Phillip Glass' "Low Symphony" - wow, that's thinking outside of the box...

[Taverner]

Never would have made that connection...Glass did...

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. What connection? Great symphony, by the way. My CD is signed by Philip, too!

:woohoo:

[Taverner]

2. To take Bowie's Low album and turn into into a symphony

And concentrate on the moody instrumental numbers, rather than the "hits"

Cool about the CD! Do you have a pic of it?

[gbate]

3. Phillip Glass makes my ears bleed.

[seemunkee]

6. You should try some John Cage

[mitchum]

4. But there is a heavy Glass influence on "Low"

It would be like Chuck Berry covering the Rolling Stones or something

[Taverner]

5. I always thought Glass borrowed from Tangerine Dream, just like Bowie

[mitchum]

7. I agree with you that both of them borrowed from Tangerine Dream...

but I doubt that either would ever admit it. For some reason, Tangerine Dream is not "Eno approved"
And that I have never understood.

[Taverner]

8. Love Eno, but the man has an ego the size of Ghana

Especially the whole "I invented Ambient Music!" thing...

And his relentless bashing of Gary Newman

[cemaphonic]

9. Plus him and Fripp "inventing" Frippetronics

by lifting it wholesale from Terry Riley's "Rainbow in Curved Air."
