63. "I wasn't talking about influence..." In response to In response to 62
I was talking about actually listening to the artists in question. And since you are obviously referring to todays EDM-era, I see absolutely no reason why that would change; the people most likely to look back are those most dissatisfied with the present. And the influence of the avantgarde-giants of 20th century "serious" music on electronic music is severely overrated (the music would be more interesting if it wasn't BTW); more than anything, the "influence" comes through in shared technology/concepts for music-making where the classical establishment was undeniably ahead of the curve. Once the technology was in the hands of the "people", it mirrored pop/dance/rock/whatever-forms more than classical; Giorgio Moroder for example is a bigger *direct* influence on EDM than any classical composer.
