Philip Glass influence?

On the track #1 from strawberry Jam and there is a track on MPP as well forget the title but Panda is the main vocals. #1 the piano or most like synth sounds like something Glass would come up with that ethereal,majestic vibe. Not that I am a Glass aficionado or anything but I have heard enough of his to think it reminds me of that.

Daily Routine is the sequel to #1 in my headcanon

you're not wrong about the PG comparison but i would point it more broadly at his other minimalist superstar contemporaries—the terry riley synth/organ textures and the steve reich phasing (really morein the intro to each)

i think both songs are really good! especially considering they could easily be too on the nose considering their sound sorta sticks out of the ouvre

Daily Routine is the sequel to Chores, at least in my head, given that the subject matter is very similar and both songs start with a more chaotic, fast-paced first half that dissolves into a slow looping transcendent ambience

Back on topic, I definitely hear the Glass comparisons

definitely listen to Einstein on The Beach to hear DR and #1; Panda did not thank Philip in his PP liner notes as far as I remember. There is a documentary on youtube about Philip Glass that unwittingly shows he is an asshole who perpetually dates younger women, seemingly ignores his children to focus on his art and his "spiritual practice," in which he hires "shamans" from different eastern religious traditions to bring him on vision quests. the music is sublime tho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faqB17OCBnA
