Philip Glass is best known for being a minimalist, experimental composer. And that is certainly the case with Anima Mundi.
The majority of this album is pure Glass. Simple, repetitive, with lots of quirkiness. That doesn't mean it is bad. It just means that it is Glass and if you don't like Glass, then you aren't going to like this. However if you are a fan like I am, then this album is perfect.
There are two stand out songs in my opinion. "Perpetual Motion" really gives you the feeling of movement as you listen to it and is quintessential Glass. The other is "Living Waters". This track is arguably the most melodic on the album and it was sampled in another Glass album - The Truman Show.
I really enjoy this album but it isn't for everybody. And isn't for people who like grand sweeping scores with lots of instruments. It is for people who enjoy the limits of what music can be.
