i can't agree more!! i'm totally nuts about this music. i saw Phil live recently. improvising on the piano and talking quite a bit.
i feel there is so MUCH to love in his stuff. i think my fav is Music in Twelve Parts.
i feel it is kind of stimming for the mind .. also borderline like shamanistic quality .. will induce a trance .. (almost kind of like transcendence) ... also, his rhythms are additive in most cases .. just like Indian classical music often has. A big influence on Glass' music. the piece shown here is really early stuff. in other words more extreme .. later stuff is more accessible. Steve Reich is also really great.
