I'm not too big a fan of it myself.  Got it cos it was the essential. would
be nice if i could just meditate on it, listen to the changes.  Still
really impressive that he got live musicians to play that kindof stuff.
Pretty but somewhat boring.

I really enjoy the Reich Remixed (I even gave tranquility bass a second
chance after their "megamix" which sounds like a bad idea but isn't).  I
gotta get me some more of the originals, cos i feel that's where most of
the quality comes from. I now wish i would have scammed the Reich boxed set
from Musicboulevard.  And that would definitely have all the essential
reich on it, because it has all of his stuff on it. Probably a good use of
$100.
