Are There Any Up-And-Coming Composers?

The title of this topic is misleading. I'm sure there are plenty of up-and-coming composers around. I welcome any suggestions for composers that should be sought out.

But I want to bring up the perception problem. The industry has its heavyweights (Mitsuda, Sakimoto, Huelsbeck, Follins -- just to name a very quick few). The majority of them made their bones in the 80s and 90s where creativity ruled over synth quality and videogames could be regarded as a niche. Nowadays, if you name the canon of composers, I believe almost all of them would have similar beginnings.

So, I guess, are there composers just in the past few years who ascended to the pinnacle? And if not, why not? Are we (and game companies) too smitten with bigger names to put others on the same level? Are we continuing to turn inward when we should be turning outward?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
