Luke,
There was quite an amusing article in The Wire some years ago where
contemporary electronica artists were invited to comment on Stockhausen's
work (mostly favourable) and then Stockhausen was played some of their work
and he was very critical and dismissive.
Personally, I can't imagine today's electronica without Lygeti, Stockhausen,
Reich, Cage, Glass and co. That's not to say there haven't been many other
influences as well of course.
If you're interested and haven't already heard of it I'd recommend the 3cd
sampler 'Ohm: the early gurus of electronic music 1948-1980' which contains
works by many of the aforementioned as well as Varese, Riley, Xenakis,
LaMonte Young, Oliveros, etc.
All the best,
Colin.
