Although some of NWW and Hafler Trio's discs are either mostly noise or contain some "noise", I would consider most of it more "musique concrete" or "ambient". I never thought I could listen to ambient until I heard NWW's "Salt Marie Celeste" and I sat rapt for over an hour listening to tape loops. Maybe knowing the story of the Mary Celeste ship helped, I don't know.Yes, the modern classicists seem to have a pretty fair lock on a lot of the new music I buy - which is cool since I don't listen to a lot of Mozart, Chopin, etc. You mentioned Robert Simpson who I really enjoy. Elliot Carter is rapidly becoming a favorite as well as Charles Wuorinen and Christian Wolfe.
As for "getting it"... well... sometimes you just have to bathe in it to get it. Sometimes getting it isn't necessary as long as you respond emotionally to the music. The first time I heard Sonic Youth, I flipped. It took a few years and some experience with Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham before I "got" Sonic Youth.
