  • I've never been able to connect to this kind of music - like, I'm one of those people who can't really put music on as a background to anything verbal (reading, conversation, work). It kind of monopolizes my attention - so the more meditative and mellow something is, the harder it is for me to get with. The closest thing for me so far I guess is drum/percussion-only recordings.

    So what's a recommendation as an "in" to this kind of stuff for someone like this?

    I think Music for 18 Musicians is really accessible and captivating.  Have you heard that?

  • I've heard a little of Steve Reich (enough to get the joke in the cake video), but haven't sat down with it. I'll give it a go, thanks.

    Check out the Tycho albums.  It's a great gateway drug.  Also Gigi Masin and Gaussian Curve... alot of the MFM stuff is fantastic.

    The recent Josef Leimberg set is really growing on me.



    "As I Think of You" has a mhadd vocal from Georgia Anne Muldrow which is worth admission alone.


  • Good call on 18 musicians... I can't say I was transcending our dimension but it does sit nicer in the background than most. I will check out Tycho etc next.
