do you like his music ? personnaly i've hear music for 18 musicians, which is supposed to be his best piece of music, but i don't think it's very good ; in the same style, I prefer philip glass |

I made a thread about him fairly recently. I find most of Philip Glass' stuff to be very boring. There's nothing musically clever about some of the stuff he has done, and neither is it emmotionally engaging. Sorry if you're a fan of his...if you like his stuff, all the power to you. I love Music for 18 Musicians! It's great to relax to and there's a lot of patterns and interesting things going on if you want to pay attention to it. |

no way sir. music for mallet instruments, voices and organ, six marimbas, drumming..and pendulum music shit on anything mr glass has done. interestingly philip glass was originally born philip wagner but he was renamed philip glass because he really really liked glass. |

I heard a piece by Phillip Glass a while ago which consisted of nothing but simple minor-key arpeggios going around and around for ages with minimal changes occuring. I forgot its name. While that is the nature of minimalist music, I find that Steve Reich makes things a lot more catchy and interesting on the whole....for example, listen to "Different Trains". I love the way old war-time voice samples are used and the kronos quartet copy the shape of the phrases, while general train hissing and screaching sounds come in and out. I just find his stuff a lot more surprising and interesting than Glass' music. |

don't think it's very good? it's hard to imagine anyone who's interested in minimalism/pulse/electronic music having that opinion, but to each their own i suppose. phillip glass to me is by contrast too melodramatic and predictable. i like some of his work (string quartets, collaboration with ravi shankar) but steve reich gets my vote by far. |

If I'm in the mood I can really zone out to it, If not I usually stear clear, Drumming is my Reich album of choice and I guess Music in 12 parts has to be my favourite Glass. |

glass is a genius. have you listened to Circles? its a fantastic recording. highly reccomended |

I haven't. Perhaps it would change my mind about him... I haven't heard much of his stuff tbh, but what I did hear wasn't that inspiring. Avro Part is a religious minimlaist-styled composer, but his music is absolutely stunning. |
