ANALOG

"This was a transitional period for Phlip Glass. After Einstein on the Beach, his high water mark, he decided to gradually alter his style and eventually shifted away from minimalism to a more operatic and symphonic style. However, "Analog" captures his experiments with minimalist organ has the complete soundtrack to the film "Northstar" about a sculptor's works (I believe this is out of print) which condenses his minimalist style to pop song length. That is followed by two pieces from an ep for the Soho News. The peak of this issue is "Mad Rush", an unreleased piece from the time that lives up to his name. Also "Analog" belatedly realizes the fact that many fans of Glass (mine included) prefer his music on analog organs, rather than digital (which sound cold in comparison) synths or acoustic reissues of early analog pieces." www.amazon.com
