Phillip Glass Fans

Hearing a radio program on NPR prompted a new interest in this composer....I am really captivated by his minimalistic style. Are there any fans out there who can recommend some recordings (CDs or LPs) I can start with? The only one I have so far is Glassworks, which consists of some of his compositions all performed on organ.

As for you Phillip Glass haters; well, critics critique; they don't create. It's easier to knock down a sandcastle than it is to build one.

@Schubert - I can't remember the last time I heard you say anything positive about any musical artist who wasn't a dead 18th century white guy.

I perosnally would not mention Glass in the same sentence as Chopin. I like Glass, Chopin is in a totally different class though......IMHO.

Interestingly, "Jacob's Ladder", by Rush, has a center instrumental section that is completely inspired by Phillip Glass.
Also, if you're not a Phillip Glass fan, you can always enjoy his cousin, Ira Glass, who hosts "This American Life"
