Delayed reviews: 7 TV Commercials & True Love Waits
Two late reviews in the press last week. One is from the Daily Telegraph, reviewing Radiohead’s DVD ‘7 Television Commercials‘: “It would have been less than fitting for any of the classic Radiohead singles contained on this DVD - Paranoid Android, Street Spirit, No Surprises, Just, High and Dry, Karma Police and Fake Plastic Trees - not to have been accompanied by their just as stunning and haunting video clips. Fortunately, they are. Standouts are Paranoid Android’s animated epic and the bizarre, bare-bones No Suprises, in which frontman Thom Yorke stands in front of the camera in a spacesuit and sings while the mask fills with water. The exception is High and Dry, arguably also the weakest song here, which is accompanied by a slightly lacklustre US-only video. Still, if you’re a Radiohead fan you need to own this regardless, in spite of the fact there are no extras included.”
In the Deseret Morning News, Christopher O’Riley’s ‘True Love Waits‘ was reviewed: ” I had never listened to Radiohead, but I found that this album satisfied even my “music-snob” standards, evoking a range of emotions. The piano entranced me with contemporary sounds. My impression wasn’t that I was listening to a rock band-cover tune, but to a pianist playing a composer’s piece. The CD is loyal to Radiohead’s music, though without the singing. Classical pianist Christopher O’Riley has done a remarkable job of capturing the sounds of Radiohead on the piano. The swelling of the dynamics makes one think of rolling waves at times, while at other times it’s like a storm breaking out in the middle of a calm day. There are a variety of musical techniques involved throughout the CD, keeping one entranced until the end. I must add, however, if you are expecting the sounds of rock with all the instruments, singing, etc., you’ll be disappointed. But if you wanted Radiohead exemplified with some incredible piano playing, then you can find it here.” [thanks Alex]
