Steve Reich: Sextet - Six Marimbas

Steve Reich does it right -you think that the rhytms at first are all the same but there is suttle differences that the ear picks up and you begin to run with the small gestures and rhytms that grow on you knawing away at your inner core. It is a little like listening to birds waiting desperately for a change of tune.

This album has been "under construction" for weeks now, unable to be purchased....would like to buy. Thanks in advance.

If Steve Reich were played on the radio, "Six Marimbas" would be a hit single. I find all of Reich's work to be incredibly intellectually stimulating, but "Six Marimbas" goes beyond mental exercise to become truly emotionally engaging. Wonderfully warm and lush, this is my favorite piece of Steve Reich. A beautiful song. Definetly worth the price of the album.
