This is the first studio album from Philip Glass since bad diagnosis in 1992. Music From The Screens carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. This disc has all of the essential Philip Glass classics. One of Philip Glass’s best albums yet.
The Arab Women Lament is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. This song stands out greatly from the others. Warda’s Whorehouse is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. I find myself hearing bits of Said And His Shadow Dance here and there throughout my waking hours. Said & His Shadow Dance is the albums biggest surprise. After about the third Leila Dies listen through, I began to believe this song is Philip Glass’s essence. Philip Glass is one of artists that allow his songs like The Mad Cadi’s Court to stand on their own and be heard. Ansatou is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. 19Th Century France can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Philip Glass is all about. I listened to the opening track Said’s Treason and liked it a lot. I believe The Orchard is one of the most cool, heartfelt songs ever written. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Prison Song one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Suso’s Song is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. France is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Night On The Balcony is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. In North Africa - 1962 the music gets its power.
