|name|Steve Reich|
|about artist|Stephen Michael Reich (born October 3, 1936) is an American composer. He is a pioneer of minimalism, although his music has increasingly deviated from a purely minimalist style. Reich's innovations include using tape loops to create phasing patterns (examples are his early compositions, "It's Gonna Rain" and "Come Out"), and the use of processes to create and explore musical concepts (for instance, "Pendulum music" and ""Four Organs").

|album|Works 1|
|track|Come Out|
|about track|Using a simple tape loop (or two identical loops overlapping) this piece creates rhythm, reverb and phase while at the same time allowing the listeners attention to drift between the linguistic points of the words. The effects are altered by changing the arrangement of the loops and thus the rhythm. (i think)|

You're welcome! If any of those float your boat, maybe try also:
Mozart: Requiem, Schreier/Dresden
Beethoven: Violin Sonatas, Perlman/Ashkenazy
Schubert: Trout Quintet, Gilels/Amadeus Quartet
EDIT: Had a chance to really check out my library and would also add:
Berlioz: Requiem, Shaw/Atlanta(the Sanctus is stunning)
This CD of Steve Reich works
This set by the LaSalle Quartet, especially for the Schoenberg quartets
Louis Lortie's recording of Ravel's piano music
Chailly's recording of Mahler 4, primarily for the amazing pairing of Berg's 7 Early Songs
Cleveland Quartet doing Ravel and Debussy
Herreweghe conducting some Mozart wind music
This CD, especially for the Trois poemes de Mallarme, but it includes so much good music.
Lastly, this wonderful Gershwin collection.
