Back in February, Bay Area's AmpLive (and half of the Zion I duo) took Radiohead's seventh studio album, In Rainbows, and created his interpretation of the album entitled, Rainydayz Remixes. What we are left with is, what seems like, a sincere effort to expose Radiohead to a broader audience. Featuring artists such as Zion I, Too $hort and Del the Funky Homosapien (and even a remix of the remix featuring Def Jux's Yak Ballz), AmpLive's 8 track, remix album is definitely an original piece, eclectic at that. While I find it a bit difficult to digest some of the glitch-heavy segments (and his strange proclivity for adding z's to the end of words), there are some tracks that I believe blend nicely with AmpLive's hip-hop roots. Here are the stand-out tracks, in my opinion:
Weird Fishez
AmpLive shines on this track fusing Radiohead's original material with booty bass and drum claps.
Video Tapez (feat. Del the Funky Homosapien)
Del's cadence strangely compliments the song well and this is one of the few tracks that isn't completely sliced and diced, keeping the pure melody of the prototype.
15 Stepz (feat. Codany Holiday)
Holiday's soulful voice sounds dope over a smooth adaptation of In Rainbow's opening anthem.
