4.0 excellentTRMshadow | April 20th 11

Surprising as it may seem, this is actually extremely listenable for me. The repetitiveness may be grating for some, but for me repetition is rsomewhat calming and sets up a pseudo trance where focusing on something singular is extremely easy. Also it makes me feel good pretending I actually know a thing about minimalism and crap. 4.0/5

3.0 goodSquigglyBob | May 7th 24

Obnoxious like everything else Philip Glass has done but this time he commits to the act and it's somehow really good.

Minimalism, Opera // 1979 // Best: "Knee Play 1"

4.5 superbShadowAmI | November 29th 12

This is a difficult listen, but it is very rewarding. It seems to be more of a study of musical patterns than anything else, especially on the longer tracks which are organized in very interesting ways.

I'm sure if it was all I had to listen to I'd get to like it...... but I found it pretty painful!
