If there was ever any doubt as to the raw power of Radiohead’s Amnesiac era—a logical, and oft-overlooked, extension of its far-more acclaimed predecessor Kid A—it’s swiftly brushed aside by Echo Collective’s instrumental rendition of the entire record. Released on 7K! a little under a year ago, Echo Collective Plays Amnesiac is a moving collection of neo-classical music—one that’s rife for remixing.
Which brings us to the Brussels group’s first volume of Amnesiac Reworks; set to hit shops tomorrow, it features such close friends and collaborators as Christina Vantzou, Maps, and PROPE. Check it out in full a day early here, along with tour dates that include complete performances of Amnesiac and the Burzum album Dauði Baldrs….
