Autechre (AE) exai http://bleep.com/ (official release date 4/5 March) AE is an UK electronic duo focusing solely on the music. Unlike Aphex Twin, Amon Tobin or Squarepusher, ..., they do not give any light shows and perfom only with lights off. Their music is very innovative much closer to the experimental and electro-acoustic compositions of the modern classical composers (e.g Ives, Parmeggiani, ...) , then to the electronic rock/pop. They do have lot of counterintuitive randomness in their work. At the same time, their compositions sound like they were completely composed by the turing machines. But this fascinating extend of such inaccessible mechanical beauty seems to be possible only by the intentional artificiality created in the ideal world of our non deterministic machines - brains.


Intronaut Habitual Levitations - for me, the best deconstruction of Alice in chains (and Tool)... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJEW2PHyspE) although Layne Staley is irreplaceable


Oval and Microstoria (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI1HFEZR8Xo) experimental electronic projects, searching the details of rhytmical inconsistencies, that can be shown (they are ostensive), but not described (http://www3.nd.edu/~jspeaks/courses/2007-8/43904/_HANDOUTS/wittgenstein-naming-ostensive.pdf).


Alfred Schnittke, symphonies 6-8 and 4th quartet, this is happiness in the meaning of Imre Kertész, the true happiness, that nobody is curious to. We rather fight for the happiness without the problems, without the truth...the shallow empty banality of the selfreference


Blotted science, Behold...The arctopus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNotnzziVmg, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt20Dj-DoTQ) is the unique progressive approach integrating the 20th century "classical music/including the 2nd Viennese school" with instrumental virtuosity of technical metal


Meshuggah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBEUTntgMOI, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht7kTC7_SjM) - their odd rhythmical axiomatics is intrinsic and the tunes and singing are only its secondary characteristics...(deductively derived) - ((see Rethinking Metal Aesthetics: Complexity, Authenticity, and Audience in Meshuggah’s I and Catch Thirtythr33 from Eric T. Smialek, Schulich School of Music, McGill University Montréal, QC. Canada & Re-casting Metal: Rhythm and Meter in the Music of Meshuggah from Jonathan Pieslak))


Animals as leaders (AAL) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAyIJNqbqTE)"The secret to Animals As Leaders' appeal is that on the surface it seems like sugar-coated progressive metal --not too heavy, not too dark, constantly melody-driven--, but underneath it is really a carefully assembled and executed collection of highly technical tracks". However, the second album Weightless is as good as the first, but "this time you have heard it before". (in http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/46481/Animals-as-Leaders-Weightless/). Therefore AAL has changed the drummer to Matts Garstka (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYxO6VNlguA)


Olivier Messiaen The end of time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QrGzES0UNk, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNbjQTSkin0), the visual interpretation: the meaning is not transcendental, if we want to change it, we have to change the colour syntax...


Carlo Gesualdo di Venosa (1560), Death for Five Voices, Werner Herzog, 1995 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6iaghGYSjc), so progressive and radical harmonies, that they seem “atonal” = without the clear tonal center (shifts of the harmonic center), constantly alternated between the major and minor intervals, with the complete chromatization of the scale...


What would be atonality, if the music was based on the quartertones? (Hába, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WbuxPI6jhA; Wyschnegradsky, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2biiLLoF4Y; Ives, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LgBT3anNUU)
