Steve Reich & Kronos Quartet – Different Trains / Electric Counterpoint

Loscil: I distinctly remember listening to this record in the university library listening room almost 30 years ago and being blow away by the execution of it. I’m big into concepts and programmatic music, but sometimes it goes too far and can be cheesy. I feel like the concept of turning train announcements into music could have turned into complete schlock but in Reich/Kronos hands it’s genius.
