Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

4. Steve ReichMusic For 18 Musicians

I’ve spent decades trying to make music that recreates the uplifting feeling this record gives me. I hear something new with every listen. [In the early Slint days] We were all into Philip Glass quite a bit, but Reich was the only composer we were into back in the 80s.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Colin Newman, Foals, , Pixies, Lloyd Cole
