I've listened to a few 17min versions of this but it sounds nothing like the youtube video of the start, maybe compression is making it bad or something

[lsre]

@azza3 This is a live performance. Certain ensembles have recorded the CD in a studio with studio amplification, making the sound a lot dryer, mostly also performing in a slower tempo than we choose to as the London Steve Reich Ensemble. Can you tell what recording you're listening to?

8 lines, This is my favourite:- It has so much energy, I too, clean the house to this, wash up, dance to it in my tiny bedroom.. It has so much breadth, vibrancy and energy. And I particulary like the London Steve Riech Ensemble's Version of this..

@junecampdav

Thanks for the compliment, Snowboots. This was a live performance in Holland. The (more exciting CD version) can be heard on iTunes Store/Amazon.

We're coming out with a new album, recording: City Life, Piano Counterpoint (World Premiere) and Triple Quartet within the next 6 months. Best wishes,

Vincent, MD London Steve Reich Ensemble

It's a good thing I can't play the cello. I think my neighbors would hate me by now, considering I'd probably be playing the cello suite 4 mins in, until I was pretty much in a trance.

[NaciAtYerGrave]

i came here because of Idosing thinkin this song was an I-doser but its not. disappointing

[stevejaramillo]

i am so high now

[RobOfAlaska]

I like this a lot, not because of..."iDosing"...but just the music. What's the big deal iDosers? Can't find your BIG HIT singles? xD hahaha

[TheMakingVids]

@writersblock26: I'd say it sounds more like stuff from Kingdom Hearts. They play a lot of stuff like this in the game and it sounds really nice

[writersblock26]

@TheMakingVids Really? I do not think so at all, but maybe I just have not played either game enough.

Does this video end early? It sounds like it's about to end up until the last 15 seconds or so when the pianos come back in, after which it sounds like a new theme is about to begin.

[alf516]

What the hell does this have to do with I-dosing?

[XxHeartagramHeavenxX]

This reminds me of something that'd be in a Final Fantasy game. Like, no joke.

(Flame if you want, but that's what I think.)
