Album Description

Good CD

I really like Phillip Glass. The simple sounding and semi repetitive arrnagements are charming. This is not music that you listen to on a road trip. But it is great for creating a relaxing atomsphere. I personally like to listen to it when I'm grading. Sadly, this CD dosen't include the music he created for the film No Reservations which I really enjoyed. Other than that I really like this CD. April 29, 2008

Great stuff

The songs on this compilation are great selections, the only problem is they are so randomly arranged. The best way to listen to Glass is by listening to an entire album of something, since each one usually conveys a certain emotional state that isn't captured with just one random song.
this might be a good intro. for someone who has never heard of Glass before, but other than that, its best to just buy a complete recording. October 15, 2007
