Steve Reich

It's great one for sure. I've also got a serious soft spot for Jonny Greenwood's run-through of Electric Counterpoint

These cats do an outstanding job.

Check out the Chopi timbila xylophone orchestras of Mozambique

I definitely will, thanks. I've been checking out a group called Adzido, whom performs music from many African countries, and to my inexperienced ear they do a bang-up job. They have a bunch of albums (CDs), some of which seem to be OOP. I've been sort of obsessed with all things Africa, and watched an outstanding documentary series on Netflix called Wildest Africa. Its beautifully done.

His stuff and Philip Glass...good god, the stamina alone is incredible. I'd have hand cramps for the next 3 years trying to play some of those tunes.

Just listened to Proverb after reading a chapter in Richard Powers' novel Orfeo in which the "hero" of the story sits in a café and hears this piece in the room. He then begins to describe the complete piece, which he knows very well as he's also a composer.

"Different Trains" is probably my the favourite Steve Reich composition. I wrote review of album Different Trains / Electric Counterpoint: https://pienemmatpurot.com/review-st...terpoint-1989/

Dig him. My middle school orchestra teacher had us playing Reich and Philip Glass.
