If you haven’t familiarized yourself with Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” yet, do yourself a favor and give it a good listen. It’s no longer available as the original “pay what you want” mp3 download, but you can still grab it over at Amazon. Or, if you’re really cheap, you can just watch the Scotch Mist webcast (which is worth a watch anyway!)
When I first heard “In Rainbows” back in October, I instantly fell in love. Well, scratch that. It took me something like two proper listens before I really understood the album. But believe me, now I get it. Regardless, moving on.
About two months after “In Rainbows” hit the, um… internet, Amplive put together some amazing remixes. The first two tracks that surfaced (or at least, the first two that I found) were his take on Weird Fishes and Nude (cleverly titled Weird Fishez and Nudez).
Shortly thereafter Amplive received a cease and desist letter, and the remix operation was brought to a halt. Boo.
After many pleas from Amplive and the online community, the cease and desist was revoked and these quality remixes could once again see the light of day. Yay.
The full album, Amplive’s “Rainydayz Remixes,” is available as a free download. (Be sure to check out “15 Stepz,” as it’s my new favorite.)
