My personal favorite band Radiohead came out with their new 7th album. With interesting way of promote their new album In Rainbows. You can set your own price for their music from online (http://www.inrainbows.com/). I got it for free since I’m planning to buy the album itself in near future. I consider Radiohead as one of the most innovative bands in the world. Electronica is the genre for this album. 2nd track “Bodysnatchers” starts with great riff guitar sounds will definitely catch your ears. Then rapid repeative drum beats speed up the song while contributing the dynamic of the sounds. Thom, vocal of this band sings the song slowly then he sings faster and sometimes it almost sounds as if chant. During the bridge of the song, rhythm guitar makes the background of the song as if you are hearing mysterious waves playing in your ears when this transition is going with Thom Yorke’s falsetto singing turns into fast rage tone as if he is trying to warm us. By the end of the song you will feel like as if you just finished roller coaster ride. The funny thing about this track is that the more you listen to it the more you will notice the many different sounds layered together at the same time. Also interesting fact about this album is that some of the songs are binaural recorded; I didn’t know what was that term until I did little search on wikipedia.org and I found out that using different sounds on each other to create whole another sound. So I advise you to listen to this song with headphones to truly experience the band’s great effort.
