A very good sum about the contemporary scene. Although I have to say, i have not been seeing any other names than the ones above, and it disappoints me a bit. There is so much going on in the scene of modern classical. There are so many other artists. I am sure you have more to tell and I would be interested to know. I am in search for new sounds in classical modern. Just discovered one from Germany actually. Have a look at “Time” by Luis Paul. Not as impressive as the sounds by the artists above, but it is good. And since you liked Only the winds, I think you might like Time as well..

I’ve never heard anything other than arpeggiated chord sequences from him. They remind me of songwriters’ backings without the songs written, or maybe practice pieces to train your fingers for piano. Nothing of substance in there though.
The fact that he packs out concert halls with this grey porridge says lots about the ears of the masses, and it’s not good!

Thanks for this list. I love Phaedra and Rubycon but have kind of got stuck there because I don’t really like the guitar playing, drum machines on later recordings, I’ll be exploring some of the others on you list an in the comments I think. I was at the Dominion gig so shall be trying that first. I also saw them at the Victoria Palace in London before that and was dissaponted, too much not that great guitar playing, certainly not compared to my other fave at the time Steve Hillage.

Great list. If I made my own list, though, I’d keep around half and trade these out:
*Rubycon for Sorcerer Soundtrack
*Logos for Encore
*Zeit for Atem
*Tangram for Hyperborea
*Goblin Club for Poland
*Optical Race for Firestarter Soundtrack
*Epsilon… for The Park is Mine Soundtrack

Theif soundtrack is one of their best, especially because of the amazing Pink Floyd like guitar riffs near the end.

This list is not complete without Poland. I’m sorry, it’s inseparable for me. I keep going back to that album for some reason.. it is so magnetic. I hardly ever go back to Goblins’ Club, it just sounds so ‘watered-down’ to me compared to the majestic power and aura of Poland. Bringing in drums, vocals and piano-like sound all feed into the ‘water down’ effect. TD for me was all about electronic innovation. Nothing innovative on GC. Sorry. Just sounds like glorified ‘New Age’ music! So that album would be my vote for the one to axe from an otherwise good list.

The Sorcerer soundtrack certainly belongs on this list before a few of the other albums listed………
