From pretty much the first time I'd heard/heard of Glass (conceivably Koyannisqatsi) I found him kind of boring, and didn't listen carefully, except for the Kronos Quartet performs Philip Glass album, because I love KQ. Apparently dismissing Glass is a thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tizP7IFyWig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tizP7IFyWig
Anyway, after many years I've listened carefully and love it all. I hope to experience (and will gladly fly to) a live performance of Einstein on the Beach someday. Like the infinitely more sophisticated person in the linked video, I was wrong about Glass.
- indigodaddy 4y agoPretty much same for me. Listened very casually/cursorily/briefly in my late teens, tried a few times again in my 20s and 30s, and found it kind of boring and unexceptional. Then in my early 40s I dug in a bit and really started actually listening and exploring. And oh man what a wide universe of musical discovery burst forth for me after that. And I couldn’t believe that I didn’t put in a little effort earlier..
