Surely you must mean that Gavin Bryars is a minimalist *composer*. The other possibility is difficult to contemplate. :-)

Totally agree with the Bryars recommendation. I was at college at Leicester Poly when Bryars was developing this - I can’t describe the effect it had on a room full of students on first hearing. Cathartic, revivifying. A “must have”.

“Hot Shot City” is particularly good.

OMG, those Amazon reviews of the Hasselhof CD are hilarious!

That Ted Hawkins CD changed my life (the live double CD is also brilliant). It’s very difficult to find good songs about green-eyed girls, but Ted Hawkins’ ‘Green-Eyed Girl’ makes me cry.
David Hasselhoff also makes me cry, but in a different way…
