I think they're a few of the best composers I've listened to, mainly because the just don't use the same harmonic minor scales, common chords, etc. I like some of the "jazzy" chords from their songs, like for example, one of the first low chugga riffs of Racecar.
And by the way, what are your top 5?
+1 for Muenzner. One thing I always wondered, how many fingers does Christian use when tapping? He's probably one of the most proficient guitarists alive, the solo in Vortex Omnivium still blows my little mind!
Probably listed off my usual grind, death and math favorites ad nauseam so I'll give you some off-beat picks
Tim Collis - This Town Needs Guns
Mario Camarena - Chon
Ian Williams - Don Callero, Battles
Jonny Greenwood - Radiohead
Matt Talbott - Hum
