No - not Philip Glass! Heresy! **Steve Reich** - absolute genius. Track "Come Out" is built out of two phase-shifiting tape loops of a young black man saying "I had to, like, open the bruise up and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them" - a description (given to a news reporter - whence the tape) of how the young man speaking managed to 'prove' that he had been subjected to police brutality after having been picked up by the cops without cause. Or something of that nature. GET THIS CD. Brilliant from first digital bit to last. After you hear & read a bit about about Reich, you'll understand how Phil Glass is Minimalist music's version of our beloved Orbital (i.e. hyped but ultimately full of shit). Steve Reich: Early Works (Come Out/Piano Phase/Clapping Music/It's Gonna Rain.) Elektra/Nonesuch Cat. 9 79169-2. IDM if there ever was any. Sr --- --lacanian Sd NP: Sqpshr's 'feed me' - o.k., once I offered it for sale, now I'm addicted. reminds me of how my first stogie made me gag.
