Thomas Dolby remixes Radiohead’s ‘Nude’
When Radiohead offered fans the chance to remix the latest single ‘Nude’, the band probably didn’t expect Thomas Dolby to be one of them.
Musician Thomas Dolby found a banner at the iTunes store for the Radiohead remix contest. He wrote on his blog: “I love their album and especially ‘Nude’ so I was intrigued, and I downloaded the guitar stem and opened it in Logic 8. Now, each of the stems starts from 00:00 so it took a while before the guitar started to play. While waiting for it I just listened to the lapping of the waves on the shore, and the cry of some seagulls fighting over a crab shell. By the time the beautiful plaintive guitar part came in I was completely mesmerised. It left such a vivid impression on me that this became the basis for a remix, and I recorded a sample of the waves and seagulls and included it in the track. I downloaded the rest of the stems, and after two straight nights with no sleep, the mix is finally finished, and I’ve just posted it on www.radioheadremix.com.”

Forgive my ignorance but is Thomas Dolby the Dolby in “Dolby Surround Sound”? If so, that’s pretty cool. Otherwise, I have no idea who he is.

For those here that aren’t familiar with him, Thomas Dolby was a scientist who became famous in the early 80’s when he lost his eyesight.

Don’t know if Lex is kidding or not, but shame on you people for not knowing Thomas Dolby. A “one-hit wonder” in the USA, with “She Blinded Me With Science,” but a musical and lyrical genius and technological pioneer (he basically invented the technology that makes your cell phone ring and music stream online). And, no, he did not invent Dolby sound.

Never heard of him but it’s a great remix, certainly much better than the early ones (I haven’t looked since),if some weak moments. The added strings are terrible.
*Probably just an american
