Already creating serious web buzz via leaked tracks on blogs and chat rooms, Easy Star All-Stars' inspirational 'Radiodread' album featuring a complete reggae version of Radiohead's 'OK Computer,' is one of the most refreshing albums coming out this summer.

The Easy Star All-Stars are a collective family of some of the finest reggae musicians in the New York area. The masterminds behind the All-Stars are Easy Star musical director Michael Goldwasser (a.k.a. Michael G), his production partner Victor Axelrod (a.k.a. Ticklah), and his two Easy Star label partners Eric Smith and Lem Oppenheimer. These four were the team behind the album Dub Side of the Moon (2003), which was a complete reggae re-vision of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. That record has spent over 3 years on Billboard’s Reggae charts, making it one of the most successful reggae albums of the 21st century. In support of that release, the band has been playing to sold out shows across the globe, including major festivals such as Reggae On The River, The All Good Festival, Reggae On Rocks and the U.K.’s Big Chill.

Radiodread was the new challenge in the collective's open minded approach - a complete reggae version of Radiohead's OK Computer. It has already drawn support from Radiohead themselves, as well as their die-hard fans and reggae enthusiasts. Thom Yorke, "in a rare moment of onstage chatter" according to USA Today, praised Toots and the Maytals’ version of “Let Down,” while Yorke’s bandmate, guitarist Jonny Greenwood, calls it “truly astounding." In addition to Toots, the album features reggae giants Horace Andy (on the opener "Airbag"), Israel Vibration ("The Tourist") and Morgan Heritage (preaching voodoo economics on "Electioneering"). Another stand-out track is "Karma Police," fueled by Citizen Cope's distinctive and raspy voice. Radiodread draws out the universal messages in Radiohead's masterpiece, which speaks to the need to create spiritual human interactions in the face of cold technology and soul-crushing routine. Oppenheimer attests, "Reggae music conveys hope in the bleakest moments. Likewise, there is humor and hope in the voices of OK Computer's lyrics and that's where we found the deepest connections with the reggae spirit." Hear it for yourself as the All-stars' reggae and roots stylings mingle perfectly with the cosmic vibrations of these classic originals.
