Good post, that was quite informing. I'm keen to get into more minimalist classical stuff... I like the Philip Glass that I've heard. Erik Satie is indeed good.

And I love Glenn Gould - I had to hear some of his stuff after I saw Silence of the Lambs and Lecter was listening to it in his cell with blood all over face and the guard's body spread-eagled and pinned up.
