It's all about late Ligeti. Hamburg Concerto is a masterpiece. Also check out Benedict Mason, Hans Abrahamsen and Unsuk Chin.

I listened to the Hamburg concerto yesterday. Loved it. indeed probably the best thing ive heard from ligeti so far.

what other 20th composer youd recommend?

So I've only heard his work from the movie Eyes Wide Shut, and I loved what I heard. That score is my top 5 fav soundtracks. Definitely interested in discovering more of his stuff though. Thanks for posting the thread!

audit a 20th century music class at ur community college m8. you'll learn more than u ever could in here.

Did you listen to Ligeti quartets? They are mind blowing!!

Not feeling all the Messiaen stuff I've heard (most of his stuff is organ and pretty heavy going, if anyone can suggest any entry points that would be appreciated) , but this is a stunning piece of music:

The organ stuff is largely function music, not art music

But check out "Trois Petite Liturgies"

"O Sacrum Convivium"

"Preludes pour Piano"

"Trois Melodies"

Cheers man. Will add it to the list of stuff I need to check out. As it happens Ascension followed the one I posted on Youtube and the little bit I caught sounded in a similar vein, at least harmonically.

found this album when it was reissued by recollection grm / editions mego a few years back, more musique concrete but should fit the bill.  Parmegiani also came up in one of the recent autechre interviews, may have been the resident advisor one.  anyway, this album sounds shockingly fresh to my ears.  excited to check out some others in this thread too
