This paper will explore the theme of denouement in relation to the album’s sonic, thematic, and aesthetic qualities. It is clear that the thematic leitmotif running throughout the album, influencing everything from Yorke’s lyrics, the sonic dynamism and experimentation on show, to the album’s artwork, is, in a word, denouement. It landed at #2 on Under the Radar‘s Top 100 Albums of 2016 list.OK Computer marks an important volta or fin-de-siècle in Radiohead’s oeuvre. Radiohead released their acclaimed latest album, A Moon Shaped Pool, last May. Under this weighty tome are yet more surprises: a notebook containing 104 pages from Thom Yorke’s library of scrawled notes of the time, a sketchbook containing 48 pages of Donwood and Tchock’s ‘preparatory work’ and a C90 cassette mix tape compiled by the band, taken from OK Computer session archives and demo tapes.” The press release describes it as such: The OKNOTOK boxed edition will ship July, featuring a black box emblazoned with a dark image of a burned copy of OK Computer containing three heavyweight 180 gram black 12” vinyl records and a hardcover book containing more than thirty artworks (many of which have never been seen before) and full lyrics to all the tracks (except the ones that haven’t really got any lyrics). The boxed edition includes Thom Yorke’s notes from the era and mix tape made by the band, among other things. Below is the tracklist, followed by the video for “Paranoid Android” and two recent tweets from the band about the reissue.Īll of the tracks are newly remastered from the original analogue tapes. Then there’s a special boxed edition due out in July. It is being dubbed as OKNOTOK and includes a remastered version of the original album, eight B-sides, and three previously unreleased tracks from the era: “I Promise,” “Lift,” and “Man of War.” The CD/digital/vinyl versions of the reissue are due out June 23 via XL.
Radiohead have announced a deluxe reissue of their landmark 1997 album OK Computer in honor of its 20th anniversary.
