Personally listening to minimalism is fun but not always super-fulfilling, musically. Works like "Music in 12 Parts" by Glass are more like "These textures are cool" whereas a work like "The Chairman Dances" by Adams is more like "These textures are cool, and the piece really goes somewhere too" and so I find the latter more fulfilling. But equally pleasant.
