György Ligeti is amazing. Anyone else checked out his work?[/quote]

just heard Lux aeterna on youtube, wow. this song is quite disturbing in a beautiful way... made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. i need to see 2001 a space odyssey again - it's been to long.

i was also interested to find out that some of his music was used in the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" The eerie piano throughout.

Ooh, I'd still like to hear the London Sinfonetta version of Pete Standing Alone if anyone has it?

Apologies for the lateness (I'm only 4 months behind! :lol: )
