Grateful Dead Fans - and especially Deadheads !! who just-Live for those Transitional ! periods of Drums, Space & Jams ! ... where you love to listen in anticipation & wait-patiently for the " Grate ! Stuff " to happen Live!!! Wow ... this one is a total gem, my fellow fans. And I myself am almost embarrassed to say that I didn't grab this one right when it was initially released - and due to that very unfortunate fact ... a couple of wasted years ! These are the kind of discs that should just play all-day-long at a Dead Fan gathering place, say maybe at the Pub ! It is so incredibly neat & interesting. This is the pet-project of John Oswald - originally released in both 1994 & 1995 in two separately purchased parts - Part 1 & Part 2 ... and this 2-CD Set here - the 1996 Original First ( 1st ! ) Printing 2-CD release by Swell / Artifact ( S/A 1969-1996 ) is indeed the " Complete !! " 2-CD release - which offers both ! releases in one ( 1 ) 2-CD Set ... Both " Transitive Axis " ( Part One ( 1 ) ) + " Mirror Ashes " ( Part Two ( 2 ) ) ! In other words, this one has the whole kit & caboodle - in one 2-CD Case ! -- with Awesome ! Liner Notes ( including a neat ' Timeline ' chart ) too, may I add. As far as this very-cool project ... John basically collected 40 hours of digital copies of master tapes, and hand selected the " most-interesting " parts of Drums, Space, Jams, etc. - you know the ' Out-There ! ' and " Pushing the Boundaries " Live material that only the Grateful Dead can do - as no band can do it quite like them ... He created this melded ' collaboration ' from 51 Shows, and the way that it is assembled is nothing short of Brilliant ! - and of course, very-enjoyable to the Dead Fan Mind !! It's really hard to put this one into words, as it is so incredibly creative - and it's a pure perspective of that " It " that so many Dead Fans considered their favorite part of a Grateful Dead Show ... where the Band & Crowd would work together as a bonded-team, in a journey into the ' Unknown ' - and the ' Where ? ... shall we go now ??! ". To my ears, this is an Excellent ! release, and I hope you will be just as pleasantly pleased. 1968 through 1993 Grateful Dead transitional " Transitive Axis " + " Mirror Ashes " - now Fans, who could go wrong there. ... Enjoy !!!!!
