Side 2, however, due to the duo's running out of money for studio time, was a bizarre, abstract collision of previously recorded music being looped, repeated, mangled, and played at incorrect speeds — the first rock remix, perhaps, or an early example of plunderphonics.

The project, a compact disc recording called Plunderphonic, featured Oswald's manipulations of familiar recordings by artists such as Michael Jackson, Glenn Gould, Dolly Parton, and Elvis Presley. By using a variety of recording techniques, including electronic sampling and tape manipulation, Oswald created new, often radically different compositions from the existing material.
