else for about two years or so... recommended listening: Solo Piano (absolutely fucking amazing album) The Photographer Hydrogen Jukebox Songs from the Trilogy (a compilation of the best stuff from the first three operas) Glassworks Koyaanisqatsi Powaqqatsi (quite 'world music' for Phil) Mishima hardcore listening (ie long): Einstein on the Beach Akhenaten Satyagraha Music in 12 parts (the most hardcore minimalist Glass I've heard) also: Steve Reich (6 marimbas, clapping, and the AMAZING City Life/Different Trains), Terry Riley (In C, Rainbow in curved air)... not like Phil but lotsa Phil fans like: maybe some Arvo Part (religious minimalism sorta stuff) some releases on the ECM label (but they're more minimalist jazzy stuff)... Keith Jarret... |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
*drinks to Kaini's post, especially the ECM artists he mentioned* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Incidentally I thought that Foday Musa Sosa/PG collaboration ('Music for the Screens') fucking sucked. ECM stuff is soooo good though... particularly Jan Garbarek, Anya Garbarek, or Keith Jarret's solo piano stuff. Several others who don't come to mind at the moment too. |

glassworks and songs from the trilogy are my faves. i'm not too fond of passages or dracula, though. and no one's mentioned the candyman soundtrack! good stuff. |

i just heard triumph the insult comic dog diss Philip Glass on a music video thing, that he preformed originally on Conan O'Brien, saying "Phillip Glass, atonal ass You're not immune Write a song with A fucking tune" what a little bastard. |
||||||||

is philip glass that well known to be made fun of on conan? i didnt think he was, i know hes more well known than all the other minimalists but being on simpsons and southpark and conan...thats quite a bit of publicity there. |
||||||||

REICH IS BETTER! |
