One would have thought Steve Reich called it Clapping Music for a reason... As for flamenco, aren't the stomping and sometimes castanets integral part of the rhythm? And the singing too? I dare not pretend to know much about music in front of the real experts here on CA of course... Now song of the day:

 

Luigi Boccherini: Guitar Quintet in D Major G.448 - IV. Fandango

Carmina Quartet, Rolf Lislevand, Nina Corti

Indeed they are. It was just stating a personal preference, some modern music can sometimes be a bit overly minimalistic... Interesting from a conceptual perspective but a bit insipid.

To me this isn't a matter of preference but far more a matter of accuracy to source. Steve Reich is Steve Reich, flamenco is flamenco and Boccherini is Boccherini right? By the way, recently after a shipboard walkaround tour organized by the photo department on a big cruise ship, people were showing their photos. The lady ship photog saw my plant photos and noticed my affinity to Karl Bloßfeldt. So I guess I am objectivist at heart.

 

As for insipidness in minimalist music, I don't know. I'm not nearly as discerning as most here on CA. Hey, I even like operas. So my taste is obviously questionable. In any case, Song of the Day:

 

Steve Reich: Pendulum Music

Joan Cerveró, Víctor Trescolí, Isabel León, Estefanía Sánchez

Deee-Lite: "Groove Is In The Heart"

I have listened to this piece live and enjoyed it (even bought the CD, which by the way is a good test track):
