OK Computer, but...

[thegreenhell]

one man mimics all the instruments with his voice and plays the full album perfectly. This is a work of genius

Thanks for that, pretty good effort.

25 years yesterday since is was released. It never gets old.

Random new factoid, which I found out this morning, 9,132 days after release.

At the end of Airbag and into Paranoid Android are the "Boops"
boop, boop, boop, boop.

And Thom Yorke says "boop" over the last one.


blingybongy, you're gonna hate this one then:

However did you guess?
In all truth I have probably listened to OK Computer 1000s of times, I love it. It doesn't have a duff track, well maybe Fitter Happier. The only albums I've listened to more often would be Wish You Were Here, Led Zep 4 and Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb, Guilty.

That track is pivotal to the whole album, it's where the protagonist starts to properly break down.

There's an awesome Nigel Godrich interview on Sounds going through it from a producer's viewpoint. And loads of other BBC OK Computer stuff.

I said it was a duff track not unimportant.

We were on honeymoon in Mauritius a couple of years after OK Computer was released. One night in the restaturant a local guy was sitting at the bar with an acoustic guitar singing a selection of numbers, one of which was Karma Police. Very romantic. I kept hoping for Fitter Happier but to no avail.

Climbing Up The Walls wouldn’t have been a bad pick either!.

Absolutely brilliant album but not sure in honesty it’s my favourite of theirs, definitely up there though!.
