Is Steve Reich aware of this rendition? It's the best I've seen on youtube so far! Great Work!

The stereo effect of the polyrhythms in this is amazing in headphones.

I listen to this in the gym when I run. The tempo gives me a great pace to run to. So wonderfully well performed.

All the best to the six guys involved, hope the war in Ukraine hasn't caught up to them. We're all better than the shittiness of imperialism and geopolitics... we easily fall victim to it, but we rarely ever see the benefits.

Love to you all <3

bravooo! been listening to the 'bang on a can' version of 2x5 for years but this recording with all the instruments in beautiful stereo atmosphere is an absolute 10/10

I've been feeding off Reich's Variations as his masterpiece for years. Don't know why it took me so long to discover this other one.

[JohnSheppard]

Immaculate recording and performance, gentlemen. This is now my favourite recording of this modern masterpiece. Thank you!

[lesimprosdulezardvert]

Fabulous ! Steve Reich added this "pop" music with bass to his repertoire, incredible

[CYGNO]

This is amongst the best piece of Steve Reich's work performance that I have ever seen or heard. The staging, playing, recording, production, filming, editing and mixing are all superb! Also the piece itself is so good. The sound of this band is fabulous.

[Lichfeldian--Suttonian]

I love the use of stereo here to great effect. I wish all of Steve Reich’s phased music was played like this. It brings out a whole new perspective on his music. Come to that, perhaps 5.1 could be even better! The possibilities could be endless.

[RaccoonEatingCacti]

Aaaand down the minimalism rabbit hole I go again. So cool

[docbailey]

Comment #100. My favourite Reich, and now my favourite recording.

[radiofloyd]

The timbres used here are unlike anything I've heard from any steve reich recording I've listened to yet, and that's to your credit! Great work!

[rafaelbrenerrosa]

Ohhh Man this is Manuel Gotsching E2-E4.... Steve Reich... The foundation of electronic music...Instrumental... Amanzing!!!

[realatomizer]

Wow... best version of 2x5 I've ever heard. On headphones of course.

[boosh]

Coming into this as a guitar player, the use of whammy/ring mod adds a really cool texture to the overall sound. That said, the sound and playing by everybody is fantastic

[parh]

Это русские ребята! Играют и снимают! Браво!

[edwardshear]

I saw this at Carnegie Hall with Bang on the Can... The mix was so different at the concert than the recorded version. At the concert, the percussion was louder and had much more attack. This version gets much closer than what I heard at the concert. 

Also, when I saw this performed, they dod not do the overdub... they had 10 performers.

[bognat]

Je découvre cette version géniale mais j'ai aussi apprécié le concert donné à Nantes avec Bang on a Can All Stars en 2012. Et en plus, il y avait le "Maitre", Steve Reich. Inoubliable! Cet artiste est un génie.

[Z-eb]

Brilliant, just as good if not better than Bang on a Can`s version !!!!
