Beautiful version of Glassworks opening

Very graceful and accessible Glass, similar to the sound of his soundtracks for The Truman Show, Mishima, and others.

You can listen to almost all of his music online at The Glass Engine here. (IE and Java needed: this has crashed Firefox on me twice.) I'd recommend the soundtracks Mishima, The Thin Blue Line, The Truman Show, and Candyman, among others, for Glass newbies. My favourite piece is still track 5 from Glassworks, "Facades", for piano and clarinet.

Great great find. Koyaanisqatsi and the David Bowie collaborations are also good Glass for a newbie.

But if you are too hep to ever consider dabbling in the soundtracks or mashups, then go ahead and rip all six hours of Einstein on the Beach. So so good.
