| If it’s to be solely limited to Electronica, then Kraftwerk win hands down. |

If we're sticking to EDM, I'd say these qualify:
Oliver Lieb (for being Frankfurt's supreme trance emperor back in the 90s)
Pete Namlook (ambient techno's godfather)
Juan Atkins (for creating techno as a genre)
Alec Empire (for reinventing hardcore in its entirety with DHR Recs. and Atari Teenage Riot)
Simon Posford (for posessing the ability to create mindblistering and hallucinogenic music that noone has ever managed to duplicate) |

I Have just recently listened to Ulrich Schunass & Vangelis and i was impressed
Ulrich reminds me of -Boards of Canada, AIM, or Mr. Scruff
Vangelis --- Conquest of Paradise & Last Mohican very good! |

beethoven was born in 17th century.. even though he's an early 19th century musician :sadgreen:
Stravinsky I got wrong, I'm sorry. I assumed he was 18th century because of his works in fantasia. |

dude your way off... by 200 years. Beethoven was not born in the 17th century, he was born in 1770 (that's the 18th century), but he became an established professional composer in the early 19th century up until his death in 1827.
Stravinsky is the epitome of modernism in music, his music is probably the symbol of the music from the first half of the 20th century. He was born in 1882 (late 19th century, not 18th). Fantasia has the Rite of Spring, which was premiered in 1913 and was totally innovative at its time.
Such a shame that people make assumptions of genius based on a Disney movie. :o |
