Philip Glass honestly might be my favorite artist as an adult, which is so weird to me.

Not that I'm finding. That said, it's only a 3CD set, so if you have "Octet" then it's just "Music for 18 Musicians" and "Tehillim" you'd have still to get.

It's a great collection of work, I seriously love every piece.

There are parts on Tehillim where I'm just floored by the melody. But I agree that, of the three ECM albums, it's the one that demands the most specific mood.

i'd just put them in a krautrock thread. i'm not saying there are not some similarities between minimalism & krautrock, but they are clearly discrete entities
