people here seem to be confused as to what this is. it's well known that Radiohead, or at least Thom Yorke, are HUGE techno/electronic music fans. So they've enlisted their favorite producers from a variety of genres to have a go at various 'TKOL' tracks, that is the extent of their involvement. If you are not a fan of techno music you probably won't like this, if you are, there are some of the best current producers out there on this, and they do some interesting stuff with 'TKOL' source material. I'm not sure we needed to hear 4 or 5 versions of 'Bloom' but it's very cool. But please take it for what it is, Radiohead letting some of their favorite artists tweak the 'TKOL' material. It's NOT a new Radiohead cd....

Any reviewer comparing TKOL RMX 1234567 to past Radiohead albums is not only missing the point but doing this particular work a great disservice. This is electronic music, not rock music. It's as far from "OK Computer" and "The Bends" as any music could be. While hardly the most novel collection of remixes ever assembled, TKOL RMX is very enjoyable. I find it's perfectly suited to background music while working. A few of the remixes stand apart from the rest (Blawan's version of "Bloom" comes to mind), but when taken as one (very large) wash of sound, it's a rewarding sonic swimming pool to wade through.

Noone, NOONE, is as creative as these guys, and I love this stuff. I realize it may be too "weird" for some ears. Considering that I also love Massive Attack, all I can say is that I really love English guys who go nuts in the studio. They seem to feel no need to deliver the usual chirpy, "positive" music or to have to "rock" everyone that so many bands strive toward in order to be "commercial." I've heard all that before; Radiohead gives me an experience, something new and interesting. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, but my god is it interesting! And when they do connect, it's awesome (check out "Seperator" on Disc 2, it's spooky-wild). I don't think what they did to Codex worked, but many other tracks did. Codex needed no remix, it's a gorgeous, mind-bending track as is. As long as these guys are creating, I'm there with a pre-order.
