ditto on The Hours, great stuff... I best like him when he collaborates with "world" musicians, such ason "Passages" with Ravi Shankar and the amazingly beautiful "Aguas de amazonia" with Uakti, Brazilian guys making instruments with water and tubes... would also recommend his stuff for solo piano, the "Metamorphosis" series, as well as his Akhnaten opera, I only know a couple of the tracks from it (from a comp) but they're beautiful... and I would steer clear from the Music in 12 parts, never been able to endure more than a couple of minutes of it ; and also the weak Bowie-inspired Berlin Trilogy... another thing : some of the works quoted below are soundtracks to experimental movies, has anyone seen them ? worth hunting down the DVDs ?
