Eno and Bryars
No, it went both ways.

If this was all that I was refering to, I would still be correct.

Bowie and Eno attended performances of Glass' work while working on Low. They were later told by Glass that some of Eno's work had inspired him. I read this in Wire or somethnig- don't remember the details. There was no clear case of one way inspiration among Eno and Glass. This is kind of away from the point that I was making regarding the inspiration of classical on IDM, anyway.
