Philip Glass is a modern/classical composer whose works have run the
gamut from movie soundtracks to opera <check out Akhnaten, tis REALLY
cool>. His trademark seems to be the idm-ish repetition of various
elements - a single note or phrase can be repeated throughout his whole
piece. He's quite interesting, and as i said, his opera Akhnaten is
excellent and well worth a listen <CBS Masterworks / M2K 42457 - 2 Discs>
