Radiohead revisits OK
TWENTY years after Radiohead shook up the music world with its dystopian electronic album OK Computer, the band has announced an expanded edition with unreleased tracks.
The English rockers will reissue OK Computer on three vinyl records or two CDs with remastered sound, three unreleased tracks and B-sides from the singles.
Radiohead, fronted by Thom Yorke, will also put out an OK Computer boxed edition with new artwork and “full lyrics to all the tracks except the ones that haven’t really got any lyrics”, the band’s website said.
The album turned the page for the carefree, guitar-driven Britpop of the 1990s, creating a sound driven by electronic loops to dramatise paranoia in a world taken over by internet culture.
