Random question: For those who like Phillip Glass - do you like Einstein on the Beach? Or is that one not so popular even amongst Glass-heads?
That composition pretty much made his reputation, right?
Anyway, I love EotB. I have it on LP and a different recording on CD. I might get the other one on CD too....
Einstein on the Beach
is my favorite Phillip Glass. Not that I own it, but I used to check it out of the library.
It's possibly my fave too. I bought it in '85, after reading a
Rolling Stone
profile on Glass.
eta: I don't play it that often ('cuz it's
long
) but sometimes if I'm in a bad mood or really depressed, it's the only thing I
want
to hear....
ICompletelyON, I am out of it, as my coffee hasn't taken effect. I wanted to listen to The Weavers, but I was searching my iTunes for The Reavers.
Oopsie.
I'm a big fan of Glass' soundtrack for Kundun, probably because it sounds so different than his other stuff, which I also like, but can get somewhat samey after a while.
