Reich, Steve

Four Organs·phase Patterns

Repress! This classic minimal music album is now available again on vinyl for the first time since the '70s. When these pieces first appeared, on the adventurous French record label Shandar, they were regarded as defining works within a musical movement that had developed during the late 1960s. Reich was seen as a pioneer of minimalism, along with La Monte Young, Terry Riley and Philip Glass, whose music also featured in the Shandar catalogue. These two tracks from 1970 are purely minimalist, in a way that the visual artists and sculptors who formed Reich's early audiences would have recognised. The gatefold sleeve includes an insert with liner notes by Julian Cowley and a download code.
