This is very impressive.
By: WithExtremePrejudice. on 04 Nov 08, 21:07:14
I love this piece, and the performance in this trailer is great, but I'm not sure that western Michigan qualifies as "The Heartland."
By: TheHeathenz. on 01 Nov 08, 15:32:42
Hey i just made a video called "more original music" would you listen to it and tell me what you honestly think?
By: galindes. on 29 Oct 08, 22:44:56

By: synestheticmusic. on 05 Sep 08, 19:35:33

By: LeviDenham. on 22 Aug 08, 06:33:48
Just wanted to send another shout out to Alex Ross for writing about this touching performance of Reich's minimal masterpiece. Glad I followed up. Congrats and thanks for posting!
By: poddypoldi. on 21 Aug 08, 18:11:40
This is absolutely fantastic! I truly love this piece, and I think their performance is the best. Thanks to the New Music Ensemble at Grand Valley State University, thanks to the heartland, thanks to Allendale, Michigan!!!

Had it a couple of years and since the ad has been on the tv for Orange I've been annoying people..........so have finally posted it on Facebook. HA!!!!!! Now they will see the True power of the 3rd Reich N Roll (please look into The Residents before any slander to my good name).

La música es genial,pero el video es una culada directo al hígado, se supone que son músicos academicos no popstars.

loves to have found this
By: luobin458. on 09 Jul 08, 11:08:10
recording sounds great - and trailer is v good!
By: rhymeswithgabriel. on 03 Jul 08, 04:51:45
"gay name"? the whole point of the name is to put emphasis on the listener taking what they will from the music. not making each and every listener think they are listening to an orangutan swinging through a colorful jungle!
By: JeeRant. on 02 Jul 08, 06:12:54
I imagine Reich would be pretty horrified if he heard you say that.
By: maxie355a. on 13 Jun 08, 21:15:59
gay name. I love the music, sounds like an orangutan swinging through a colorful jungle... underwater. It should be called "Underwater forest" or "underwater forest medaly"
By: NoShame00. on 12 Jun 08, 20:09:30
Bought this album a few weeks ago-- it's exceptional, somehow superior to the Reich ensemble
By: telemaster1988. on 02 May 08, 04:24:27
Not sure...how about you ask them instead of complaining about it?
By: ToSpinPlates. on 26 Apr 08, 03:37:25
"perfecting" Why don't those pianists alternate that pulse properly instead of faking it?
