Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) (15% faster tempo from start) - speeded up
- 6 years ago
Radiohead are a much-admired band that released their first album all the way back in 1993, with popular, but completely terrible, single "Creep" becoming a huge world-wide hit.
As a band, they've unusually become much more musically interesting over time, although they could have mined a hugely lucrative whiny indie-rock seam for the rest of their careers. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood has become a noted film soundtrack composer, with superb discordant work for "There Will Be Blood" being a favourite of mine. I found their early albums impossible to listen to in their entirety, although some singles like "Paranoid Android" are classics individually and demonstrate great leaps forward in ambition.
2007's "In Rainbows" album was an industry changing event, as it was downloadable for free and the listener could elect to pay what they want. On a side note, a superb remix album by Amp Live is worth listening to (link below). It was also the first time I could actually enjoy listening through a whole album in one sitting, and the same applies for "The King of Limbs" (2011) and "A Moon Shaped Pool (2016)".
It was rather disappointing that social media feedback to their 2017 Glastonbury headline performance seemed to be desperate for music from the first 20% of their career, and "Creep" had been dug up from a deserved deep grave to please quality-indifferent nostalgists.
"Street Spirit (Fade Out)", whilst a good song, always seems to drag for me and seems to benefit substantially from being 15 percent faster.
Enjoy at 15% faster tempo, original is here for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBnzeG1BvM8
