| |||
| Reich has had an enormous influence on musicians including Brian Eno, Tortoise, and countless purveyors of electronica. His music is both visionary and surprisingly accessible, and this well-chosen, career-spanning, five-CD compilation gives us his best work...Some feel that Reich's inspiration has diminished of late, but his most recent recording, 'You Are (Variations)', holds its own in this company. Greatest of all, though, is the kaleidoscopic, much-sampled 'Music For 18 Musicians'. A dazzling, hour-long voyage in which strings, voices, tuned percussion, keyboards and bass clarinets weave repetitive ever-developing lines, it's the ultimate iPod soundtrack to a train journey. -- Mike Barnes, The Observer, September 17, 2006 | |||||
