Dance #1 Philip Glass

I cannot under-estimate how much this one piece completely transformed how I listened to music. Almost 40 years later, I still love it as much as ever, and yet I well understand why you may hate it intensely. Please, at least, give it a fair chance before writing it off...

It seems repetitive enough to drive most people crazy, but if you take the time to listen closely, you may reach a different conclusion, as I did.

If I had to choose a desert-island album, Dances #1-5 would qualify.
