This free EP almost never saw the light of day. You may recall that AmpLive originally intended to offer this set of remixes free to anyone who had legitimately downloaded In Rainbows. A cease-and-desist letter from Radiohead derailed his plans, but luckily they were able to reach an amicable agreement to release it to everyone. A project of this sort was guaranteed to be either a coup or a disaster. The anticipation of something as crazy as hip-hop remixes of Radiohead featuring the likes of Too $hort and Del Tha Funky Homosapien had me simultaneously salivating and bracing for the worst. Fortunately, the results are wonderful, for the most part. The remixes range from decent to excellent. And did I mention it's free?Wednesday, July 2, 2008
