Aug. 21st, 2014 06:04 pmBecause studying for the CPA is so intensely boring, I've been acquiring new music at a prodigious rate. This is not helped by either a) being about two blocks from a good music store and b) mp3 downloads.
Mostly I've acquired a lot of Philip Glass. Wow, that guy is prolific. And a lot of his stuff sounds substantially similar. The stand out has been "Facades."
Since the guy at the check out asked me, when I walked up with a handful of Glass CDs if "that was the guy with the train stuff," I went home and looked up who the guy with the "train stuff" was, which turns out to be Steve Reich. So I finally acquired "Music for 18 Musicians," which had been on my list, and have ordered "Different Trains." So far, really enjoying "Music for 18 Musicians."
I also picked up another Olafur Arnalds album, "For Now I Am Winter" (already had "Dyad 1909," which is great). "For Now I Am Winter is good, except for the stuff with lyrics which I can't study against.
Now I'm eyeing other Max Richter albums...somebody stop me, this is getting ridiculous.
