Philip Glass is widely regarded as one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century. His work has been dubbed “minimal music”. Glass himself prefers to describe himself as a composer of “music with repetitive structures”.
Glassworks is the most pleasant craftwork ever from the great minimalist exploiter. Six warm pieces in a succesfull attempt to create a more pop-oriented work. The Philip Glass ensemble performs with an amiably soft-edged minimalist sound, in an almost new-agey vein. Glass anticipated resistance toward the funding of his more expensive projects, so he created a more accessible, and marketable recording. And with success. More than 200K albums were sold in five years.
The tracks "Rubric" and "Façades" both appeared in the 2008 documentary about Philippe Petit, Man on Wire. "Floe" was featured on the soundtrack of the 1989 Italian horror film The Church. "Opening" was featured in the American remake of the movie Breathless.
Glassworks is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on translucent blue coloured vinyl.
