YSI truncated the name of the second file. It should be:

Gyorgy Ligeti - Poème Symphonique para 100 metrònomos.mp3

I'm sorry to hear he's gone but also a little surprised to hear that he was still around. This leaves me feeling oddly cheated somehow. "Dead? I didn't know he was alive!"

Thanks arse_hat - once I figure out this yousendit thing I might post some that are more 'traditional'...

Well, damn. And I just got a CD of his stuff (piano etudes) from scody from my wishlist.
