>I think the whole thing is really funny.

yeah. esp. the part where stocky claims that aphex et.al are "stuck in the
african tribal rhythm mode" or something. and aphex inviting him around.
would love to listen in on that meeting of minds...

>Can anyone recommend some
>Stockhausen and other important 20th century European classical to me?

for stockhausen, hymnen and gesang der junglinge are the two killer
electronic pieces. unfortunately neither are availabe on a domestic (US)
CD. vinyl is scarce and the stockhausen-verlag issues are still incredibly
overpriced.

Also check out:

for electronics: henry/schaefer/varese (esp. poeme electronique) for the
classics, also the columbia/princeton stuff (ussachevsky/luening/max
matthews). bayle/ferarri/xenakis (esp bohor) for the midperiod. pomassl for
current day (IMHO comparable to all of the former...)

for orchestral/chamber/solo: ligeti (who did do some electronics, i.e
artikulation), kagel, haba, lachenmann, feldman, dumitrescu, etc...

>And who's Daniel Pemberton?

I beleieve he was one half of 2 player w/ jon tye. real young at the time,
sort of a wunderkind...

>One of my favorites is Ligetti (Lih-gi-tee).  If you have seen the movie
>2001: A Space Odyssey (IMHO, the greatest movie of all time) then you have
>heard some of Ligetti's vocal work in the parts where the pre-human people
>(and later astronauts) encounter the monolith.

agree w/ lontano. brilliant stuff. also st.luke's passion, threnody for the
victims of hiroshima. cheers- hrv=E5tski.
