You could amend it to read "sordid".

Ex Police guitarist Andy Summers mentioned at some length that both he and Robert Fripp used to play Bartok pieces transcribed for the guitar as duets for fun and if you listen to Bartok, much of it would work very well on the guitar. Personally I would have LOVED to see Fripp & Summers play these live.

Much of the work on 'I Advanced Masked' the Fripp/Summers collaboration recorded back in the early 80's sounds very Bartok like. Interestingly enough, this album was the first to feature Fripp with his newly devised New Standard Tuning.

the first time i saw "the shining" i thought it freaked me out. now i don't really like the movie so much, but i do watch it for the music. bartok was a genius.

favorite works:

romanian folk dances, the mysterious mandarin, all three piano concertos, and all solo violin pieces and violin sonatas.

 

he was definitely prog, just not prog rock.

Album of the week:

Bartok is also a strong influence in Univers Zero's works.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Bartok and Stravinsky could easily be considered the forefathers of prog.
