Wow! K_G thanks for this wonderful share.

Every one is a beauty. Very different from the rest of film composers.

Quite a few of his early 60's innovations might have preceded the Rock movements, though it's not explored with any academic interest (As it should). Modern bands like Oasis have admitted the influence, got from one their playlists, the piece in "Violent City"/"The Family".

In context of the discussion, my preferred Manchester band remains "Joy Division", though they transcend genres (punk, rock, metal)... Surprised to see that list with them on top. They're positively beyond ROCK.

'Voice of the soul' by Death (from the album 'The Sound Of Perseverance').
A testament to the fact that metal, especially death & thrash metal, is not just about a bunch of long haired dudes in black tees doing deep-throated growling while incessantly scratching on the electric guitars, but rather something more profound and musically captivating. The melody lines in this composition are really intricate and beautifully woven, with an acoustic guitar playing the rhythm and electric guitars, the lead (no drumming at all!). The accentuation from 1:10 - 2:00 and then again from 3:08 - 3:29 with two lead guitars playing in tandem can be hair-raising experience for any guitar fan. Probably one of the best instrumental songs in the history of metal and maybe Chuck Schuldiner's best ever.
