I'm a fan of much of Reich's music. (For those who think this means I'll listen to anything, please consider that I don't care much at all for Glass or Riley.) That said, I don't think I've ever heard the entire piece in question. I do have a excerpt of it on an ECM sampler LP from the 80's, and have enjoyed that segment on more than one occasion, so there you go.
One thing I have noticed is that when I hear various recordings of the same Reich piece, I find very little to choose between them, at least in terms of actual interpretive nuance. The preferences come down to things like recorded sound and instruments used (Reich works are often transcribed for other instruments.)
Some of my favorite Reich pieces:
Music for a Large Ensemble (which is very much in the vein of "18 Musicians")
Tehillim (the second movement especially)
The Dessert Music
Different Trains
Electric Counterpoint
Putting on my flame-proof suit....
