The music of Philip Glass....

[poltr1]

....is probably the most difficult music for musicians to play. Lots of ostinato passages (i.e. stuff that repeats over and over) at speeds that test the limits of human performance and endurance.

That doesn't mean I don't enjoy listening to it occasionally.

But I'd probably let the computers and sequencers take over the grunt work at that point.

Yeah, some of his music sure sounds like that. :)

I loved the bit in one of the Christmas episodes in South Park where the school couldn't play anything that wouldn't be considered objectionable, so the kids were dressed in olive drab sweatsuits dancing to Philip Glass music. I was ROTFLMAO when that scene aired.
