The quiet in the original "No Surprises" mutates to uptempo number; Mark Ronson expresses "Just" his Sixties Blaster stamp on (and available as single release this sampler stylistically already here a taste of its successful cover-plate "version"); both "Airbag", and "Everything In Its Right Place" are the electric-instrumental (the latter including Brazilian samba rhythms); "In Limbo" is in a Hip Hop - provided context; "High & Dry" swings and grooves rousing; The Randy Watson Experience transform "Morning Bell" in a soul classics from the 1970s; The Bad Plus and The Cinematic Orchestra supply from knotless Jazz Instrumentals .....

Most diverse artists (by Shawn Lee and Mark Ronson, on Matthew Herbert and Sa-Ra; up to The Bad Plus and The Cinematic Orchestra) try their hand at songs of British band Radiohead. Comes out with a good, rousing and (despite the excessive length of some songs) entertaining tribute album whose performers not only 1: want to play 1-copies of the originals, but really seek the music of Radiohead in a new garment, a to provide different context and thus wrest her a new (albeit unusual) side.
