Was just thinking about compositional styles and how they relate more to electronic music, since most of the music posted here has been anything but just electronic so... I'll post this, from Savant, some guy in Russia that I recently found on SC. I'm so going to buy it when he releases it. Soundcloud

Do I have to mention Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and the likes?
As for dubstep (if you can call this dubstep) I think the top of the top notch composition is this:
lloydy wrote:Deadly no disrespect i know your american but really oasis.Stone roses are simply the best band to come out of manchester and ian brown still puts out better music then both them tnuc brothers.
Also composition wise the verve were a much better band just shame they couldn't keep it together because they would have ruled for all eternity.
Also muse if you want to talk composition are head and shoulders above oasis.
I normally agree with most of what you post but you are well off the mark with that son,you feeling alright?
+1 for muse. I don't like all their stuff, but good god are they talented at composition. That and the singer is an incredible piano player. I'd love to see them live.

Oasis are the brostep of indie. That said, i much prefer them to blur. All pale imitators of the smiths anyway
Manic street preachers/gargbage/Elastica if i want a mid-90s rockout

Yep, i've got a t shirt from the tour from that album, even though i was about 6 at the time (i bought it to grow into )
I prefer the first album though overall
especially this tune
all about shirley manson- even after she left and was in the terminator: the sarah connor chronicles haha

+1 for Heart of the Sunrise. one of my favorite Yes tracks.
garbage is good, but honestly i'd just prefer to listen to my bloody valentine or sonic youth - or even the pumpkins.

i kinda thought oasis sucked, namely the lead singer
3za with your damn logic and explanations
Compositionally, for me its Led Zeppelin
i wouldn't go into jazz because there's an enormous body of compositions that've been played by countless genius musicians in different ways, so one composition can be so different every time you hear it. too hard to pick favorites when so many soloists have mercd so many pieces. plus at that level solo improvisation is akin to composing in a lotta ways

hmm..... compositionally? i've always thought the first movement of mozart's 40th was fucking ON POINT.
but the all time best song ever. debussey's Claire de Lune. nothing. fucking. gets me like that tune.
hmmm... then also going back further you have bach's much played theme "Jesu, Joy of man's desiring." that melody is just EPIC. period.
moving forward in time, we have, Georgia on My Mind, what a tune, best sung by Ray Charles imo.
then ah yes, we have the beatles. let it be, something, day in the life.
Parliament. Give up the funk. just makes me happy.
michael jackson and quincy jones. billie jean. the song is NOTHING BUT HOOKS
Radiohead. Paranoid Android.
and finally.... dude i just never get over this tune. seriously, just such a feel good tune:
Tangential, but everyone owes it to themselves to watch this movie without sound, and to listen to this movie w/o images. Absolutely incredible on both sides.
you know, it's weird. but i've never really gotten that movie. i mean i can follow it sure but i didn't find it particularly... enjoyable. it just seemed kinda of.. lifeless. i mean i feel like the original story was a futuristic morality tale with some REALLY interesting points, that they just reduced into a creepy-ish climax with dull love story attached. but i suppose i'm ranting. i did like the simpleton's little toys tho. they were really cute.
then again i think any attempt at a theatrical adaptation of the twisted genius of sci-fi's novels would come short. they are just such mind bending, deep, twisted, can't-tell-if-you're-dreaming-or-awake headtrips. and it's just plain scary when you find out how autobiographical some of them are (the entirety of a scanner darkly is a metaphor for dick's very real loss of touch with reality)
BACK ON TOPIC, can't believe i left out rufus wainwright in the category of modern composers.. he's done some AMAZING stuff, and sings with such.... wow.
check out his "Agnus Dei", he really does an interesting and mindblowing twist on the old mass

OT but i don't think there has ever been a successful IMO adaptation of any of Phillip K Dick's material to screen
