Radiohead, OK Computer (**** )
Radiohead's masterful third album represents a quantum
leap musically and thematically from 1995's The Bends. The latter's desperate
loneliness has metastasized into the looming threat and pervasive dread
of computer mutiny. Grand, anthemic arrangements with building choruses
intensify the drama of high-tech phobia, probed in tunes like Paranoid
Android, Subterranean Homesick Alien and Karma Police. The British band's
gloomy lowdown on download culture is further enhanced by Thom Yorke's
aching, pretty tenor. While its richly textured art-rock revisits the Byrds,
the Beatles and Queen, Radiohead's ambitious and timely concept album also
expands the frontier of '90s guitar rock. - E.G

RADIOHEAD EN VOX magazine septiembre
...WHICH BRINGS us to 'OK Computer'. Possibly
the most acclaimed album ever, with even its 'difficult'
six-and-a-half minute first single'Paranoid Android' rocketing to Number
Three. How has this affected Thom?
"You can respond in two ways," he frowns. "You can either maintain your
Richard III pose,
heh heh, or you can get on a surfboard and go with it... " But you're doing
both: you're being Richard III on a surfboard. "Yeah, and I'm tied to the
surfboard in case I lose it, heh heh... No, we're just trying to ride the
wave. The trouble with me is, I worry too much. I worry to kill myself.

RADIOHEAD EN ATLANTA
As frontman Thom Yorke's voice soared above the dense
layers of
music that is Radiohead's foundation, the band
fed off of his intensity,
elevating the beautifully soaring rock compositions
to an even higher
level of sound. On stage, the band's ace in the
hole was definitely leadguitarist/keyboardist Jonny Greenwood, who consistently
unleashed a torrent of analog-synthesized
bleeps, heavily-processed guitar that echoed
the keyboards and furious white noise and power chords that had
audience members scratching their heads in confusion over how such
sound one man could generate. ... Addicted

Radiohead vibrant in Vancouver
Radiohead and Foo Fighters perform "invite-only"
show.....
... During Radiohead's set (the 'opening act' as
it were), adoring fans/contest winners wedged themselves into the front
third of the venue, hanging on every lyric coming from frontman Thom Yorke's
expressive mouth. From the opening strains of "Lucky" through the flailing
guitar solos of "Paranoid Android" and continuing onto the majestic closing
notes of "Street Spirit [Fade Out]", the sardined audience remained 100
per cent focused and in the moment.
At one point, Yorke uttered "this is definitely for
the people who are shooting pool in the back" and lit right in to "No Surprises",
sarcasm intact and duly noted.
Highlights included a heartbreaking version of "Fake
Plastic Trees", the powerful "Karma Police"
and a majestic take on "Exit Music (For A Film)".
When Radiohead left the stage (after a 70 minute
set), all it took was a few glances near the backstage area to watch the
stars shine bright: Bryan Adams, Robbie Robertson, various X Files team
players, Holly McNarland, Yvette from Mollies Revenge, DOA's Joe Keithley
and many more pledged their allegiance to the Radiohead flag, all at the
point that the Foo Fighters took the stage.

Radiohead Deliver The Goods
This time they didn't play "Creep," and the audience
didn't seem to care.
Radiohead's day has come and their performance last
night at the Warfield proved it.
...Radiohead has suddenly become the "band's band,"
and this show was no different.ATN newsguy Gil Kaufman swore to me that
he spotted Metallica's Kirk Hammett in the crowd, and
I bumped into both the drummer and bass player from the Dutch band, Bettie
Serveert, who had played a gig in San Francisco
the night before. Not surprising, because judging from
their stellar musicianship and razor-sharp performances, Radiohead
is quickly becoming THE band to emulate. Was
that a pad and pen in Kirk's jacket pocket?

Radiohead Offers Challenging Messages
By ROBERT HILBURN
An the year in which Prodigy seemed firmly established
as the next British band to make a spectacular Oasis-like breakthrough
in the U.S., keep an eye also on Radiohead. Don't think of it as an either/or
proposition. At a time of creative lethargy in rock, there is plenty of
room--and need--for both these stirring bands. Radiohead--which kicked
off a U.S. tour Saturday night at the Wiltern Theatre with the likable
though limited Byrds-influenced Teenage Fanclub--is a guitar-rooted group
rather than a synthesizer-driven dance-rock one a la Prodigy. The bond:
Both make thrilling music and back it with absorbing live shows. Where
Prodigy seeks to liberate its audiences through a visceral sonic attack,
Radiohead's Thom Yorke still believes in the Beatles' and U2's notion that
ideas can leave a mark. While Radiohead's music itself is elegantly and
powerfully framed in a headphones-filling manner that suggests soulful
rather than sterile art rock, singer-songwriter Yorke's themes are equally
commanding. The challenging songs explore questions of hope and faith at
a time when society's guidelines revolve more around health and fitness
mantras than moral principles. In "Fitter Happier," a track on the band's
brilliant new album "OK Computer," there is even a checklist of '90s rules
to live by, from regular exercise to a safer car. It's a mind-set that
leaves Yorke unfulfilled and, ultimately, looking to the planets for something
more nourishing. His is a lonely yet somehow inspiring quest, one that
is in keeping with rock's grand questioning tradition. How fitting that
Yorke, in a good-natured nod to Bob Dylan, even titles one song "Subterranean
Homesick Alien."

NME
RADIOHEAD walk on with a sobriety that, for a moment,
seems quite menacing. Thom Yorke, dressed in black, his hair cut severely
short, steps into the stark opening strum of 'Fake Plastic Trees' as if
the song is a great weight strapped to his back. But he wears that weight
well, bathing in the corrosion sandwich of Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood's
guitars. "This is a day about joy," he announces as the noise fades away.
"This is what we should be thinking about. This song is about that." And
then launches into a dazzling 'Paranoid Android'. Two songs later, Radiohead
sign off with 'The Bends', Yorke's body shaking in spasmodic rage against
the loud, bright huzzah of the intro and then again during the soaring
pay-off in the chorus. It is a short, but stunning set and the reaction
from the kids pressed dumbstruck against the stage says it all: Radiohead
came, played and conquered.(NME)

Pop guitarrist
Time off review 6/2/98
This is art-rock of the very best kind: unpredictable,
complex and layered, explosive, orchestral, dynamic, surreal and laden
with effects. For a band which has frequently been compared to U2, Radiohead
are as much like Nirvana. They take the loud/soft formula, add the electronics
and arrive at a futuristic location which subsumes the two into their own
roots and amplifies the whole. Which gives us a band who are as comfortable
with feedback as they are with a crystalline guitar sound; a band as alien
as they are human. Eileen Dick (Time off)
Colin interview MTV Australia
MTV: I hear you record all your live performances
- where is all that going?
Colin: We were. We've slowed down on that for the
moment though. 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, culminating with a number of shows with Bjork in New York. We've
also invited Spiritualized to join us on these US shows. 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.

Bob Gulla - Guitar World October 97
What was the first guitar you bought?
It was an awful Rickenbacker. I bought it because
Marr, Weller, and Peter Buck all played them, and they were great rhythm
guitarists.
What do you like about the sound of the Rick'?
Well, it's halfway between acoustic and electric.
It's a real unique sound. It's got that trebly thing I like. For the effects
stuff I use a Strat, but for the rhythm the Rick has more warmth and resonance.
Plus, I like the way they look; now I can look like my heroes. Paul Weller
I think has over 300 Rickenbackers, and I'll always remember those photos
with John Lennon and George playing them.
Thom Yorke is the third guitarist in the band but
he doesn't much like to talk about it. Why?
He's a really great guitarist. He plays terrific
rhythm, but he doesn't like to talk about it because he thinks he sounds
like Brian May. ( Ed O'brien)
What kind of guitars did you use making the album?
Well, I've only got one, and one back-up for when
we play live. It's a Tele.
Is it a stock model?
I'm not sure. It's one I bought before we signed.
Same for the amp. I've never been one to hunt around for equipment. I've
got a little transistor amp I bought when I was just starting out, but
it sounds great. Any effects? I've got like four pedals, typical, dull
pedal stuff. I think you should be concentrating more on what's happening
on the other side of the guitar cables, right? I think guitarists are really
over-admired and over-revered. I don't mind when people are telling me
about their 1971 Firebird, but it's the same thing as people telling me
about their car or something. It's fine if you have an interest. By talking
with me, though, you could be interviewing a novelist about guitars. It's
the same thing, except I don't write that well either. I like my guitar
and I enjoy playing it.
To some it's a phallic substitute. Our guitars are
more clitoris substitutes than phallus ones. We stroke them in a nicer,
gentler way.

Radiohead embraces technology, both on the video
and sonic side of things.
By Ian Gillespie
London Free Press
..... It's clear that Radiohead embraces technology.
On the visual side, the band has put
out some shockingly unique videos, including
the new animated video for the single Paranoid Android.
And on the sonic side of things, OK Computer
evokes an Orwellian, post- industrial wasteland
filled with motorways, digital voices and spiritual
emptiness.
"I think we're the first generation to grow up having
computers as toys, not being scared at all,"
says Greenwood.
"You could tie two or three of the songs together
with computers, but you could equally
link others with transport and speed. So it's kind
of too much of a mess to describe, really." ....

... The show the next night is outstanding.
He might be evasive in interviews, but on his own
turf, Yorke is right there. If this is a carton of skim milk, it's like
a Hans Christian Anderson carton, where you open it up and all kinds of
crazy stuff come pouring out, scenes and creatures that form and dissolve
with the inky weirdness of dreams. The audience is riveted, straining toward
the milk, er, music, stretching their hands up like they're trying to take
it in through their palms. It's like secret places are being stroked, places
that nobody could describe and probably won't remember when the concert's
over; but it doesn't matter for the moment because the music just sounds
really, really good. Backstage, the journalist approaches Yorke with a
smile on her face. "That was a beautiful show.
" "Thank you," he says, smiling back. 'Sorry about
the other day," he adds.
"It seemed like you were being mean," she says.
"Oh, I was. But it seemed like you were doing this
heavy literary thing, and I didn't like it. But then I realized it wasn't
like that.
" She hesitates. "I know you don't like to deal with
emotional stuff," she says, "so you don't have to deal with this, but there's
this friend of mine who's 17, and your music had a really good emotional
effect on him. "Seventeen?" Yorke smiles even more. 'Really?' He can sneer
like a bastard, but when he smiles, he looks like a 17year-old himself
"Yeah. I know him because he's a writer.' She tells
about this Fiend, who was a street hustler from the ages of 13 to 15. His
mom was a drug addict who sometimes turned tricks with him, and who ultimately
abandoned him in a hotel with an older man. Through a public clinic, he
got hooked up with a psychiatrist who basically saved him- although it
took a while.
'He didn't know how to deal with the psychiatrist
at first," she continues. The couldn't talk to him. So he played him your
record, The Bends, and they talked about that. It's how they bonded-your
record was how they were slowly able (u get into other subjects.
" She doesn't add that the kid (a raw talent who
writes under the name Terminator) said the record expressed feelings he
had but didn't know how to convey. But what she does say is also true:
The doesn't think you're responsible for his feelings. He's smart. He doesn't
expect you to make the same music on every record, even if it was really
important to him. And he wouldn't care what somebody wrote about it in
a magazine. Your fans probably don't, either. The magazine article is just
somebody talking. Even if it's interesting, it's just a frill. It's the
music that counts.
' That's great,'says Yorke. "You should write that.
That's better than anything I could say."

Let's face it, you're unlikely to get your face on
wrist-watches, baseball caps ot mugs. Unless you happen to be Radiohead's
Colin Greenwood, that is, in which case you have an entire catalogue devoted
to your near-the-back loveliness. Apparently.
"The Colin Catalogue" features such must-have items
as wallpaper, vases, bedlinen, waterproof plasters and loo roll, all adorned
with the moon-faced features of the less prominent Greenwood brother in
one of two styles : Colin surprised and Colin upset.
Orders are limited to 16 items per person on account
of demand, and prices range from 75p for badges to £12.99 for the
duvet cover. If you'd prefer to keep your devotion low key, you can join
the Colin is Cool fanclub.
With similar cults surroundind the other non-Thom
members - eg. "Ed's kinky shoelace" and "Phil Selway is great", it seems
that, even if you're destined to remain behind the keyboards for an eternity,
you need never feel "Let down" again. Ahem.

insister sur les quelques mois de repos qu'ils vont prendre : "We want
to spend some time to rebuild ties with family, friends,..."; "Keep ourselves
to ourselves"; "Go away and hide for a few months"; "Important for all

THE SPIN TOP 40 VITAL ARTISTS IN ROCK
#2 - RADIOHEAD
Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood, international
man of mystery
Spin: Mr. Bloke? Do you always take calls at hotels
under an alias?
Colin Greenwood: It's even more necessary when we're
in Japan-fans are always calling up.
Right now, to a lot of people, Radiohead seem the
sovereign artistic operation in rock'n'roll. What, if anything, connects
"Creep," The Bends, and OK Computer?
When we rehearse, we're always trying to aim for
something else. But we never quite succeed in getting there. For example,
we used to call "Creep" the "Scott Walker song." Of course, it doesn't
sound at all like him. We wanted it to-we're enormous fans-but it fell
short.
But many of your fans have this romantic notion of
your music as being somehow sourceless- especially OK Computer.
Completely the opposite. To us, it's rooted in obvious
things-what we've listened to, that is. At the same time, the ways in which
our music is rehearsed and played and recorded are, if not sourceless,
placeless. We are kind of one step removed, not really in the center of
things. Well, Oxford is in the center of England, but it's not really a
rock'n'roll town, and we don't record in a rock'n'roll place. We rehearse
at an old fruit farm-an apple shed, really. I suppose that's where the
Pink Floyd comparisons come in. They were from Cambridge. It's that whole
middle-class thing.
Class, that little-discussed rock'nroll issue.
There's no point apologizing about where you come
from. The thing about rock is that people are not just interested in bands
because of where they want to go. It's where they want to escape from that
matters. Sometimes the actual places they're escaping from don't really
exist.
When you're onstage, audiences often get blown away
by that famed Radiohead presence. Maybe that's why rock stars drop your
name as often as Prada's these days.
[German film director] Wim Wenders came to a show
in Cologne last year with his son, who is a Radiohead fan. Wenders had
listened to OK Computer because he was going to the concert. He liked it,
but he didn't think there was a way it could be replicated live. He was
amazed that it was.
Your studiocraft does tend toward the ambitious.
We always talk about doing simple pop records, then
end up doing some silly long things-no, I didn't say that.
Well, ambitiousness hasn't stranded you.
I was having drinks yesterday in Sydney at the top
of the ANA Hotel, on the 36th floor, looking down on this neon cityscape
of bridges and rivers. In ten days, I'll be in Tokyo.
So do Radiohead enjoy being rock stars?
Enjoy? You can never say that. It'd be a guilty pleasure,
like saying one would enjoy 18 chocolates.

too seriously."
