ZOMG Moira Heroes and Low. Symphonies. PHILIP GLASS.

I have Glass's "Low Symphony", featuring Bowie and Eno, if you'd like to borrow it.

no, that was me at Borders discovering that CD -- except it's both "Low" AND parts of "Heroes" redone as symphony -- and gleefully using my Borders Rewards bucks on it.

I've liked Philip Glass since the Truman Show.

(And he has a great soundtrack for the Illusionist)

I've been listening since "Glassworks" was the bulk of the score for "Koyaanisqatsi."

OMFG WHAT WHAT

WHAT

"Bowie & Eno meet Glass: Heroes/Low Symphonies," it says on the spine.

"Music composed by Philip Glass from the music of David Bowie & Brian Eno," it says.

The American Composers Orchestra, The Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra.

Heroes, Abdulmajid, Sense of Doubt, Sons of the Silent Age, Neukoln (oh god how I love Neukoln, how many mixtapes did that go on as a bridge piece?), V2 Schneider. Subterraneans, Some Are, Warszawa.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE?

Aphex Twin did a remix where he mixed the Glass and Bowie versions of "Heroes" together. It's pretty amazingly awesome; I can upload it if you like.

OH YES PLEASE

Your wish is my command! ;-)

Thank you!

Now, if only I could find, SOMEWHERE, a link to the French version of "Heroes." I would pay money for it, absolutely -- it isn't on iTunes that I can find. Maybe Amazon, haven't checked yet. PLEASE HELP.
