CD: Easy Star All-Stars, Radiodread (original) (raw)

As those who were lucky enough to hear it will no doubt testify, New York-based dub collective Easy Star All-Stars' interpretation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (Dub Side of the Moon) was a bona fide classic. For their follow-up, they tackle Radiohead's OK Computer, which is either extremely impetuous, or a cunning attempt to reach out to the art rockers' dedicated fanbase. Either way, it works surprisingly well - from the soulful reworking of 'Karma Police', right through to a Toots & the Maytals-inspired cover of 'Let Down' and a dread skit of 'Fitter Happier'.
