"It's weird how minimalism fags hate Arvo Part but praise useless guys like Steve Reich, Morton Feldman and Philip Glass."

Steve reich and Phillip glass are amazing. They are NOT useless. You must have drank too much.
Side note, This is also amazing.

They all have their place.

Could you point me in the direction of the equipment you used to playback that bit depth and sample rate?

This review is wrong. Fratres and Cantus In Memory of Benjamin Britten are not Tabula Rasa. You can’t take them and say "this is an album made by Arvo Pärt". Even if someone obviously made a CD with these three compositions on. If you want to be coherent with others classical stuff on sputnikmusic, you have to add albums named "Fratres" and "Cantus In Memory of Benjamin Britten".

Woah didn't know Fratres was used in There Will Be Blood


gota watch that movie again

listening to this on repeat. oh my god it is beautiful, anybody have anymore A minor classics?

Gian's too transcendental to fathom the impossibilities of the multiverse.

In other words he's gay.

Album Rating: 4.5

ha nah hes not gay just a little confused :/

I know I keed, but I think he's taking it way too seriously and the amount of elite music that he probably listens to (or pretends he does) is consuming him

this is trve emo feels

I don't know why it is hard to fathom somebody merely liking this enough for a 3. It is a decently good album, nothing more.

i personally love it

I thoght it was common knowledge I'm bi, not homosexual. Well, I'm not conscerned with image anymore heh, so trivialities like 'elite taste' have become unimportant, I just listen and (most of the time) expect to find enjoyment in doing so. Music is not a competition nor a race, keep that in mind.



My problem with Part is that one cannot sustain the same pillars for so long before they start to fall. That is; his planet spins around objects that are musically samey, if you arent taken away by the 'angelical beauty' of Pärt his music starts to rot, pretty fast. This happens with post-rock albums too, releases of undescribable magnificense bore me to death after my second or third listen-- I just know whats going to happen, and I hate unjustified redundancy.

I hear ya. Alot of post-rock is boring but this just has better songwriting than most of that to me.



It just seems youve only been diggin the most avant-garde of things lately



Like I Am Sitting in a Room and Good Morning Good Night. I tried listening to those and just didnt really enjoy them.

They're interesting though.



Gian I dig your taste alot man cuz I like alot of weird shit too but bro do you ever just chill and jam some Dino Jr.?
