I know about Bandcamp - but it's easy to upload WAVs sourced from the 192kbps files.

The SDE followers will complain about it not being on CD with bonus material :)

Methinks you've failed, and you're a disgrace. Keep on trolling.
Good on Radiohead for stripping the hackers of their power. They've always been ahead of the curve.
20 hours of outtakes makes me wish I was more into them. But nobody can really deny the greatness of OK Computer - the Sgt Pepper of the 90s.

I think the official release is higher quality than the leak, but MiniDiscs audio is lossy anyway so it's not CD quality.
Jimmy Dean · Member since
right but we don`t know what source was used.... the minidiscs themselves or the masters that were used to create the minidiscs...
if the masters to create the minidiscs are readily available... seems less costly to just use those than to transfer, decode, reencode, etc

I agree with him. Definitely released some challenging and mind blowing music over the years.

I should imagine most of the masters are lost if these were archived back in the late 90s (being MD I imagine they were). At the very least a total ball ache to compile again against the clock.
An HQ rip from those original MDs would be fine unless you're a cat or only judge quality by looking at waveforms / post on the Hoffman forum :)
The idea of keeping them in the original as-ripped chunks suggests it's what we have already.
Like Real Wizard I really wish I was more into them (that said, if this came out in '96 '97 I'd be all over them). I feel a bit 'emperor's new clothes' with Radiohead. Posh boys who got lucky in time and career?
Although to be honest there's not many artist I'd patiently listen to this kind of leak all the way through and be able to spot snippets of obscure songs and know what they were / what they became. Queen / Bowie / Suede / Sparks / Velvets.
A shame they are giving the money to Extinction Rebellion. Although I guess most of their fans are now firmly entrenched in the lefty-but-do-nothing camp so will cheer the decision.
Either way, it's a fantastic story, especially the whole way it's come about. Nuts.
And makes me proud to also have an archive of about 40 minidisc of my demos and out takes. I doubt I'll be blackmailed for them though :D

Sorry about the BRAINDUMP post

That doesn't make them the most important band of the past 25 years, not even near...
Also what I said is true about them, they have failed and disgraced themselves by not taking care of their own shit.

Can I be really honest, I only know one Radiohead song and I don't like it (Creep). I know you shouldn't rate a band on just one song but I don't think I'll like their music.
I always thought the best album of the 90s (which I love and both of my parents love) is Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory. I mean it sold 5.1 million copies for a reason.

It sold 5.1 million largely for reasons other than the music.
We think we've got it bad now - we truly lost our minds in the 90s.
And loved every second of it.

for sure Creep and Karma Police are their only big hits
After that the band started getting hyped by hipsters.

Ha. If you listened to Creep and some of their later stuff you wouldn't even think it was the same band. :)
