Anthem Of The Sun

The Grateful Dead

The band members famously cut up master tapes and reassembled them to mirror the unpredictability of their live performances. This experimental approach turned raw concert recordings and studio work into a unified collage.

Psychedelic creativity defines this 1968 release. The production layers heavy studio effects over improvisational rock to challenge the boundaries of what a record could achieve at the time.
