Just a few feeks ago, In Dublin, we had a Steve Reich 'musical celebration', with lots of his work being performed over the course of a weekend.
Hearing 'Music For 18 Musicians' performed live by the Ensemble Moderne was the musical highlight of my life.
Some of my favorite works by Steve Reich:
Music For 18 Musicians
Drumming
Electric Counterpoint
Different Trains
Tripple Quartet
Six Pianos
Also worth checking out is a CD called 'Reich Remixed', where Reich's work is remixed by various pop music artists such as Coldcut and DJ Spooky. Some of the tracks aren't so great, but over all it is a very interesting album.
