easystar all stars - radiodread

this sound like a joke. a gimmick but look at the list of artists and listen to it and you realise how serious this project is. some of the trks start just like the radiohead tracks and then suddenly you're skanking. i think this might be old news but no thread so here it is. they remade ok computer in reggae style and its great. favourite trk so far: let down.

Yeah it's pretty good innit. I was a bit dubious from the description on Bleep.com but it was a pleasant surprise. My fave track is the opener Airbag, but they're all pretty good to be honest.

quite good really..

horace andy singing airbag, wtf!

airbag, subterranean homesick alien and karma police all lend themselves quite well to this. the others, not so much.

Unexpectedly rather good I think

Better than that dreadful crunk one

One of my favorite releases this year, easy.

These guys played above my friend's work last night (works at a video store underneath a night club). He seemed pretty distraught over it, thought they were terrible. I would have loved to hear it personally, at least a few songs for curiosity's sake, but didn't know about it until after the fact. I did however get to experience first-hand the most powerful swarm of petuli scent my city has ever been subject to as I walked through the crowd standing outside.

I wouldnt trust them with that material live but I think their studio albums wail.

it's a brilliant album
