  "... An extended time-warped psychedelic jam that is meticulously hallucinatory."
- New York Times ... "On GRAYFOLDED (fony) plunderphonics composer John Oswald's 1995 double disc length 'cover' of The Grateful Dead's most spacebound vehicle plundered and spliced together more than four decades of live Dead versions into one definitive, maximalist version. Oswald created orchestras of timewarped Jerry Garcias loosing waterfalls of lunar notes and feedback patterns that bled into slow smears of vocals and supernaturally compacted jams. The first 'straighter' part, "Transitive Axis", relies mostly on overlap techniques, which permit Oswald to fly in various soundboard recordings and patch particularly zoned solos into huge vertically stacked harmonies. [...] Part two, "Mirror Ashes", is considerably more dosed, with swarms of time-altered sound effectively working as huge brackets enveloping ever more compacted takes. It's a fantastically psychedelic listen ..." Buy GRAYFOLDED online >>  2 cd with 48 page booklet ...

John Oswald's piece de resistance. Twenty minutes of some of the most insane editing, cross-fading, beat matching, cultural name dropping and sampling. No other work even comes close to the intensity of Plexure. John Oswald proves he is a virtuoso of Pro Tools, over a thousand different artists edited, spliced and mixed together. Many of the sampled pieces are just long enough to be recognizable and yet short enough that by the time you can consciously identify the track your ears have been pummeled by another 15, and all matched up as seamlessly as humanly possible. One of the most beautiful and simultaneously insane and aggravating experiences in audio ever produced. A must listen and a must have. Buy PLEXURE (Avant) online @ electrocd.com >> ( Toronto, April 1, 2006 ) Oswald's fony label ANNOUNCES Plexure Remix project, working title PLEXURE REDUX 2.2.2, will be a DVD. There is still talk of a limited edition vinyl LP release of PrePlex ( an early mix ) with Plexure Redux on the flip. No date has been set for release at this time, but Plexure Redux is "close to completion." There is also a rumor that Jason Forrest is remixing Plexure. Stay tuned...
