Radiodread
Found this killer reggae album that is actually a reggae version of Radiohead’s OK Computer. It features all sorts of performers including Toots and the Maytals. Some of the songs don’t really sound anything like the Radiohead originals, but they are all really cool takes on the originals. My favorite cut so far is Karma Police. This is from the makers of the Pink Floyd reggae album Dub Side Of The Moon. You can stream four songs off the album here.
Here is the skinny from the site:
“‘Radiodread’ features an impressive array of reggae stars supplying vocals
to the Easy Star All- Stars’ backing tracks. Reggae pioneers Toots and the
Maytals make their Easy Star debut, singing a driving version of “Let Down”
while Citizen Cope’s distinctive voice fuels the haunting “Karma Police.”
Horace Andy (”Airbag”), Morgan Heritage (”Electioneering”), The Meditations (”No Surprises”), Israel Vibration (”The Tourist”), Sugar Minott (”Exit (Music For A Film)”), Frankie Paul (”Lucky”) also join The Easy Star All-Stars for ‘Radiodread.”
