Indeed you do! It has a lovely voice over which is taken from an interview with Ricky Lee Jones and, upon mixing with inebriants, may lead to great periods of dream filled slumber.
Ah, the memories...

Second that. Great tune.

I only recently learned that the voice was sampled from an interview with Ricky Lee Jones.

Side note: The first time I heard Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians", I thought it reminded me a lot of Tangerine Dream. Turns out he was a big influence.

There's this American composer called Steve Reich who, in addition to making nice tunes, is the litmus test for sanity and normality.

Hm, just looked him up on allmusic. He's not a Philip Glass type joker, is he?

Doesn't seem like it from what I've read. He's buddies with Terry Riley I see.

I have some sort of collaboration between the two that is good, but I cannot tell you the title because sometimes my friend BitTorrent forgets to make track lists when xe makes me a mix.

Philip Glass has some good stuff, like his Dracula soundtrack. But Steve Reich is more pleasurable, somehow. I don't think he's perpetrated any operas.
