There are alot of modern composers.. forget post-rock, check out the label Tzadik.

Toby Driver in particular, his solo work and his band Kayo Dot.

Yeah, malmsteen's arrogance is pretty annoying, lol- brilliant guitarist though. It's so sad about becker's disease.

I say music can be what it wants as long as it's origonal and innovative.

modern classical - could mean anything I guess. Don't think it necessarily has to be original or innovative- something that derives from something else can be just as interesting to listen to.

not that innovative and original aren't good qualities of course! But Stravinsky plagiarised Bach, Oasis plagiarised the Beatles etc etc

"Modern Classical" Sure I think theres a such thing, if it doesn't fall into any other music category, the genre is classical but with some "modern elements"

god i loved that album, socool to chill out to. I still have it somewhere, and it introduced me to Michael nyman.

It can be "modern classical" if it's modern music, but based on the principles of the music written during the classical period, which fell roughly between 1730-1820 (between baroque and romantic).
