I know you already told me you don't really like Reich much, Julio, but perhaps you should listen to a bit more, esp. the early phase- shifting pieces. I think you also have to approach it from the right direction--it's not supposed to be about wild musical shifts; the movement is often textural. Yeah, a bit of a yawn if you're expecting melodic development, but it can be a bit entrancing if you're listening for the texture/timbre. I find that a lot of that early material is far more interesting through headphones, like "Come Out" and "It's Gonna Rain". Again, I have this on CD somewhere, and we can potentially arrange a listening session, though I should probably just burn it for you and let you listen when the mood hits, because that's when it's more interesting (I think).

At first I thought 18 musicians was OK but then after a few more listens I thought: 'What's the point?' There weren't any interesting ideas being expressed here.
Listening session= We might be looking at 10-15 minute tracks max (though I forgot to say I'm interested in those Bill Hicks discs you were discussing on another thread).

I just listened to it this week for the first time in a while and I absolutely love it. Still.
