Exclusive: an inspired reimagining of one of the better tracks on In Rainbows - Australia's Prince Charming (plus a sample cast that includes Martin Luther King, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon &, less obviously, Whittaker Chambers) wrings yearning, menace & uplift out of Videotape with his poignant Videotrip (Tragedy of History).
Hear a sanctioned Nude remix here & others here (NB: LMYE's 'nothing unsanctioned under 1 year' policy waived for Videotrip in view of IR's original distribution...).

What a trip? What is the story behind this "re-imaging"?...
Anonymous, thanks for stopping by, & for the reposts - LMYE may be seeing a whole new audience soon...
Videotrip is a re-imagining of a great song by a talented guy down in Australia.
LMYE
What an incredible version, he has managed to take Videotapes poignancy and relate it to the atomic bomb use, incredible, especially relevant if you consider Thom Yorke's song 'atoms for peace' which as a song has two themes, the use of atomic energy for peace as depicted in a topical speech during the race for the atom bomb (perhaps by isenhower or someone i cant remember its on a song meanings website) coupled with an inspiring depiction of someone who should kick drugs, which works very harmoniously. Thom would love this version for sure.
