I agree, Phillip Glass is a master of the Mininalistic genre. Not only are "Glassworks"ect masterpieces but his amazing, fablous , fantastic scores to "Koyaanisqatsi" and "Kundun" complete these epic films. You cannot watch these films or think of them withput being reminded of the score written by Glass. If you don't appreciate the style look into it and understand what is achieved. Don't simply write it off. Immerse yourself in all types of music as it is important to listen and widely understand the different sounds being formed in the world.

Phillip Glass - best heard live, or through headphones, on a windy day with lots of cloud. Recline the body and just concentrate on those subtle changes of tonality. Watch the clouds drift by and relax. Who needs drugs, when you have the music of Phillip Glass.

Philippe Glase is a pseudonym for the worst thing. He has been, and always be, a NO TALENT! A pretender and a charlatan. A knave with holes in his socks that his mother won't mend! A beast! In the meantime, he still has no talent to write MUSIC! Ask Tscaikowski, Handel, or Bizet, or even Beethoven for that matter. (I know they are all still dead...) Disregard him.

I've met him. He's a cool guy.

It's good to know that at this late hour Phil's music can still anger people who can't spell Kaichowskee. Or much of anything else.

TCHAIKOVSKY! Pratt! And philip Glasshole is still a no talent CHARLATAN! We will all die and our children's children will never have heard of him and that is soooooooo cooool!

stop masturbating. wagner, chopin, and liszt (among many others) inspired almost exactly the same ... vernacular. i mean rhetoric. to the word. the way i look at it, if a composer doesn't anger people and make them jerk off all over internet message boards and stay up late to see who responded to their latest "PHILIP GLASS IS MENTALLY RETARDED BUT I AM VERY SMART" posting then that acid brat composer has not done their job and they passed unnoticed. Phil makes certain people (some of whom can't spell, most of whom can't seem to speak intelligently about it) really angry day after day after day. For whatever you can say about his music, this is a good thing.

I john Cage

I didn't know john was a verb.

oi vey....sorry (blush) i was half asleep, I..LIKE..JOHN...CAGE

No, Waffleboy, that was perfect the first time... I half laughed my ass off!

ermmm... some of his stuff can be lackluster. i'm not a worshipper in any sense. i love the opera trilogy. Akhanaten particularly. his quartets for the Kronos quartet were yummy. Monsters of Grace was nice from what i remember. not to fond of his symphonies... oh well.

Kronos (YAWN!!!!) Quartet

try Tony Conrad of the original Dream Syndicate with John Cale, or better yet try his minimalists pieces he composed with Faust several years ago....
