Just what the doctor ordered? :D Okay, well, I'll have to sit this one out until I become more familiar with his music even thought I've already heard a handful of works, I don't feel in any way comfortable enough to give a list. Have fun guys! I'll be reading your lists with great anticipation.

Here's my 2 cents worth  ;):

1) Pli selon pli
2) Le marteau sans maître
3) Répons
4) Dérive II
5) Deuxième sonate

Honorable mention: Mémoriale ("...explosante-fixe..." originel)

Thanks for the reply, Rafael. From what I can tell, a fine list. I haven't heard several of these works yet, but I'm trying to get around to them.

Yes. If they don't appear and I get refunded I'll buy FLACs from Presto.

That one with ...explosante-fixe... & Structures is phenomenal. Enjoy! I have been looking at the Sur Incises and may also pull the trigger on that one.

Hmm, I thought I already posted my favorites in this thread. Let me try again; in no particular order:

Répons
Pli selon pli
Le marteau sans maître
Deuxième sonate
Douze Notations
