I've been going on about him all week, I know. So I thought I'd post The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds, which samples Reich's Electric Counterpoint and is generally constructed along the lines of his method and that of other minimalists: loads of electronic music derives from his sampling techniques (e.g. Aphex Twin, Radiohead's later work and lots of others).
Reich was highly amused by the sample, and told his record company not to sue, which was rather sweet of him.

I had to listen to it again on the way home last night too! A classic.
