Welcome to the machine
Un nouveau livre parlant du groupe, et très particulièrement de l’époque OK Computer, a paru en Angleterre ces derniers temps Radiohead: Welcome to the Machine: OK Computer and the Death of the Classic Album, par Tim Frontman spécialité dans ce genre de biographies.
L’ouvrage est en langue anglaise, dommage car ça n’a pas l’air inintéressant.
Le descriptif fourni par Chrome (l’éditeur) : "This guide provides track-by-track dissection of every song produced during the OK Computer recording sessions, including B-sides, and illustrates how the 1997 album is a collection of songs purposefully placed next to one another. Themes prevalent on the album—such as fear of the new millennium, paranoia, political sloganeering, and suicide—and its artistic and political influences are explored, while discussions of the state of the music industry during the album’s release provide rare insight into the improbability of a similarly phenomenal record ever being created."
