Whenever I have been broken, whenever life has become a burden, I have come back to this piece to
be reaffirmed of my own existence.

88/100. I loved how trance-like and meditative this is. It's easy to get absorbed into Reich's world and I really feel as though
I enter a different mindset when listening to this record. Absolutely stunning.

5.0 classicBedex | September 15th 21

Nothing makes the mind levitate quite as much as Music for Eighteen Musicians. Uniqueness executed to perfection. Whether it be the original 1978 ECM recording or the 2007 Grand Valley State version, I can't see myself bumping it down. 5.0

Simply an amazing piece of work from one of the most influential composers of all time. The rhythmic patterns and the tonal cycles are simply breathtaking. For me, I could listen to it for hours. Truly an amazing, landmark piece.
