Share this post

Wow! This is one of the coolest things we’ve heard in awhile. Philip Glass, one of America’s most acclaimed composers, is the focus of REWORK Philip Glass remixed, a two-disc album/2xLP of remixed Philip Glass works. The album is coming out on October 23 on The Kora Records.

The collection boasts remixes from David Bowie, Björk, and Lou Reed to name but a few. Check out Beck‘s tripped out 20-minute song, “NYC: 73-78,”  which contains portions from over  20 Glass tracks, which he pieced together and re-conceptualzed.

Pat Ferrise grew up loving ”the punk rock” and “new wave.” His years at one of the nation’s top college radio stations ultimately led him to a 15-year run as music director of alternative music icon WHFS Washington/Baltimore. Rolling Stone magazine named him of the most influential programmers of the 90s. He’s recorded two albums under the moniker Trampoline for the now defunct SpinArt label. He lives in Baltimore and takes no credit for writing this bio.
