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

Re: Minimalism in Music
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.

Re: Minimalism in Music
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.

Re: Minimalism in Music
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 entitiestragabigzanda wrote:Why? Both bands have lots of minimalist material: repeated simple motifs, drone stuff…Krautrock is just a descendent of minimalist music.

Re: Minimalism in Music
deerhunter incorporate repetition, droning, etc.
but they are rock band. i think can & neu! fall into that category, too -- krautrock!
