I think I know what you mean, bands like Amon Duul (sorry for my bad German Spelling), Uber Alles, etc., right ???
You just mentioned the magic band par eccellenza : FAUST !!!!! I literally love this band - their composing and arrangement powerhouse is massive !! A German friend in Australia (Eric Senff) got me hooked to them and ever since I heard Jennifer (off Faust IV), my absolute fav prof song by them, I have never let go !!!!
Fuck outta here
Now now, let's not be rude - not everyone out there is able to appreciate excellent music. Personally, I think Sabbath represents heavy metal like no other band, but I always try to see the picture from all angles and other people's point of view.
You see, I quote "music is subjective, but arrangements are not"
An old proverb says "you cannot extract blood from a turnip "
.....where the turnip in this case is Radiohead.
Haven't listened to an AC/DC song in years.Somebody doesn't like AC/DC?
Pretty much agree

Arrangements make ALL the big diff between a mediocre song and a masterpiece (I quote the greatest arranger of modern times of course DON COSTA -
Costa's daddy). To answer your question , first we have to define arranegements........can you ??????? ----if not, we would be wasting our precious time here

To answer yoiur question , first we have to define arranegements........can you ??????? ----if not, we would be wasting our precious time here No, only original pieces, in the composing stage ! Arranging means practically making words fit with the music (notes) or vice-versa coz some composers first write the notes (music) then adapt the words (lyrics) or vice -versa. The difficulty in arranging is that the end result has to be as non-atonic as possible if you want to produce easy-listening hits which lose out in the end coz they're repetitive or just out-of-tune; on the other hand, if you want a more 'committing' end-sound, you have to be extremely careful on the lyrics/notes combo; in any case, lest we ever forget, more commercial /ezy-listening DOES NOT necessarily mean good music !!!! Know what I'm getting at ???!!!???!!!
