Book Reviews of American Minimal Music: LA Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass
Book Review: This book rocks.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can now quite honestly say with conviction that others observe us in far different but still similar yet thought provoking, light-shedding manner. Wim Mertens, I believe, has done just that. Man oh man, I love nothing more than digging into a good chapter of this book. Always insightful, Mertens very colorfully relates the cause, themes, and application of "American 'minimalist' music" in a straight foward and entertaining way. A "way" that most American authors I believe have yet to go.
