 Rating:  - Mind you, I am a Radiohead fan..........Absolute genius. I never thought that I would be able to listen to, let alone own, a "reggae" album. Karma Police and No Surprises make it worth the buy on their own. Genius Rating:  - At the controlsI love reggae and I love Radiohead so it makes sense that I should admire deeply the new album by a host of classic reggae artists (Horace Andy, Sugar Minott etc.) recording under the banner Easy Star All-Stars. They have come up with a reggae version of OK Computer called Radiodread (what else?!) and, despite reservations as I usually dislike such `novelties', I reckon it's a cracking listen. The production is superb and it is obvious that a lot of work and thought and , importantly, affection went into making it. The singing and playing are tight and uplifting throughout and all the re-examined and revamped songs benefit from such an unusual approach. The little touches render it a delight. The Augustus Pabloesque melodica that introduces ...

I caught them at a last minute gig at the Leeds Irish Centre in August 2007, in what felt like a warm up show. There can't have been many more than 50 people in a venue where i have seen ten times that number for the Indigo Girls or Mr Bungle. Felt like a warm summer night in a dancehall. Lots of room for us and the music to breathe..... They said they had something special they wanted to play for us - and they had. The fractured beauty of Ok Computer - but buffed up in a deep, dark dub. Don't get me wrong, the original album is a work of genius, ... Read More: Rating: - Mark Ronson take noteThis reworking of another classic album is more than a set of remixes. In keeping with the original it is in itself an engrossing, complicated but most of all a really enjoyable album to listen to. As previously demonstrated with Dub Side of the Moon, the Easy Star All-Stars have again managed to apply an entirely different genre this time to Radioheads OK Computer and create a new masterpiece in its own right! I defy anyone including the most die-hard Radiohead obsessives to listen to the opening bars of the first track Airbag with Horace Andy's haunting vocals and not want to hear more Dare I say better than the original (which has been voted the best album of all time in various polls)? Clearly that is subjective but ... Read More: Rating: - Even better than Dub Side of the MoonI was surprised and delighted when I came across Radiodread. I'd not long purchased Dub Side of the Moon and been very impressed with that - not least how the reggae rhythms enhanced rather than detracted from the original. Radiodread strikes me as even better, although that may be because I'm a bigger Pink Floyd fan than Radiohead fan, so I'm perhaps not so emotionally attached to the original. A very fine album and highly recommended. That said, nobody can hold a candle to Thom Yorke's "Exit Music (For a Film)" vocals. |
