5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Philip Glass - You want this CD, April 23, 1999

By	Gregory W. May (Houston) - See all my reviews

While this CD get's no press, I think it is another great work from Philip Glass. I find it to be a fast moving high-energy work. To give perspective some of my other favorite Philip Glass CD's are : Song's from Liquid Day's, Photographer, Hydrogen Jukebox, Kundun, Glassworks and Einstein on the Beach. If you like Philip Glass, you will like this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Know before you buy!, August 4, 2005

By	T. Enst - See all my reviews

This is not typical Glass music, I do not believe. The emphasis of the opera as well as the music is to create an impression of the incredible and amazing, not so much to create a landscape and gaze at it, as Philip Glass music often does.

For someone who is new to Philip Glass' older works, this may be a gentle introduction. For more seasoned fans who do not know about the opera, you may want to do your homework first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!, March 19, 2007

By	John Gray Hunter Jr. "smartalex" (Wilmington, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is incidental music to a play, so it's all wordless [the voice of Linda Ronstadt being used as an instrument] and contained. It's Glass' take on a classic sci-fi score...his version of the original Star Trek theme. [that's why the electric keyboard sound...which is not "cheesy" but essential to the scale and mood of the piece] Sometimes dreamy, sometime frantic, it is full of invention and mood.
Great for driving!!
