Philip Glass loved diving into the house music scene in London in the swingin’ 1990s. He just couldn’t stay up late enough to become a part of it, the legendary composer says in the latest issue of the UK’s The Big Issue:
The last reference is to “The Glass Cut” of the 1989 S’Express track “Hey Music Lover” (which is available for less than the cost of recycled wax, according to discogs.)
Glass is a major influence on electronic music regardless, though his early riser habits, while good for his own prodigious work, means we’ll probably never hear him remix himself.
Philip Glass was interviewed as part of The Big Issue’s “Letter To My Younger Self” feature which will be released later this week.
