Skip "Clapping". It's fun but you wouldn't listen to it for anything other than intellectual interest. Other Reich though - Drumming is a wonderful midpoint between formalistic process-driven music but it still can give you goosebumps. He gets less process driven as time goes on - which I think is a good thing in many ways. For me…
除了别人已经提到的 Mf18M 和《鼓乐》（Drumming），我还要加上《六台马林巴/钢琴》（Six Marimbas/Pianos）、《四台管风琴》（Four Organs），尤其是《为打击乐器、人声和管风琴而作》（Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ），这些是我碰巧更喜欢的 Steve Reich 作品……
In addition to Mf18M and Drumming, which have been suggested by others, I'd also add Six Marimbas/Pianos, Four Organs, and in particular Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ, as Steve Reich pieces that I happen to enjoy more…
…quite pleasant and I can imagine listening to this for pleasure occasionally. Equate it with a piece for untuned percussion and then maybe it's not quite so unusual. The first sections of Steve Reich's Drumming are pitchless and very listenable. It's composing purely with rhythm.
重点不在于音符和音阶本身，而更多在于多节奏（polyrhythm）和相位移动（phasing）。这让我想起了 Steve Reich 的《拍手音乐》（Clapping Music），以及类似的重度依赖相移的作品（《钢琴相位》Piano Phase、《击鼓》Drumming、《木块音乐》Music for Pieces of Wood、《6台钢琴/马林巴》6 Pianos/Marimbas 以及《摆锤音乐》Pendulum Music）。
Less the notes and scales themselves, and more polyrhythms and phasing. This reminded me of Steve Reich's Clapping Music, and similar phasing-heavy works (Piano Phase, Drumming, Music for Pieces of Wood, 6 Pianos/Marimbas, and Pendulum Music).
我强烈推荐 Steve Reich 的《击鼓》（Drumming）。
I thoroughly recommend "Drumming" by Steve Reich.
跳过《拍手音乐》（Clapping）吧。它挺好玩的，但除了学术研究兴趣之外你不会想听它的。不过 Reich 的其他作品就不一样了——《击鼓》（Drumming）是一个绝妙的平衡点，既有形式主义的流程驱动音乐，又依然能让你起一身鸡皮疙瘩。随着时间推移，他的创作流程驱动色彩变淡了——在很多方面我觉得这是件好事。对我来说…

…相当悦耳，我能想象偶尔为了消遣去听听它。把它当成一部无调打击乐作品来看，也许就没那么另类了。Steve Reich 的《击鼓》（Drumming）前几个乐段是没有音高的，非常耐听。这是纯粹用节奏在进行作曲。
