The governments of the earth had better begin to respect the individual, regardless how seemingly insignificant.

I watch this documentary twice a year at least. Inspired me to get my own ensemble together. Wonderful stuff. What's most interesting is the absence of percussion (piano not withstanding). How often is rhythmic music heard with the obligatory beat these days?

@WorthwhileMedia It's okay for percussive beats to lie beneath brilliant melodies. The problem is with beats that lack brilliant melodies. To confuse them with each other or consider them one and the same is unfair. I'm not saying you did, but I figured I'd expand on what you're saying. Eliminating percussive elements generally precedes trippy experiences because of how unaccustomed we are to the action. It's different. It's cool. So long as the melodic concepts are strong enough to stand alone.

I love Philip Glass, some of his work is zany, some of it sublime, and some of it just plain irritating, but I love the world/mood he creates with his music, I think of it as a place to go. I think of few artists in that way.

I've some music of Philip Glass.. After no.1 the poet acts.. the whole cd is practically the same. Alway's the violin doing the same thing.. than that melancholic starts. So ones in a halve year it's nice to play.
