Minimalism, back in the early/mid '80s... Whether it was Penguin Cafe Orchestra or Steve Reich, there's no way I would have heard that stuff, let alone become a fan of something relatively avaunt-guard... Of all the things I heard on "New Sounds," it would be really hard to choose between "Tehelim" and "Music for a Found Harmonium," with honorable mention to "Voices of Light" and "Koyaanisqatsi" as favorite music I owe to John.
