This thread is inspired by the thread about solo piano.
I can't believe Philip Glass hasn't been done already.

I swear his Solo Piano CD never leaves my car.

I think he's incredible.

There was a snippet about Moondog on the radio the other night - I never knew he'd lived with Philip Glass for a while (PG even admitted borrowing the odd idea or two).

Not crap but can I lazily say I prefer Steve Reich?

I think it would go:
Reich
Riley
Glass

However I think Glassworks is awesome, as is his piano stuff. Not to start the "electronic" debate in this thread but someone was playing some Psychadelic Trance in their car recently and I thought "its just like philip glass with a steady kickdrum, but far less interesting"

Not Crap, but not the best.

Positively NOT CRAP! But you really do know you're listening to a Philip Glass piece. Very few surprises.


I wonder if he still fixes pipes.

I don't like either Glass or Reich as much as a I like Riley.

Actually I don't like Philip Glass much at all, but I don't want to vote crap.

I think Riley is a lot more playful than the other two. Music for 18 musicians I find alot more engaging than all the other's work.

who would be up for doing a EA version of "In C" by the way?

Absolutely NOT CRAP.

Music In 12 Parts...nuff said.

I like his cousin Ira

"'an evening with phillip glass'... oooooh, just an evening??"

it all sounds pretty damn similar, but i enjoy it. NC.

His score for Mishima is par for the course
