 Radiohead
comenzaron grabando algo de material en un estudio movil que llevaban durante
la gira de OK Computer. A finales del 98 escriberon nuevo material y comenzaron
con la grabacion en enero del 99 en Paris en los estudios Saint Germaine,
durante dos semanas, con el productor Nigel Godrich, aunque pasaron tambien
por Copenhagen, en febero- marzo, durante otras dos semanas y en abril
- mayo estuvieron en una masion tipica britanica, Basfer House en Gloucertershire.
En septiembre el estudio propiedad de la banda estaba ya preparado y terminaron
de grabar alli. Durante el año 99 solo han actuado en el festival
Tibetan freedom (Jonny junto a Thom) y donde tocaron un tema inedito "nothing
to fear". Han compuesto la banda sonora de la serie dramatica para la BBC
"Eureka Street", la cual ha salido a la venta en UK. Radiohead mezclaron
su Kid A en Londres

Rolling Stone named Thom one of the "People
of the Year".
Spin
named Radiohead "Band of the Year"
Bowie 'Most Influential Artist' David
Bowie is the most influential artist of all time, according to a poll of
music industry types conducted by the NME. Over the last year, the weekly
music newpaper has spoken to over 150 artists, DJs, label bosses and music
business movers and shakers to find out who they believe deserves the accolade
of 'most influential artist' - with Bowie emerging as the rock star most
likely to inspire young hopefuls to pick up a guitar.
Bowie
was nominated by artists such as Suede's Brett Anderson, Radiohead's
Ed O'Brien and Placebo frontman Brian Moloko. "He's always made ground-breaking
music, but better than that, he always looks brilliant," said Manson's
Paul Draper, another Bowie devotee.
The Thin
White Duke was followed in the list by Radiohead, The Beatles and Public
Enemy, with relatively new act Eminem also securing a position in the Top
10.
Marilyn
Manson said he nominated The Beatles because: "When I think of experimental,
I think of The White Album." Victoria Beckham meanwhile nominated Number
11, Stevie Wonder, because she was brought up on his music.

RADIOHEAD have picked up an award at the Inaugural
Online Music Awards.
The group's
website headed the list of winners and was named best alternative artist
website, after it helped push their recently released 'Kid A' album to
Number One in both the UK and US.
The indie
stars have always championed downloadable music from the net and shunned
conventional marketing techniques for cyberspace to promote 'Kid A'.
Kid A ocupa el puesto numero cinco en la
lista de los mejores discos del año 2000 elaborada por los colaboradores
de la revista Mondosonoro en España.

des huit singles réédités de Radiohead.
R&f
: Avez-vous emporté le chapiteau aux USA ?
Ed : Non.
Nous n'avons donné que deux concerts là-bas, c'était
logistiquement irréalisable. Mais en 2001, nous tournerons en Amérique,
sous notre chapiteau. Vous savez, l'Europe est un endroit privilégié.
De bons réseaux existent, nous avons de superbes festivals, tous
avec leur esprit, leur âme, leurs traditions. C'est éminemment
respectable. Aux USA, les organisateurs, les groupes, les sponsors ne pensent
qu'à une chose : le fric. Comment plumer un maximum de pigeons en
un minimum de temps semble l'objectif numéro un. Nous voulons changer
cela, apporter notre chapiteau, tourner avec des groupes amis, des DJ ;
commencer le spectacle à seize heures, offrir une journée
alternative. Les gens n'en peuvent plus là-bas d'être sollicités
de la même vieille façon pour vivre les mêmes sempiternelles
expériences. Avec un peu de chance, Radiohead peut ouvrir une fenêtre.
Apporter sa différence.
R&f
: Vous reverra-t-on sur scène en France l'année prochaine
?
Ed : Non.
Nous avons fait autant de concert en France qu'en Grande-Bretagne. C'est
beaucoup. Nous devons penser aux Espagnols qui nous réclament désespérément.
Il faut également jouer en Suède, en Allemagne, Radiohead
doit être équitable, nous ne pouvons privilégier un
pays.
Radiohead's Kid A is the best album of the year,

group beat controversial rapper Eminem and alternative act Primal Scream

Radiohead's "Kid A" stayed at the top of the

The group's fourth album has also been certified platinum in the U.K.,
having sold over 300,000 copies to date.
Radiohead Shocked By U.S. Success
http://www.mtv.com/sendme.tin?page=/news/headlines/001013/story6.html
"I cannot get my head around the fact
that it's number one in America at all." -- Radiohead's Thom Yorke
When Radiohead found out its new album
would be landing at number one on next week's "Billboard" albums chart,
perhaps no one was more surprised than the band itself.
"Kid A," Radiohead's long-awaited follow-up
to its 1997 LP, "OK Computer," sold more than 207,000 copies during its
first week in stores, easily outdistancing this week's number one, Mystikal's
"Let's Get Ready," which will be bounced down to number two (see "Radiohead
Leads Green Day, Scarface In Big Chart Week").
Talking with MTV News on Thursday,
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke discussed the album's chart-topping accomplishment
and postulated why so many Yanks so quickly adopted their own "Kid A."
"I think a lot of people maybe saw
'Kid A' as representing something [larger] for a lot of people," Yorke
said. "I'm not quite sure what that is, and I'm not quite sure whether
the record actually fulfills that or not, right? It's not for me to know,
really, and I cannot get my head around the fact that it's number one in
America at all. It just doesn't mean anything. It's just la-la."
When asked how the band celebrated
its achievement, Yorke replied, "We went out and we had a glass of champagne,
and we all looked at each other, just [shaking our heads and] going, 'What?'
A close friend of mine said, 'Do you know how hard that is? Do you know
how hard that is?'
"I don't know. In a way, I'm the
last person you should ask about it. I mean, it's really amazing, and I'm
just trying to enjoy the moment. I want to be able to say to my kids, 'Look,
this happened,' and that sort of thing, and leave it at that. If I tried
to really work out, 'Why is this happening?' and the record company business
and all that sort of thing, I wouldn't sleep at all."
Radiohead's 'Kid
A' Rockets To No. 1
http://www.billboard.com/daily/2000/1011_01.asp?mn
It
was a landmark week for Radiohead on The Billboard 200, as the U.K. quintet
enjoyed its first chart-topping album ever with "Kid A" (Capitol), a highly
experimental collection for which some naysayers had predicted commercial
disaster. The set sold 207,000 copies in the U.S., according to SoundScan,
outlasting last week's No. 1, rapper Mystikal's "Let's Get Ready" (Jive),
which moved 180,000 units and fell to No. 2.
Earlier
this week, "Kid A" debuted atop the U.K. album chart. In the U.S., the
album's No. 1 debut easily bested the group's previous Billboard 200 high-water
mark, set by 1997's universally acclaimed "OK Computer," which debuted
at No. 21 in July 1997. Radiohead's 1993 debut album "Pablo Honey" premiered
at No. 32, while 1995's "The Bends" topped out at No. 88.
Kid
A ocupa el puesto numero cinco en la lista de los mejores discos del
año 2000 elaborada por los colaboradores de la revista Mondosonoro

EMI recalls 150,000 faulty Radiohead CDs
LONDON,
Oct 2 (Reuters) - European fans of Radiohead will have to wait a while
longer to hear the British rock band's new album, Kid A, after EMI said
on Monday it had recalled 150,000 faulty CDs.
The discs,
victims of a mastering error, are being recalled from Germany, France,
Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and Belgium. Production of replacements
began at the weekend, a spokeswoman told Reuters.
New releases
by popular bands like Radiohead usually sell several hundred thousand copies
across Europe.

Reinventing
Rock With their punkish attitude, poetic grandeur and spectacularly
inventive new cd, the british fivesome Radiohead may be the best young
band in the world BY CHRISTOPHER JOHN FARLEY/GLASGOW (TIME)
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/articles/0,3266,56396,00.html
....On
Kid A, another Radiohead emerges: if the last album was about technology
using up humans, the new one is about humans using technology. Kid A relies
heavily on samples and synthesizers. The sound is experimental, but the
songs all have a Eureka! quality about them: they seem unthinkable, but
once thought, seem only natural.....
...But
it is Yorke, 31, who seems the most animated. For its own amusement, the
band has been shooting video footage of its live shows, and Yorke has just
finished screening some of what was shot. "The video footage looks brilliant!
F______ brilliant!" he tells Colin......
...Says
Yorke: "The cool thing about Napster is that it encourages bootlegging,
it encourages enthusiasm for music in a way that the music industry has
long forgotten to do." ...
...Perhaps
Yorke's last line on Kid A isn't some mournful pledge but a gift: if Radiohead
is this good in this life, we can't wait to hear it in its next one. ....
- Les inrockuptibles #259 - "
La musique
sans nom de Radiohead gravit un nouvel échelon dans l'ordre de la
beauté : "Kid A", album éclaté et logique, souvent
nu et terriblement inventif, offre aux anglais un terrain d'expérimentation
à leur démesure..."
.
"... Plus
que jamais, il s'agit ici de prendre la parole, de ne plus la rendre et
de la travailler sans relâche. Cette intransigeance conforte le splendide
isolement de Radiohead. Ce groupe rayonne encore une fois à bonne
distance de ses contemporains, et notament de la cohorte d'épigones
qui ont cru pouvoir le suivre en prenant "OK Computer" pour ce qu'il n'était
pas - l'acte fondateur d'un nouveau lyrisme. Il est aujourd'hui dans la
position d'un père qui, avec une implacable cruauté, abandonne
sans se retourner les progénitures indignes qu'on a cru bon lui
attribué. Radiohead désigne lui-même sa descendance
: ses disques seront toujours ces meilleurs et ces seuls héritiers.
"kid A" est le digne rejeton de cinq musiciens qui semblent décidés
à chanter jusqu'au bout les vertiges de l'inconfort, l'euphorie
du doute, la folle beauté des questionnements irrésolus.
Il est aussi l'enfant terrible d'un groupe qui en se restant amoureusement,
passionnément infidèle, a trouvé le plus sur moyen
de ne jamais se trahir."
Le
numéro de la semaine prochaine des Inrockuptibles (#260) sera consacré
à Radiohead.

[...]
Deux renseignements importants sur le futur intersidéral du rock
que Radiohead se devait de prendre en compte. Ce sens de l'espace, du dépouillement
et de l'apesanteur - l'école Eno du rock - a bien entendu informé
le magistral "Kid A" des Oxfordiens. Un disque où il serait
navrant
de ne voir qu'une tentative effrénée de suicide commercial,

les reproches d'exercice forcé ou de gratuité, redonnant

Un
suicide commercial ? Une remise en question ? Une oeuvre arty et
pontifiante
? Rien de tout cela, en fait. "Kid A" est juste l'album d'un
groupe
en roue libre, bien décidé à passer outre les règles
en vigueur
dans
un milieu frileux et peureux, prêt à laisser libre cours à
toutes
ses
aspirations. A toutes ses inspirations. Un groupe dont le but n'est
certainement
pas de vouloir à tout prix désarçonner ses auditeurs,
ses
fans
(et l'on sait à quel point ils sont nombreux), encore moins à
les
"dégouter",
mais qui cherche avant toute chose à se faire plaisir. Et
qui
réussit, au final, à nous faire plaisir.
BID
FOR THE NEW RADIOHEAD ALBUM!
Segun
el magazine NME
Kid A ha vendido 86.000 copias (de lunes a jueves) en UK, incluidas las
55.000 que se vendieron el primer dia. Se esperan alcance las 200.000 para
el fin de semana, y que por supuesto sea, por tanto numero uno.
Radiohead
Treats Ahead According to bassist Ed O`Brien, the next Radiohead album
is virtually complete, with a release date set for April or May 2001.
"We've got to sort it out," O?Brien is quoted as saying at NME.com. "But
we're very happy about it, really excited."
The band?s
fifth album, which is yet to be titled, apparently includes some material
recorded during the Kid A sessions, as well as some completely new songs.
(Q magazine)
RADIOHEAD
TO RELEASE TWO ALBUMS IN 18 MONTHS?
RADIOHEAD
say they will release two albums in the next 18 months - one later this
year and another towards the end of 2001.
According
to an interview with bass player Colin Greenwood in Belgian magazine Humo,
the band will release a "short, experimental album" later this year.
"We want
a short record - 10, 11 songs, but we've got more than 20.... in September
2001 we want to have finished a new album with all new songs. Before then,
everything we still have has to be brought out."
Greenwood
also says that the group have recorded with a small orchestra and with
a jazz group for the new, as-yet-untitled album, and that Thom Yorke has
tried some different singing techniques for the band's fourth album.
"We've
recorded one song with a jazz band, and another song with a 10-piece orchestra.
Both songs will be on the new album. On one song, Thom sings backwards.
Now that's gonna be a challenge when we play live! For example, Thom has
built up a piano part with a sequencer, because he doesn't know how to
play a piano. You just can't play the result, unless you have five hands
with 20 fingers each!"
The band
are also reported to have booked two more Danish dates for their tour in
September - according to Danish news stories, the band are to play the
Valbyhallen in Copenhagen on September 7 and 8. (http://www.music365.co.uk/autocontent/news_036485.htm)

Ed's
diary
20/3/00
there's
a line drawn.....above which are the names of tracks finished bar mixing.....and
below, those nearly completed. for the first time the tracks below and
above the line are equal in number. that was the state of play at 5am friday
morning. 'knives up' was complete. i was telling a mate over the w/end
about 'knives out' and how it was started in copenhagen on
10/3/99.......some
373 days later we finally finished it.............a ridiculously long gestation
period for any song..........naturally my mate thought that having taken
so long on a piece of music it would be some sort of magnum opus, a kind
of paranoid android to the power of ten..................... the song is
probably the most straight ahead thing that we've done in years......and
that might explain why we took so long on it. i'm a real believer that
bands as they become more successful often lose the ability to do straight
ahead stuff well...... the need to embellish tracks with melodies and sounds
becomes imperative. and often in doing so the song loses its essence especially
if it was written on acoustic guitar. but i think we've done alright on
'knives out'.........
thom's
got a busy old week this week........most of the finishing touches are
vocal things. i'm trying to get my head around some new software called
logic which seems to be what all the right programmers are using...........the
manual is about the thickness of a hardback edition of 'war and peace'.........he's
singing along to 'fastrack'. he's hyperactive as well....it's 1.30am..fantastic..
the only
thing that need concern anyone is that the songs sound fucking ace on the
whole......nicely diverse.12/3/00-16/3/00
9/3/00
arrived
at the studio and some brilliant stuff had been done last night. cozzie
finished off his amazing bass thing on the song with no name......bass
musos won't believe it. jonny did some cool guitar on 'up on the ladder'.
after yesterday it was nice to do some playing ...the sun shone and it
feels like spring is on its way. more things on 'up...'
8/3/00
left early......mixture
of the lurgee doing the rounds at the moment....but also one of those days
when the winter seems to have been too long and you just feel like a bag
of shit. probably something to do with smoking more fags...gave up for
almost a year and am gradually being wheened back on them. bollocks. this
summer i'll cut down. the thing is it's true what they say about giving
up ....you do feel so much better it's just that i have no will power......better
to mope around at home than around here where good things are going on.
good work
on 'up on the ladder' today...good drums and a much better arrangement.
will return tomorrow to things i am 'qualified' to write about. 7/3/00
6/3/00
we spent
alot of time last week 'throwing shit' (jonny specifically said he was
sick of hearing these very words today) at 'i will'. minor panics all round
about completing things.....our perennial fear/problem....'morning bell-copenhagen',
nigel did some very nice pro-tooling on some complete gibberish that i
played. phil did some drums downstairs on the track that has no name.
1/3/00
thom and
nige arrange some drums on 'morning bell' ...........downstairs we continue
trying to get rhythm stuff on 'i will'. arranging it on the computer....taking
a while to do, but these things do.....
nigel

all round, but things are being sorted out, i think. while we 'negotiate'
nigel has taken the opportunity to set the studio upstairs for mixing.
'you and whose army'
is put up and he starts to mix. sounds good.
have to redo my guitar which is fun as it feels a little like playing live.
thom continues work on going through and sampling sections from this dat
of sounds that we made last night......nothing too strenuous as i think
we are tiring a little. it always happens like this. some weeks seem way
more productive than others and probably are but the secret is not to get
freaked out.....just keep going and it will return. meanwhile jonny 'haydn'

slow day
as it often is on mondays. tape machine broke-down in the main room. thom
and jonny did some drum programming.....more work in the other studio on
'dollars and cents' -- percussion and a guitar. not that interesting but
the following might be....michael eavis knows how to throw the grandest
and greatest party in the world.....glastonbury is the don of all festivals..........but
alas we are not playing this year. there have been a few rumours flying
around that we are, so we thought we'd better say something sooner rather
than later. it would however be great to play it another year.................
27/1/00-28/1/00
'dollars
and cents' is a track that originated out of a 'jam' from copenhagen -
it's good but because there was no arrangement, no musical decisions could
be made on it.........well now it has an arrangement.....thom did some
backing vocals and a bit of guitar, jonny put his string arrangement on,
i did a little moog and the song is really going somewhere. will write
something more substantial over the w/end.
.
his week
we have cast the experimental net further afield to include material like
'true
love waits' and
'feeling pulled apart by horses'. the former
has been kicking around for about four years now and each time we approached
it we seemed to be going down the same old paths.........it actually sounds
like the start of something exciting now.
did an
interesting band version of 'bombers' which thom has attached to
what i used to call 'the neil young' song...we may play it some
time later this evening. Ed diary (jan 00)
Nigel
Godrich, Message Board He mentioned that some of his faves were
'Motion Picture Soundtrack' and a new song called 'Innocents Civilian'.
The band was working on 'True Love Waits' as well so there is a
chance the song might be recorded. Nigel also posted that the rumours about
'How To Disappear Completely And Never Be Found' being 12 minutes
were not true -- it is going to be around 6 minutes.

Radiohead
take chances on new album
An orchestra
and an eight-piece brass ensemble are among the stylistic left turns Radiohead
has taken on its eagerly anticipated fourth album, which is now being mixed
for release next year. "We're in London at present and Nigel (Goderich,
producer/engineer from "The Bends" and "OK Computer") is mixing; he has
been for three days, which means that we have actually finished six or
so tracks," guitarist Ed O'Brien reports on the band's official website.
"They are definitely different ... there's an eight-piece brass ensemble
in a Charles Mingus style on one - eight 'jazzers' came down for the day
and blew their stuff all over 'Everyone - The National Anthem'.
They were fantastic." Later, O'Brien adds, "Of those six songs that Nigel
mixed only one is right - 'Kid A'. But Nigel is pretty optimistic
about the others, he knows what he wants to do with them."
O'Brien
also writes about Radiohead's plans to use an orchestra on one track. "Phil
is presently putting down drums on 'How To Disappear' - we're doing
a demo of the song to present the song to an 'orchestral fella'. We've
kind of shirked away from strings in the past as they seem to have been
recorded in the same manner for the last 30 years (ever since The Beatles).
Jonny is particularly keen to use an orchestra but not in the standard
cliched way ... more like the end of 'Climbing Up The Walls'. Thom's vocal
on it was jaw-dropping."
Among
the song titles mentioned at the band's website are: "Optimistic"
(O'Brien's favourite band track) "How To Disappear" (performed on the "OK
Computer" tour) "Knives Out" (described early on as "quite 'Smiths-esque')
"Lost At Sea" "Morning Bell" "Kid A" "Up The Ladder" "Say The Word" "Cuttooth"
(which O'Brien likened early on to prog-rock band Neu) "You And Whose Army"
Earlier entries on the band's website offer a fascinating glimpse into
the elation, uncertainty and frustration the five members have experienced
during the recording, including one entry that starts, "We're smashing
our heads against the wall." However, in his latest entry, dated Dec. 1,
O'Brien is much more upbeat. "What has also become evident is that the
summer panic that led to two months rehearsal may have been a little premature
.. or at the very least a little on the hysterical side." O'Brien also
offers a tantalizing hint at Radiohead's tour plans for 2000. Saying the
band's next task is to meet with their management, he writes: "... nowadays
if we want to tour, about five months notice is required, for booking the
venues, notifying our crew, etc. It seems like a long time for just some
gigs ... we want to do gigs, but we have to make this record - and then
we don't even know whether they'll work as a live entity. Sometimes it
seems like it's so f---ing complicated." (By JOHN SAKAMOTO JAM!)

4th
Radiohead album - spring 2000
(Q
Magazine)[Oct 4 1999 12:01PM] Radiohead are expected to release their
fourth - as yet untitled - album in spring 2000. Currently recording in
Gloucestershire, the band have spent the last months of 1998 writing new
material, even taking a mobile studio on tour so they could demo new songs
as they were written. They began recording in Paris in February this year
with producer Nigel Godrich, before relocating to Copenhagen, then settling
down in Blighty. Though there is no track listing available at this stage,
rumour has it that they will be making their selection from around 20 previously
unrecorded tracks. A management spokesman said recently, "We don't know
how many songs they're working on. I don't think it's that structured,
it's still early days. There's no time-scale, but I doubt we'll see a release
this year. There are no live appearances scheduled for this year at present.
They had spent so much time demoing up songs beforehand, the recording
of the new album should be relatively straightforward. They've took their
mobile studio to demo on the road when they were touring, and since then,
they have been rehearsing new songs in France. They're got tons of stuff
written already, but they're in no hurry to get it done." But there's more
concrete information from Radiohead's Ed O'Brien, who has been posting
a diary online during recording. In his most recent entry he reveals: "'Knives
Out' sounding quite 'Smiths-esque'. Especially Phil who has got that Mike
Joyce thing down to a tee. On to 'Optimistic' - must record that soon before
we lose it (remember 'Lift'?). 'Up On The Ladder' sounds pretty grim. 'Say
The Word' (or c-minor song); great drum, bass and vocals - personally getting
a bit anxious over it, as I can't find anything that works with it, or
rather I have an idea but can't get the sound right. Makes me a bit neurotic.
Finish on what I used to call the 'Jonny Scott Walker Song' - very short
and sweet." In the meantime, brand new material is available, as the band
have written the music for the acclaimed BBC2 drama series Eureka Street
(last in the series screened tonight at 9pm). The soundtrack is available
on CD.

Glastonbury
+ New album
dans le
magazine Select (august 99), il y a un spécial Glastonbury,
avec deux pages entières qui pourraient s'appeler "le tour de
Glastonbury avec Ed pour guide".
Un petit extrait avec les propos de
ed sur le nouvel album : "We haven't started it properly. We've been
allowed to be indulgent but I'm not sure if people are going to hear all
the stuff we've been doing. But we've done a lot of work, so there's lots
of stuff for future Radiohead box sets."
Dans
le même Select, il ya un article consacré à
Basement Jaxx. Apparement l'un des deux membres connaissait Thom quand
ils étaient à l'université d'exeter. Un extrait de
cet article : When [Felix Buxton from Basement Jaxx] was at Exeter University,
he used to DJ with a fellow student named Thom Yoke. "I don't want people
thinking, 'Ooh, he's mentioning Thom cos he want "Select" to like him',"
mutters Felix reluctantly, "but when I started DJing at Exeter I played
the dance music and he played the indie music. He was very cool, whereas
I...I started a Peace and Love society - falre groove and hip hop, wearing
my flowery jean flares that I designed myself. Me and Thom did a Psychedelic
Groove night once, which wasn't psychedelic at all. I'm standing outside
the club, my hair shaved in steps, holding a big bunch of flowers, and
all the hippies turn up looking for acid. I don't think we even knew what
psychedelic meant".
New
Album
"the band
are currently in the studio where they are rehearsing for the next six
weeks the news songs which will make it on the album. Afterwards, in September,
they will break away for a couple of weeks holiday. It all starts to get
really exciting at the end of September when they start recording. The
album is supposed to be in the shops around May/June 2000.

Radiohead
/Paris.
L'information
est parue dans la presse en février, Radiohead est à Paris
pour enregistrer le nouvel album. Enfin une bonne nouvelle sur le successeur
de OK Computer. Mais les studios d'enregistrements sont nombreux à
Paris et dans sa région. La liste des plus celèbres est sélectionnée
pour commencer les recherches. De réponses étonnées
en réponses évasives ou narquoises, enfin quelqu'un donne
un indice sérieux. Il suffit d'une seule demande pour qu'une réponse
positive soit donnée, d'autant plus facilement qu'ils ne sont plus
présents. Mais la confirmation est là : Radiohead était
aux studios Guillaume Tell, à Suresnes, lors de leurs séjours
à Paris.
Radiohead
are currently working on the follow-up to "OK Computer," which was certified
platinum in the U.S. (1 million copies shipped). No release date for the
new album has been set. Billboard
NEW
YORKE NEW YORKE
RADIOHEAD
have gone into the studio together for the first time in almost two years
to start work recording their new album.
The band
are ensconced at a secret location in Paris and are currently rehearsing
songs they have been writing since they finished 'OK Computer', which came
out in June 1997.
They followed
that album with a major world tour during which, as was reported at the
time, they wrote a clutch of new songs using a portable studio.
A band
spokesperson said that a new album would probably be released before the
end of the year, although the band were not having any pressure exerted
on them to complete it.
She said:
"They earned themselves a really good rest last year, but now they are
in full swing. Once they've got their heads down they just want to get
on with it and that's why they're in France, to get away from it all. As
for releases, nothing's set in stone."
A lot
of songs were written but left off 'OK Computer' as singer Thom Yorke insisted
they were "too commercial"; these may now be considered for inclusion on
the new album. Some of the songs were used for the band's soundchecks while
others were debuted live.
The spokesperson
added that it was too early to say which producer the band hoped to work
with, although it is possible that Nigel Godrich, who worked on 'OK Computer',
will be available, as he's just finished producing Pavement's new album,
due out in June. As reported last week, the Nigel Godrich link meant that
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood ended up playing harmonica on a couple
of tracks on the Pavement album. NME
Radiohead...in
Paris
Radiohead's
next attempt to woo another batch of cerebral music critics begins today,
when the quintet enters a Paris recording studio with producer Nigel Godrich
(OK Computer, The Bends) to continue work on approximately twenty songs
that the band has already begun sculpting. "We don't really do demos,"
says Godrich. "It's kinda against our rules now. You have to be recording
them at the right time when they're ready to be recorded, 'cause the songs
will never sound as good again." Eventually, Radiohead will up and move
their operation to another recording studio in England, but for now the
album will be made in France. As for what direction the group plans to
take the new material in, Godrich says that's still an unknown but "it's
not like 'Okay, let's all play mandolins.' It's been three years since
we did OK and I've done a lot of things and hopefully learned a lot of
things. I know I wanna come out fresh. When we did OK it was very much
in our minds that we didn't wanna make The Bends 2. It's the case of just
throwing it at the wall and seeing what sticks " . . .
NEW
RADIOHEAD ALBUM
One of
the best bands of the late 90s is set to do it again
Radiohead's
OK Computer is undoubtedly one of the all-time best rock albums - ever.
While the band has been taking a recording hiatus for the past two years,
turning their attention instead to touring duties, it looks like they're
ready to get back to the studio to work on a new album.
But what
will it sound like? Knowing singer/songwriter Thom Yorke and the band,
it'll most likely be a pretty dour - if not beautiful - affair. Steve Sutherland,
editor of the UK weekly music paper NME, expressed his opinion on the new
album recently online:
"It's
hard to imagine that Radiohead won't make something interesting. Apparently
they've been writing on the road so it's bound to be a fairly tortured
work, considering how much Thom Yorke doesn't appear to like touring."
If the
tracks on this year's Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP are anything to go by,
we can expect a more experimental sound, one that incorporates elements
of hip-hop and ambient into their already unique sound.
Look for
that new Radiohead album in the fall.

Radiohead
Return To The Studio
Emotive
British rockers Radiohead are preparing to enter the studio in early
1999 to begin work on their follow-up to 1997's critically acclaimed
OK Computer LP, according to their U.S. publicist. The band wrote several
new songs while on the road last year, including "How To Disappear Completely,"
which may make it onto the new album. While the band continues to write
new material, it is rehearsing for a Dec. 10 Amnesty International benefit-gig
in England, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights. Also, a feature-length documentary on the band, "Meeting
People is Easy," will be released in Europe on Nov. 16, with U.S. release
tentatively scheduled for early 1999. [Fri., Oct 30, 1998 3:00 AM EST]
addict.com.
New
album
The official
title of the last song on Meeting People is Easy aka Nude/Neut is going
to be (Don't Get Any) Big Ideas (Cause Theyre Aren't Going to Happen).
Follow Me Around is a working title, not final title, of the song containing
that line, which was soundchecked in Japan on the video. Life in a Glass
House is also the correct title for the song soundchecked on in Germany
starting "Once again, she is smashing up her house again". The band are
working on 14 new songs - but none of them have titles or lyrics yet, which
is one reason why they weren't played at the recent Amnesty gig. I Promise
and 'True Love Waits are also both still in the band's current repertoire
- but at the time of the concert, they had not rehearsed any of their new
songs for weeks (apart from mysteriously omitted song The Thief, it seems).
And sadly, Big Boots (aka Man-O-War), the song that the band tried to record
at the London studio near the end of the film, has been dropped completely
by them and will never be played again, most likely due to the intense
frustration it has caused the band.

Radiohead
To Work On Fourth Album? [Nov 19 1998 4:53PM]
Despite
having originally talked of taking a long break after a massive bout of
touring it now seems that Radiohead might soon be heading back into the
studio to start work on their fourth album. A spokesperson at their label
was quoted by Rolling Stone as saying that the band will go into the studio
next month, after their appearance at the Amnesty International Conference
on 10th December. The band are expected to team up again with Nigel Godrich
who worked on OK Computer. Fans may even be able to get a taste of the
new album on the Grant Gee directed Meeting People Is Easy video which
is released this week. Apparently Gee managed to pick up the early versions
of some of the new songs the band have been working on. Meanwhile guitarist
Ed O'Brien has told journalists that two unreleased tracks, I Promise and
True Love Waits, (which the band often use for sound checks) might make
it onto the album.
Les
Inrockuptibles, magazine n°163 (du 2 au 8 septembre) :
RADIOHEAD
aurait d'ores et déjà conçu l'album devant faire suite
à OK Computer : un disque intitulé "Reload" et composé
de nouvelles chansons et de titres inédits enregistrés à
l'époque d'OK Computer. C'est en tout cas ce qu'affirme une source
proche du groupe, laquelle se permet même d'avancer quelques titres
de chansons, dont "Motion movie soundtrack", "I promise" et "True love
waits". Même si la maison de disques du groupe refuse pour l'instant
de commenter cette information, "Reload" pourrait voir le jour avant la
fin de l'année -- peut-être sous la forme d'un double album,
Thom Yorke et ses hommes devant prochainement faire le tri dans leurs volumineuses
archives sonores et entreprendre le mixage des titres retenus. Un studio
aurait d'ores et déjà été réservé
à cet effet pour le mois d'octobre.
Radiohead
Reload For New Album
Speaking
of the Yorke clan, Radiohead's sainted publicist assures us that they are
just "resting." But we heard from some of their Oxford cronies that they
never rest, and instead have been recording and writing over the past few
months the follow-up to massively successful O.K. Computer. If our pals
at Melody Maker are to be believed, the new record is Radiohead's own Reload,
consisting of a few new songs, and some choice leftovers from the O.K.
Computer sessions. As the story was told to us, the band really put their
little snub noses to the grindstone recording their biggest hit to date,
and ended up with so many tracks that there was talk about releasing that
a double album. Those plans were scotched by the higher-ups at Capitol
Records, but the fact remains that there is still that surplus of utterly
brilliant material, most of which, our sources tell us, will end up on
the new album, including the dreamy "Motion Movie Soundtrack," the powerful
"True Love Waits," and a dark and brooding ballad entitled "I Promise."
After
the band members return from their respective holidays, they plan to head
to the studio in October. Whether or not they'll have Nigel Godrich in
tow, hasn't as of yet been decided -- but we can't see how they wouldn't
want the return the man who turned the knobs on their platinum-selling
opus, unless Beck is still monopolizing him. -Jaan Uhelszki (Muzic.com)
ED
and the new album
Ed
has been talking about the new album. He says that the band will start
recording/track selecting in October.
Ed
also remarked about three of the so far unreleased songs: 'I Promise' is
now described as a Roy Orbison-style power ballad. 'True Love Waits' is
a song much in the vein of Karma Police. 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' is
now atmospheric, and involves the whole band.
New
songs on tour
En el
tour USA/Canada Radiohead esta incluyendo nuevo material (How To Disappear
Completely and Never Be Found Again, o viejo con nuevo nombre
(Nude
or Nuet) Big Ideas (Don't Get Any), como ya anuncio Phil Selway para
esta web
en octubre.
This is
Stefan reporting from Los Angeles...
Just to
make things clear, the name of the new song is probably "How To Completely
Disappear And Never Be Found". I wrote it down on the back of my RH poster
right after Thom said it. However, others have reported that there was
an 'again' ending the title. I don't remeber it, but if they say so...
Also, I've grown fonder of the song now that I've thought about it. I think
it has potential. The lyrics are sung somewhat like the lyrics to How I
Made My Millions.
And here
are the very few lyrics I could make out:
?-----?
?------------? I GO WHERE I PLEASE AFTER ALL ?------------?
?-------->I
couldn't make out what he was saying for practically the whole song; remember
that he sings it a bit like HIMMM. It is fairly long though-----------------?
I'M NOT
HERE- this he sings a whole bunch of times at the end
New
record in New Zealand
Radiohead
drummer Phil Selway says Radiohead are considering recording their next
material in New Zealand, at the studio at Karekare Beach where Crowded
House recorded their final studio album, 'Together Alone'.
Selway
told the New Zealand Press Association during the band's recent visit "we've
been looking at studios to record the next record in, and when we were
in Auckland we went out to Karekare to look at one. It's the same one that
Crowded House used. It's such an amazing place."
It will
be some time before Radiohead are ready to record another album, however.
Bassist Colin Greenwood indicated last month that Radiohead will be taking
six months off before starting work on their follow-up to 'OK Computer'.(NME)
Thom
: " I'm not convinced that we´'ll do another album before the year
2.000
(Melody Maker)
...TOUR
+ NEW ALBUM
Meanwhile,
the band have announced that they will not be playing any festival gigs
in the UK this year. O'Brien told London alternative radio station XFM
during an interview on January 6 that the band still had to play Japan,
New Zealand, Australia and the US, but then they would spend the rest of
the year recording. A new Radiohead album is promised for 1999.(NME)
New stuff
"It's
a bit early to say what the new stuff is going to be like. But if anything
it'll be more diverse. I think we'll go down the "airbag" route more often,
using loops a lot, but then there'll be other stuff where we'll be a really
simple, close-miked five-piece band. We want to make really diverse records
and I get off on that." ( Ed-NME)
COLIN
MTV
After
this tour of Australia we go back to England and on the 26th April we fly
out to Houston and we do an American tour for four weeks After that we
take 4 or 5 months off, we won't really start work until September. So
because of that we're keeping a lot of our songs as fresh as possible by
not thrashing them to death live at the moment.
MTV: Can
we expect a live album?
Colin:
No, but what I would be nice, what I'd like to do after the next album
is a B sides and remix compilation which I think would open a lot of people's
eyes to some incredible music which has quite possibly escaped them. You
know, were it not for people like Nellee Hooper and Baz Lurhmann people
would not know a song like 'Talk Show Host', which is a very dramatic,
powerful piece of music.
