Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Glass at his most approachable Comment: If you have never listened to minimalist music this should be your point of departure. I have played this CD to the unsuspecting, as background music, and in the process won over the even the most ardent sceptics. Customer Rating: Summary: More like mixed bag Comment: This album is a mixed selection of Glasses works. I loved everything after the second track. The first two tracks sound to me like it was wrote for some 1970's experimental modern dance production and for me I really want to skip past them to get to the far more timeless compositions which compose the remaining tracks. I really dont think I could recommend this album as an introduction to Glass and minimalist compositions. A far better option is Minimalist, which also features other composers in the genre (Adams, Reich and Heath). More Reviews
