Pretty close. Webern's entire output fits on 3 CDs, totaling 31 works plus 3 alternate versions (Anton Webern - Complete Works, on Sony Classical). That averages to less than 8 min per opus. Let's see if I can tie this to Wire... Webern has been performed by Kronos Quartet (on At The Grave Of Richard Wagner), who worked with Philip Glass (on his String Quartets and the Dracula soundtrack), who worked with Brian Eno (on Low Symphony), who has met Colin! There must be a closer match between Eno and Wire.

It's true.... Police hunt chimp over mobile theft <<...OLE_Obj...>> by Patrick McGowan To have two burglaries reported in under an hour in a single street in Hackney is pretty unremarkable. But one of the victims actually saw the crime taking place and the description he gave police was nothing if not distinctive. The long, hairy arm Mustapha Riat saw disappearing with his mobile phone belonged to a chimpanzee. "I saw this hairy black chimpanzee coming through the window," he said. "I couldn't believe it. "I was frightened of being bitten. It must have been trained to go for it." Police are taking the burglary seriously and are linking it with the second crime 20 doors away in which a DVD player was moved. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We are keeping an open mind." <<...OLE_Obj...>> ************************************************************************* The contents of the e-mail and any transmitted files are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
