Now that some of you might be clearing out of the In Rainbows haze, Amplive, the Oakland, Calif. DJ, has handed over, for free, some great remixes of Radiohead’s latest disc.
There was some struggle by Amp to get these tracks out, mainly a letter from Radiohead’s lawyers telling him to pull the remixes. But, that all seems settled now, and the tracks have been online for free for a few weeks.
I recommend them, though the whole experience at only eight tracks seems a bit short. The guest vocals are divine, adding indie-hip-hop personality to the haunting, post-modern instrumental remixes. Thom Yorke’s broken and spliced vocals are also very well done, bringing a new level to the already timeless album.
I drive to this at night. So should you.
