Watch - July 1997

Take this to the (memory) bank: there will not be a better album released in 1997 than Radiohead's OK Computer. Interesting recording story: the boys used voice reproduction software for the spoken word track Fitter, Happier. If the computer simulated voice sounds familiar, it's because physicist Stephen "A Brief History of Time" Hawking uses the same software. Rumors to the effect that Hawking is on the album are therefore false, though intriguing. And listen closely to the chorus of current single Paranoid Android, where deep in the background the same voice states: "I am not paranoid, I am an android."
