Here's a wonderful blog post the examines Philip Glass's career and points to an article in the NY Times where several of the Times' music critics give opinions on American Minimalism. The Times article is from August 10, 2007
The author spends a bit of time discussing Glass's 1980s album Glassworks which makes a great entry point to the music of Philip Glass if you have yet to really hear this music.
