Not that I'm finding. That said, it's only a 3CD set, so if you have "Octet" then it's just "Music for 18 Musicians" and "Tehillim" you'd have still to get.
It's a great collection of work, I seriously love every piece.
There are parts on Tehillim where I'm just floored by the melody. But I agree that, of the three ECM albums, it's the one that demands the most specific mood.
little baffled by can & neu!’s inclusion in a thread about minimalism

Oh also, once upon a time this was two different threads, and the OP shows that I did try to delineate between sub genres just a little bit (see the defunct thread topic)
Why? Both bands have lots of minimalist material: repeated simple motifs, drone stuff…Krautrock is just a descendent of minimalist music.
i'd just put them in a krautrock thread. i'm not saying there are not some similarities between minimalism & krautrock, but they are clearly discrete entities

Dammit malloy, see my OP where I designated this as a catch-all thread for both minimalist music and krautrock. I agree they are not the same! But for me, they both tap into similar veins of tension/release through their focus on simple, repetitive melodies and rhythms, and empty space. I think a band like Can is a couple degrees from someone like John Adams, and about a thousand degrees from someone like Pearl Jam.
