Just wanted to share that. Carnegie Hall has a tremendous site dedicated to his work:

I'm not much for contemporary composers, but I had my hair blown back by Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" about ten years ago when I heard Brian Eno discuss it at a conference. Been a fan ever since.

Excellent piece.

I was introduced to Steve Reich in music school.

When you get your ears stretched like that, you'll never look back.

Eno's a god.
