I'm not familiar with the piece in question, but I'd say to anyone interested in Glass not to pass judgement without first listening to Koyaanisqatsi (preferably seeing the film as well, it's great IMO) and Songs from Liquid Days. But don't look for anything like prog rock per se.

You either like "minimilism" or repetitiveness, or you don't I think. I will say that no arpeggiators were used in the process of Glass' music, to my knowledge, unless I'm mistaken, yadayada. And I've sure heard some Glass pieces I don't care if I hear again, but others I've really enjoyed. I even embraced a touch of opera; certain pieces from his collected opera stuff Songs from the Trilogy really do it for me.
