I don't disagree. There's always been a reluctance in Western Music to
embrace rhythm, and I'd argue it was only with Reich and Glass that it
has been incorporated into Western Art music. For me though, it was
the incorporation of experimentation with timbre _and_ rhythm that
music really gets exciting. I'd cite Miles Davis, and more recently
Nils Petter Molvaer. Jon Hassell's concept of a "coffee colored" music
is most appealing to me. But I'm not knocking Stockhausen. Trans and
Mantra would both be desert island discs on my list.
