John Oswald's radical 1994-1995 plunderphonics project collapsed hundreds of hours of Grateful Dead "Dark Star" performances into a singular, disorienting continuum, essentially asking what happens when you treat fifty-plus versions of a song not as separate concerts but as one infinite improvisation. The result remains one of the most genuinely strange artifacts in the Dead's extended universe, a document that serious listeners and sound-art devotees have sought out for decades. This 3-LP pressing brings that vision back to vinyl in proper fashion.
