Phillip Glass Fans

Well, that narrows it down! (LOL)
All good suggestions. In addition (just to confuse you) he did the music for a Jean Genet play, "The Screens," in collaboration with Foday Musa Suso. Absolutely terrific CD. I saw the two of them perform it a few years ago.
I also saw Glass with an ensemble perform with Robert Wilson doing a 3D film in the background -- very cool!

Thanks everyone for your informed suggestions! Audiotomb, you mention similarity to Steve Reich; in reading a bio of Glass, I understand that Steve Reich and John Adams are also key players in the minimalist music school (along, of course, with Terry Riley--the namesake for The Who's "Baba O'Riley"). Can you tell me anything about Reich or Adams?

I like: Songs From Liquid Days

fun but still has the trademark Glass sound

I have all of the following and like them all.

Koyaanisqatsi (I also have the movie DVD)
Powaqqatsi (I have the movie DVD for this too)
The Photographer (on Vinyl)
Songs From Liquid Days (On Vinyl- Great!)

Reich uses more mallet instruments and sparser instrumentation
Music for 18 musicians is a great starting place
Peter Gabriel's San Jacinto has Reichian flourishes

I saw Glass in Detroit around 83
his consort was playing at Rock volumes
at one point I was dead tired and bored
then it was like the sky opened up and passages varying slightly overlapped in a way that was totally mesmerizing
performers used to bitch about his repetitive parts until they were in the midst of the full score

an odd tidbit, Glass was working as a cab driver in the early 70s to make ends meet before Einstein

Glassworks is the most accessible Glass piece
Einstein is fun
Koyanisquatsi is a must have film and you get the soundtrack gratis

I've heard Adams but not enough to comment,
enjoyed it

if you enjoy these try Brian Eno's Music for Airports
