Philip Glass

It's Rich Costey who introduced the band to Philip Glass's music, because he had been working with him. Matthew Bellamy claimed: "With Philip Glass, his music has a lot of mystery. That was my introduction to discovering that side of music, the kind of abstract nature of music that has no lyrics and no title."

Bellamy declared that Philip Glass's soundtracks inspired the band for the beginning of Take a Bow on Black Holes and Revelations.
