	Steve Reich's "Different Trains" (1988)
		Different Trains, released in 1989, captures Reich harnessing a return to using speech patterns in his work, as in 'Rain,' with a spare though startling string accompaniment in the form of the Kronos Quartet.
		The 'Different Trains' theme originates from Reich's childhood, several wartime years spent travelling with his governess between his estranged parents, his mother in Los Angeles and his father in New York.
		By combining the sound of train whistles, pistons and the scream of brakes with extracts of speech by porter Lawrence Davis, who took the same rides as Reich between the big apple and Los Angeles, governess Virginia and three holocaust survivors (Paul, Rachel and Rachella), Reich creates music of great intensity and feeling.

	Carnegie Hall - Steve Reich @ 70
		Different Trains, for string quartet and tape, begins a new way of composing that has its roots in my early tape pieces It’s Gonna Rain (1965) and Come Out (1966).
		The speech samples and train sounds were transferred to tape with the use of sampling keyboards and a computer.
		Different Trains is in three movements, although that term is stretched here, since tempos change frequently in each movement.

	Different Trains Music at Shop Ireland
		The idea of recording speech and integrating this into a musical performance is not new, but the effect achieved here certainly is. The various train effects that are added, such as a steam whistle, are skilfully and tellingly deployed.
		The piece sounds very much as if it were written in two parts - one in which the survivors describe their experiences, and the other relating to post-war America (and, seemingly, an entirely different set of trains with a different message - though maybe this is what the composer wanted!).
		'Different Trains' is one of those pieces of music it's easy to call a masterpiece.

	Music : Different Trains (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Reich's phase-shifting minimalism is made dazzlingly entertaining in Different Trains, which is scored for string quartet and digitally sampled voices that repeat bits of speech concerning trains and Reich's experience with them growing up.
		Different trains starts in this innocuous sort of vein - dubbed over the percussive railway noises and ubiquitous steam whistle effects are what appear to be wistful, nostalgic reminiscences of train journeys of the past.
		It is not unreasonable to consider Different Trains to be Steve Reich's masterpiece.

		His governess Virginia, who accompanied him on his childhood train trips, Lawrence Davis who was a porter on the trains that Reich rode on, and three survivors of the hollocaust, Paul, Rachel and Rachella.
		In addition the sounds of steam trains, their screeching brakes, the whistles and the relentless, purcussive sound of the wheels on the train tracks add an ever-urgent intensity as the piece progresses.

		Different Trains was a highly original and experimental band based in the Portsmouth area, largely as a vehicle for the multi instrumental and songwriting talents of Damon Shulman.
		A harder and more modern slant on his family's complex and eclectic progressive rock tradition resulted in the recording of Different Trains' debut CD On The Right Track, which was finally released by GEP in June 1994.
		An attempt to resurrect the band in 1998 proved abortive, and sadly their quirky originality and eccentric genius, not to mention the occasional commercial hookline, Different Trains are currently residing in the category of truly great bands that might have been.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Quatuor Bozzoni: Steve Reich - Different Trains
		Reich is also Jewish; in addition to travel, distance and the romanticism of train travel, Different Trains is colored by a deep-rooted awareness of World War II and the spectre of the Holocaust.
		Samples of actual trains from the relevant era are layered beneath the strings, and cut-and-pasted voice recordings reminisce disconnectedly about train routes and the war.
		Different Trains does what any good piece of music should do: addresses the personal in a larger cultural context.

	American Composers Orchestra -October 8, 2003 - Carnegie Hall
		The idea for Different Trains is drawn from the composer’s childhood, when he traversed the country by train, traveling between Los Angeles and New York to visit his parents during the years 1939 – 1942.
		In reflection, these train trips are contrasted with the very different trains that were bringing Jews in Europe to concentration camps during that time.
		The music is for string orchestra, without double basses, and electronic tape with which the composer recorded sounds of trains from the 1930’s and 40’s, interviews with holocaust survivors, and a retired train Pullman porter.

		He set about collecting recordings to effectively recreate and document the atmosphere of his travels to contrast with those of the unfortunate refugees.
		The New York Times hailed Different Trains as 'a work of… astonishing originality' and the piece was subsequently awarded a Grammy in1989 for Best Contemporary Compostion.
		'Trains,' however, is the definitive statement on this record and it is a disc that contemporary music lovers should definitely possess.

	Different strokes for different folks... - Trains.com Forums
		But, I like trains so much that, until this past Christmas, when I spend a lot more time setting up a village and snow for my Christmas On30 set, that I began to contemplate something more involved and permenent.
		In the real world trains don't go in circles, they go from point A to point B. This does not mean that there cannot be a loop, it just means that the fact that there is a loop is deliberately being hidden.
		Even at "stage five" there are times that it is relaxing and enjoyable to sit and watch trains run around the layout in something like a circle.

	The Notwist: Different Cars and Trains - PopMatters Music Review
		In an attempt to prolong the positive momentum, and to throw the fans a bit of a bone to whet their appetites until a new album is recorded, the Notwist have put out the five-song, 30-minute EP Different Cars and Trains.
		The question on the minds of every fan of the band has to be, "What direction are they going to take their music in next?" Well, if you want a definite answer with this new EP, you're not going to get it.
		The dance-oriented beats offer only a slight change to the already uptempo "Pilot", but the difference on "Neon Golden" is a bit more interesting, the light funk of the straightforward beats contrasting with the acoustic guitar and banjo of the original track.

		Spanish officials are blaming the Basque separatist group ETA for a massive ten-bomb attack on three Madrid train stations during the morning rush hour that killed at least 190 people and wounded 1,200 only three days before Spain's general election.
		Police said at least two potential suspects were seen jumping off a train in Madrid, and up to three more explosives were found in backpacks on trains, which were defused, reported Britain's Sky News.
		Previously, the highest death toll in an ETA attack was 21 killed in a Barcelona supermarket bombing in 1987.

		Those performances are only available on separate discs, however, each coupled with other works by Reich, so the Smith Quartet have the field to themselves for anyone wanting his works for string quartet together.
		In the semi-autobiographical Different Trains the use of pre-recorded interviews generates the speech melodies on which the whole work is based, and places it closer to the documentary style of Reich's video operas than to his other instrumental pieces.
		Triple Quartet is a virtuoso compositional exercise in which the live quartet is heard against two recordings of itself in a 12-part texture.
