to the real fans out there
can someone please tell me which one of his albums is the
most repetitive and hypnotic, and therefore most
minimalistic
thx

i still want the vinyl, i need at least a minute gap between

3.5 hours is a long time. the olny time i played it all ther
way through i fell asleep and woke up twice. :)

a big bunch of us did... around... ten years ago or so
*shudder*
we were all 16-18ish, and on truckloads of magic mushrooms

i used to love to fall asleep to einstein on the beach on my
3-disc changer, but it died, as all 3-disc changers do
eventually :(

music in 12 parts is hard to get on cd i think

einstein on the beach can be had pretty readily.

philip glass is overrated pretentious shit that has been
bettered a thousand times by unknown musicians using nothing
but a computer.

That was a very lazy and ill informed opinion, not a fact.
This statement however is

And on a day that sees the board dominated by Monoid's
mirthless buffoonery, that makes it high wankery indeed.

however retardedly mosca likes to put it, mr. Glass does
seem to repeat the same trick over and over and over.

his output is really varied, and i don't see it as a trick
of any kind, more brutally honest. if you are referring to
an artist making a living out of a certain repetative
sound... i think you know what is coming next :)

mosca states things in a very black/white manner, but he's
correct in a way. earlier phil glass is very much repetitive
in nature, but that's the intent. later stuff is not,
though.

stevie reich is as good (not better) imo, but in a way more
accessible to people who like idbleeergh

How is sad act "correct in a way" by saying unknown people
have "bettered him using only a computer"? What indeed is
he actually saying in that statement anyway? Philip Glass
was born in 1937, a mere 10 years after Mosca's mum. What
has computers got to do with it? What has Mosca wanking
about doing BOC tributes on his laptop got to do with the
musical ooutput of one of modern music's defining composers?
Yes some of his music's repetitive, so's 99% of your fucking
mp3 collection you UGLY, MONSTROUS, KNOW NOTHING RETARD.

he's just another shit stirrer, he'll get banned eventually,
probably after he's pissed (the critical) 95% of people off.
unfortunately its only at the 20% level at the moment.
what's worse is the stringent rules at watmm would never let
him get away with this sly bullshit. he wins, hands down.

and back to the original question; i highly recommend
circles, its incredibly good. all pianos. i don't think i
could ever get bored of this album. its got the level of
minimalism just right. repitition, but enough subtle
varience to sustain interest...
