First edition limited to 500 copies with bonus disc and 21”x29” folded poster sleeve of collaboration between Tony Conrad and Gastr del Sol's O'Rourke and Grubbs.
"Available in limited quantities, this split Gastr del Sol/Tony Conrad record was originally released in 1995. The Gastr side features one of their earliest efforts at intensive multi-track recording; instrumental passages segue through the faint murmur of a thousand voices. Conrad’s contribution is excerpted from an unreleased version of Early Minimalism: May 1965, recorded at Steve Albini’s studio with Jim O'Rourke and Bob Weston (Shellac). The packaging is, arguably, the most lavish of any Table of the Elements release: the sleeve unfurls into a 21” x 29" poster, displaying texts by the artists in metallic plum and copper inks. The first 500 copies contained a second record, featuring an excerpt from an unreleased recording of Tony Conrad’s Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain (1971): Tony Conrad, violins; Jim O'Rourke, Long String Device; David Grubbs, bass. Recorded at Jim’s Steam Room studio, 1995."
