K: Gmin T: 115 BPM TS: 4/4 INST: ElectricGuitar (distorted), AltoSax, ElectricBass, Drums, Mellotron/Organ, LeadVocals Mood: aggressive, dystopian, chaotic, avant‑garde, urgent Structure: Intro – Verse/Chorus – Extended Instrumental Solos – Verse/Chorus – Coda (Verse‑Chorus‑Solo/Outro) Summary: "21st Century Schizoid Man" is a late‑60s progressive/jazz‑rock piece with a heavy, jagged riff, abrasive sax lines and Mellotron textures. The piece is driven and aggressive (hence the ~115 BPM), primarily in a minor tonality (G minor-ish, with chromatic/dissonant coloring), and uses rock 4/4 pulse while allowing for syncopation and short metric/phrasing irregularities during solos. Primary timbres are distorted electric guitar, punchy electric bass and drums, screeching alto saxophone and Mellotron pads, with raw lead vocals. The form alternates concise vocal sections with long, improvisatory instrumental passages culminating in a tight, intense coda.
