I'd hardly call this 'current contemporary music'. Take a listen at Webern or Schoenberg: 12 tone is no better.

twelve tone is positively pleasant compared to the techniques for composition these days. I know a guy who composes based purely on mathematical equations.
I'm not sure if "I know, you can't even understand the words can you?" was supposed to be a jab at me or not? So maybe I don't understand the words (YOUR words). I'd like to point out that I didn't specify which composer I was considering currently contemporary. I was certainly not implying that Maxwell-Davies could be considered as currently cutting edge.. Just to clear that up.
