Yep, Verklarte Nacht pre-dated atonality (at least in Vienna). It's a very Mahler-esque piece, and to be honest I prefer it over his atonal works.
I'll have a listen to the pieces you linked, thanks a lot!
On a side note - atonality didn't really catch on in England to the extent it did in other countries. The predominant composers were much more traditional in their harmonic approach (although they did do some astounding things). Maybe English people generally just find it harder to listen to atonal works..!?!
