My 7 day Rhapsody on iPhone trial will be ending soon. I'm thinking I won't actually subscribe, especially since there are hints of a lala iphone app at some point. Also, how many more obscure Bernard Herrmann soundtracks do I really need to listen to?
It took me awhile to drop my old iPod habits and adapt to what Rhapsody has to offer -- almost any music I can think of "on demand." No more planned playlists, PC syncs, curated queues etc. Instead, think of something to hear, search for it, and hit play.
Tonight, it's three different versions of Philip Glass' Mad Rush by Donald Joyce on organ and by Bruce Brubaker and Alek Karis respectively on piano. No forethought, no planning, no work, just instantly gratifying results (well, for this Philip Glass fan, anyway).
The Don Joyce organ performance of Mad Rush is totally amazing, especially when you play it really really loud over big speakers! No iPhone can really do it justice!
That CD, Glass Organ Works, includes Dance IV and the conclusion of Satyagraha. (BMG/Catalyst 09026-61825 (1993))
It's one of my favorites.
