Drumming - Steve Reich
Oct 19, 2006, 14:50
Drumming is great. I didn't really get it when I first bought it over a decade ago. It sat in my CD rack gathering dust for a year or so, as Music for 18 Musicians got played a lot more. Then I had the idea of putting it on at home during a chill out after an MDMA fuelled night of raving. It was a revelation to everyone there, and three of us got up and started dancing again to it. It's always sounded different to me since. Great to watch being performed live, too.

And Reich's more recent stuff isn't much cop, but it's still better than the cack Philip Glass churns out these days. Actually some of the VERY early Philip Glass stuff is good, but it quickly descends into insipid, populist crap. Best stuff is: Music in Similar Motion and Music with Changing Parts.
