Mick, I suggest you open up a Pandora.com account and set up a "John Adams" station. This is the best way I've found to find music that "sounds like" other artists that I like.
Recommend me more like John Adams..
Hi all
I just bought John Adams "The Dharma at Big Sur". It's an incredibly beautiful, indian-influenced piece featuring an electric violin. Somehow I just connect to it and find myself transported. Do check it out if you get a chance.
I'd like to find more music like this. I already enjoy Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, Gorecki's 3rd Symphony, and Arvo Part's Fratres, which are in some sense similar to the Adams work. Could anyone recommend more music similar to this? I like all kinds of music and love to discover and explore new stuff.
I have been put off by some avant garde music that just seems to me to be chaotic. I enjoy listening to music that is serene but not to the point of soporific.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
cheers
Mick
