Pierre Schaeffer – The invention of the tape recorder in the 1930’s meant that composers could literally cut and paste sounds together for the first time. Pierre Schaeffer invented Musique Concrète which pasted together real world sounds, something which went on to shape the ideas of composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Hmmm, no Daft Punk mentioned? Or my personal favorite, Underworld? (Well, I don’t mind Underworld not being mentioned but Daft Punk is pretty big, isn’t it?) Well, nice collection anyways, great history lesson :D

Yep, I admit there are some omissions, but we could have gone on forever. Some perhaps that should have been included: Radiohead for Kid A, LCD Soundsystem etc etc...
