So went to Spotify to listen his Works for Orchestra with Michael Tilson Thomas and the SF Orchestra. I will need to listen a few more time before I make up my mind. Is there anything by him that I should seek out or perhaps (gasp) buy?

Weird and fun, if not better than other contemporary composers. I do like that his palette is so different, but I've heard the same tricks more than once in his pieces, so I'm not sure of his range. I'm not sure if I would pay for a concert ticket. Lot's of dead composers I'd rather hear. Just shoot me.
