Complexity: a whole made up of complicated or interrelated parts.

Complex music contains many layers to it. An example would be this song. Notice how many styles the song incorporates - Classical, Glitch (Electronic Genre), Progressive, and Avant Garde. Now try to translate the emotions and feelings it attempts to create - Beauty, Love, Madness, Sorrow, and many others.

The song builds up to a climax that hits on spot at the last three minutes, but the reason the song takes so long to get there is to create a form of tension. With trying to stretch the feelings out, this gives more of a powerful and emotional response to the listener once the climax is reached.

In this thread, I want you to post songs that you define as "Complex". This is my first example of many I will show.

Hopefully people get the point to the thread and this doesn't turn into my old school bathroom after the shitter explodes.

Peace God

These are two Electronic/Hip-Hop producers that imo, are very complex. Not only do the songs on their albums feature different layers but the music contains a blend of several different genres (trip hop, instrumental hip hop, downtempo, dnb, jazz, chillout, idm, even a bit of post rock).
