They run in the same orbit as Igor Stravinsky, Alban Berg, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven and Claude Debussy, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Harald Blüchel, Univers Zéro, Make a Jazz Noise Here, Thijs van Leer and Chunga's Revenge, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
