    Skip "Clapping". It's fun but you wouldn't listen to it for anything other than intellectual interest. Other Reich though - Drumming is a wonderful midpoint between formalistic process-driven music but it still can give you goosebumps. He gets less process driven as time goes on - which I think is a good thing in many ways. For me probably the high point of his work is something like Music for 18 Musicians. Simultaneously a work of symmetry and structure - but it sounds like art. It sounds like an artist.
