• Max Richter: Sleep Album Review | Pitchfork
  The audacious composer Max Richter has created an eight-hour piece meant to serve as a sleep aid. But it is more than that. For these\\xa031 uninterrupted pieces, Richter accepts the extraordinary challenge of not only aiding sleep but also translating the act into art. If you listen while you\\u2019re awake, many of these pieces conjure dreamy states, where ideas seem fluid and flexible and the world around you seems somehow softer.

• Max Richter SLEEP
  The glacially-paced movements slide in and out of focus throughout the concert inviting the audience to experience what Richter essentially considers a protest against our relentlessly \\u2018switched on\\u2019 lives. Offering the unique opportunity to participate in this confrontation of our mechanized way of living.

  Composers from that movement were Mr. Richter\\u2019s earliest inspirations. As a boy in small-town Britain in the 1970s, he would get records from his family\\u2019s milkman, an artist who was tapped into the music of La Monte Young, Terry Riley and Philip Glass. He fell in love with Satie\\u2019s furniture music, and, eventually, the ambient soundscapes of Brian Eno.

  Drums and Wires is the third studio album by the English rock band XTC, released 17 August 1979 on Virgin Records. It is a more pop-oriented affair than the band\'s previous, Go 2 (1978), and was named for its emphasis on guitars ("wires") and expansive-sounding drums.
