Very true. That particular period in time was seeing the winding down of the 60's and psychedelic music was mellowing out into yet another form. Classical was starving for some new interpretation and Stanley threw this out into the mainstream You really could not help but give it an in depth listen. This was a new animal altogether and really begged you to listen to the composer outside of the context of 2001. It was that album that I credit with piquing my interest in classical and avant garde music which saved me from the 70's hell that was disco
I think listening to Ligeti now is interesting because his music does sit in the greater context of 20C classical music, however at the time it seemed like it came from another planet, thus appropriate for 2001
