Nonesuch, 2005 A Joyful Noise! Many years ago I saw a performance of Steve Reich's "Drumming". I remember it exciting me. But it's not the kind of music you walk out humming, certainly not if you're a near layperson like I. So I didn't think much more about Steve Reich until hearing a report on NPR ...             Music For Airports Robert Black, Gregory Hesselink, ... Philips, 1998 Eno gone wild Bang On A Can's version of "Music for Airports" adds a jangly depth to Eno's more compressed version.

But the key difference here is the space is much more stark than Eno, thanks ...             Kinship Maya Beiser, Anonymous, ... Koch Int'l Classics, 2000 Forget what you think you know about the cello This album is extraordinary. Listening is its own reward, but if you ever get a chance to see this performer, RUSH!

Koch Int'l Classics, 1995 interesting stuff This is a fantastic recording of two of the 21st century's neglected geniuses. Maya Beiser is a stunning cellist as well, not to mention, quite the babe.
