"OK Computer" the most important record of the British band Radiohead is turning 20 years and its members prepared a luxury edition that will be released soon. It will be a luxury reissue that will include rarities and unpublished songs that were recorded at that time but never came to light.
On the promotion of the album, the leader and genius of the group, Tom Yorke offered an interview for the Rolling Stones magazine where he reveals the history and details of the process of writing and recording the album.
Here we leave you part of the interview:
"Back then, the person in the mirror said 'You're shit. Everything you do is shit. Do not do that. It's crap. ' Ghosts talked to me when I was asleep. There was a point where I got up in the morning after one night listening to voices and decided that I had to cut my hair. I cut myself several times. It got messy. I went down the stairs and everybody was like 'Are you okay?' And I would say, 'What's wrong?' Phil [Selway] very gently shaved all my hair. "
About the recording process spoke:
"But I was using the terminology of technology to express it. Everything I was writing was a way of trying to reconnect with other human beings when you are always in transit. That was about what I had to write because that was what happened, it was a kind of loneliness and disconnection "
Thom Yorke revealed that he is open to the idea of recording live as a band for the first time in 20 years:
"I've always been an extreme supporter of not being a drum-guitar-bass band. But if that's what people want to try, I'm too old to stand with a hammer and say 'we should do this, we should do that'. I want everyone to feel free. "
He also referred to the Brit-pop movement of the time, which he did not like and did not want to be part of it.
