Cool piece of Music

I was at a Symphony concert over the week where they played this and it caught my attention of being really cool. So I went to the library to try and borrow it, and they didn't have it (Being a Music University library I can't figure out why not... they have other John Adams pieces, but not this one.) so I searched on the net for it and found it at Amazon.com I'm going to buy it sometime next week too.
Anyway to the piece.
The first movement has no title, but a description. An Oil tanker, Lifting clear off the water into the air and bursting, with clouds trailing, and seawater still gushing forth from it, clean over Bay Bridge in San Fransisco, and powering/gliding its way to the horizon.
Audio Sample for Windows Media Player
The second movement is called the "Antifortas Wound" and is an evocation of a deep emotional sadness/pain of the world.
Another Audio Sample
it's a very powerfull sound, and I highly reccomend it. You can get it from Amazon.com if your passionate as me about it... but then some people don't like this kinda stuff.
I just happened to love it.
Oh by the way, the piece is called:
