Radiodread
Who doesn't like Reggae? And who doesn't like Radiohead? Put those two together and you have Radiodread: an album of reggae covers of every song from Radioheads masterpiece, OK Computer. OK Computer still remains one of my favourite albums. It's generally recognised as one of the great records ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/8219786/Radioheads-OK-Computer-named-best-album-of-the-past-25-years.html ). I first came upon Radiohead via The Bends, a much more guitar oriented rock record. OK Computer was released in 1997 and seen as a significant departure from The Bends, with more keyboards, electronic sounding drums and lyrics reflecting feelings of alienation. I seen them in Ottawa on the OK Computer tour and they were a fantastic live band. Radiodread, by the Easy Star All Stars, is a track by track take of OK Computer with all of songs recorded by reggae artists The reason this works so well is due to the fantastic songwriting of Radiohead.
