Plunderphonics!

This is the guy that did a fantastic album by cutting up other people's recordings. The album was eventually seized by the authorities for copyright infringement. Then the grateful dead hired him to do a two-cd work that consisted of dozens of different versions of the same song, played over years. it's really good.

Also cool: one time i called him on the telephone to find out how he recorded a particular thing on an album, he was a little weirded out but nicely told me how he did it. so he's a cool guy to boot!

enjoy!
