5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 6 Jan 2002
Having been looking forward to the arrival of this CD for some time, I was not dissapointed. The depth and passion of the original is re-worked with an astonishing outcome. This truly is a must for any Radiohead fan and any classical enthusiasts. It's a masterpiece. It is unique and it totally makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Once you've started to play it you will not be able to turn it off. Buy it now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointing, 20 Jan 2004
By Declan Gallen "declan" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While undoubtably performed by great musicians the arrangements on this album lack any real heart and are, on a whole, rather weak. Little is done in reworking the tracks and as a result some tracks simply feel wrong. Purchase only out of curiosity and be prepared for dissappointment. Try 'True Love Waits' by Christopher O'Riley instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, 6 Feb 2002
By A Customer
On hearing the strains of subterranean homesick alien rendered so exquisitely on strings, tears literally came to my eyes.

This album seems to present a layer of the essence of each song on ok computer which gives a new dimension to the song.

Try and avoid comparing it with the real thing if you can.Try to see it as a work on its own-then you realise how beautiful the melodies underpinning the space rock that is OK computer are, without the glossy but beautiful effects and ripping guitar.

It is a nice album in the respect that it is a simple concept - four instruments which manage to produce an intricate sound.Simple, but on occasion you feel that perhaps more musicians would enhance things.

It is, however, the nature of strings when playing in chords such as these that the sound becomes somewhat more sparse and plaintive than the original album itself.

Very very worth buying if you are a radiohead obsessive, and definitely one to listen to alone with low lighting and the opportunity to give each track the attention it deserves. Much like the original.

STANDOUT TRACKS:
lucky
exit music
subterranean homesick alien
electioneering (rawk!)
