Zeno's Show:
Pieces of Music in Descending
Order of Length
The idea was to fill a two-hour timeslot with one one-hour piece of music, followed by a thirty minute piece of music, followed by a fifteen minute piece of music, followed byb a seven minute and thirty second piece of music, followed by chaos as the DJ attempts to juggle terribly small tracks.

Fred Frith's Pacifica (1993-1995) This majestic setting of a Neruda poem and other texts has been a thorn in the Eclectic Guy's side.

So his dedicated listeners must have a taste for it, and are ready to pay attention to the whole thing.
