Is that Akhnaten? Superb album. His Cello Octet Glass Reflections is very good as well.

I know these two are always mentioned in the same breath but for good reason. His Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.
Reich is one of my favourite artistes. I have 11 of his recordings. I first heard Come Out as a youngster in the late 70's and was spellbound. It took me until the last few years to discover who had done that and once discovered I have become a huge admirer. I don't have Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ though. I have always thought that Remixed is a good starting point for the beginner. Have you heard Different Trains? I adore it.
