    Act III of this album is absolutely beautiful and insane! (However I must admit the first two acts - aside from the classic and glorious classic Glass pompous marching themes - are rather annoying due to the never-ending soprano voice: Our hears can only withstand so much! In fact I've only converted Movement III to my iPod. Back to Movement III - Wow! This is both Classic and New Glass. I dare you to listen to the intro witout weeping. And the climax: with the layering of Polyrythms the orchestra members seem to be momentarly fighting amongst one another when they fold into a beautiful and New platuea of Glass madness! What an accomplishment Mr. Glass. I'm proud of you! I'm sure as you we're writing it you were thinking: "There is no way they're gonna pull this one off." If there is one fault with Act III it is the skip in the disc - were, no doubt - there was an edit: because ultimately, the orchestra COULD'NT pull it off! I'm sure several takes were needed for the orchestra to pull off the beautiful and insane complexity of the climax, and thus edited together. The skip is annoying however. All in all...Movement is a Philip Glass masterpiece. Wow Mr. Glass...They will remember you for this one!
