I think the strange and complex relationships heard in contemporary musical compositions reflect the times that we live in. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find atonality to be a dark and menacing soundscape..which is not to say that it should not be appreciated. For me it has a dissociative and unsettling emotional quality..something which most people don't care to confront within themselves, because they prefer to retreat into the pleasures of material satisfaction...Im rambling, sorry ;]
