A member that makes great music, but is not widely recognized. If people frequently mention their musical ability in Forum or Chat, they aren't very lesser known, however if you discover someone's music that you really like, you may add a reply with their username and a few of their songs

1. "Modified". He fleshed out a sample melody and turned it into an entire song, to the point where a ton it is original. If anything, it's quite impressive what he did with so little.
2. You talk about the second sequence as if that fact discredits rock's abilities. Remixes are great, don't hate on remixers. >:V

Let me explain my train of thought here.

There are two aspects about this statement that lead me to conclude what I did.
1. The first is the fact that you pointed out how Rock's sequence was based upon another sequence made by nameless. Since this thread was specifically about lesser known composers who make great sequences, pointing out this fact is completely irrelevant unless it is tied to either the composer's musical prowess or popularity. This leads me to point number...
2. In your statement, your statement about both pieces implies a contrast between the two (and using a "but" would only exemplify this). Given that the latter part of your sentence highly praises the first sequence, this contrast-syntax implies that the opposite is true about the second statement, thus leading me to conclude that you were trying to use the fact that the sequence was a remix to discredit Rock's musical capabilities.
Sorry if I interpreted that wrong, but, given a previous anti-remix stigma that was around when I first started OS (and has thankfully gone away since), I've always been a bit touchy when I see anything similar.
