Steve Reich is probably the most influential composer from the second half of the twentieth century. So today, I bought a package that Nonesuch, his record label put out, called ‘Phases’, with most of the defining recordings of his defining pieces. I also bought a remix package, where leading off kilter electronic artists take him on. The absolute highlights for me are Coldcut on ‘Music for 18 Musicians’ and D*Note on Piano Phase. You can listen to samples here.
