This is one of the albums thatthat made a big difference in my way of concieving music.

I really like this piece, too. I saw Ravi Shankar at George Harrison's 74 concert at Cow Palace, and get to take my daughter to see him again 37 years later at Davies Hall SF! I hope he includes some of this Glass collaboration music.

I am a musician of over 20 years, and I find very little that keeps me interested, but this piece of music does it for me every time I hear it - I absolutely love this piece.

This sounds really similar to a tune in naquoyqaatsi.

(For a Philip Glass venue into france, he told a journalist interviewing him, Ravi Shankar was allready teatching indian music in some Paris musical's institutions. So he attended the teatching, that's how they meet.. it was ten years before London musicians such as Lennon put him in front of the stage. He was allready well known in musical circles and well respected.)
