Phillip Glass Fans

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

Dracula soundtrack

I get the same effect from letting my damaged CD's skip
