Philip Glass
Satyagraha
Philip Glass has been (and still is) a big influence to many electronic music producers. The impression his work made on Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream and later Aphex Twin is already well-documented, but its reach extends even further forward into time. Satyagraha is the second part in Glass' thematically related Portrait Trilogy, along with Einstein On The Beach and Akhnaten. These three operas were described by Glass as portraits of people whose personal vision transformed the thinking of their times through the power of ideas rather than by military force. Satyagraha's sub-text is politics. The opera is semi-narrative in form and deals with Mahatma Gandhi's early years in South Africa and his development of non-violent protest into a political tool. This wonderful release is packed in a deluxe lift-off Box Set, including a 24-page booklet.
