Alternately, you could argue that Glass is just one hook over and over and
over and over and over again.

re #23: What about Yes's biggest hit, "Owner of A Lonely Heart"? The lead
guitar opens with the hook and repeats it a few times, before it is repeated
somewhat differently (as a melody) in the chorus.
re #23 and #24: Come on-- Pink Floyd's "Leave The Kids Alone" has plenty of
hooks. How else could it be the band's best-known tune? Cyklone's right--
they used hooks, too.
re #26, #27: Hrm. I wonder if my music education has been lacking, for I've
heard very little minimalist music, and I'm not sure if it was that of Phillip
Glass.

Re 28. I find "Owner of a Lonely Heart" to be irritating rather than
catchy, and I'm surprised to hear that Yes was responsible for it. The
Yes hit that I *do* find appealing (and presumably has hooks in it) is
"Roundabout".

Go see Koyanisqatsi <sp?> some time, lumen. It'll be the best three-hour nap
you've ever had.

You forget I live in a cultural wasteland :P. The closest place I can go to
for big name talent is the Gorge at George. The local scene is usually
limited to folk, garage band rock, a little jazz, and school talent.

about phillip glass .. at first hearing it tends to sound 'all the
same all the way through.,.'
however, a few years ago at the michinga theatre, when i was getting
set for some aact productin or other, the phillip glass orchestra
was trying to 'get it together' for their show in a few hours.,
this was not working for them very well ...sound system probs.
yeh, ok, mini-hero tale here.
i fixed the problem (think it was a ground loop, if i remember
right ) and glass invited me to dinner at the indian restaurant,
??shanna-rah?? or something over on william and division as 'compensation.'
had a neat meal, met some fascinating musical phd's and subtle
intellectuals .. and decided to stay for the show, watching/listening
backstage.
never had heard of, let alone heard, the name/music phillip glass.
the first few minutes seemed to describe 'all the same - all the time'
sort of experience ...except that watching from the side, i could *see*
the physical changes the players were making, and watch the sound
blender (no 'mixer' here !) working hte board and also
observe glass conducting the orchestra.
connecting these obvious visual activites with the sum
of the music ...adn *WOW* ... multiple dimensions became
apparent inside teh structure and framwork of the phillip glass
orchestra performance.
there are amazing changes happening adn when you pay attention
just a little bit, you can become intimately involved with the
evolution(s) taking place in your ears & head.
that experience ranks in teh top 5 of 'serendipitous thrills of
all time.'
thankxx for triggering that memory <g>!

Raja Rani (the restaurant, t.s.)
Intersting story, though. I can see whreee SEEINGwhat was happening
would change the experience, since if you're just hearing it,
the same old same old gets boring rather quickly.

I've never seen Glass perform, but I've always found the music fascinating
and never repetitive. I like Steve Reich even better though.

Fine, be that way :P
Some of Steve Reich's music I do like, particularly Different Trains and
Drumming.

re #36, #38 I agree about Steve Reich being more interesting than Philip Glass.

I'm currently borrowing the library's copy of Reich's TEHILLIM. It's only
about 30 minutes long, but Wow! Voices, percussion, winds, electric organ,
and strings. Background music that kicks.

I suppose a "mere" 30 minutes beats 3 hours....

Hard to say, I went to this Dead concert once and the 85 minute version of
Boxcars in Heaven....

Well, I dare say that might be different. But 3 hours of minimalism could
kill you.

I'm still so new to the Internet radio thing. But then I don't have the
money.
