I got into this piece as a student, in fact it was the first work of his I ever heard. I listened to it a lot then, not so much today. I revisited it recently and was not as enamored with it as in the past. It was, however, a different recording than the one I cut my teeth on. Contrary to my previous statement about there not being much to choose between various recordings of the same Reich piece, in this case the piece was almost unrecognizable to me in spots. I'm used to the MTT recording from 1985. The Leipzig performance that comes up on YT is pretty rotten. The canons about halfway through are a train wreck. Avoid. Even with a good performance, the texture is rather heavy and may put off some folks. Tehillim explores much of the same area with a much smaller ensemble and is probably a better entry point to Reich's music for voices and instruments together.
Of course, it helps to spell "Desert" correctly while we're at it. Jeez.
