Philip Glass. That was definitely a good movie.

However don't forget Glass' predecessor Steve Reich, who pretty much started the whole Minimalism scene with his phasing tape loop series. Much of his work also manages to have a great Eastern-drone thing that creeps up on you. As good as Glass or even Terry Riley is, they kind of lack that same Eastern edge that Reich gives his material. Glass and Reich were friends also so their work does complement each other in a way...
