I would say that Free Jazz and the 12 Tone serialists are still out on the frontiers of popular taste. Anything else in music that hasn't charmed the bourgeoisie and been used to sell some product or another?

i kida disagree on those 2 - i mean, coltrane, ayler, sun ra, ornette ... bet mojo has run pieces on them (or, in theory, it WOULD) ... cecil taylor may somehow just be a bit "other" for all this, mind

hasn't a load of film music been really in debt to serialism, for years now? but, yeah, it's pretty austere in places

but you never can tell what they'll use for an advert - did you see that one (no idea what for) that used one of those super-lo-fi Suicide 1975 demos that made it to the bonus disk on the cd reissue of their 2nd LP? mental ...

More contenders (taking up on the serialism idea + running in that general direction) = Alvin Lucier, robert ashley, david tudor (i was jamming hois "neural synthesis" the other day ... jesus christ, it sstill sounds utterly alien + WTF), etc etc
