Really meant to be experienced as a video-opera. This is Steve Reich no longer minimalist and with tales of social significance to tell. This is a complete work, not an experimentation. I do not listen to much classical music but I do listen to a lot of what I call modern classical (Glass, Reich, John Adams, Ligeti, Part) which, to me, hits the same nerves as prog rock does.
