From the definitive version of “Lift” to embryonic renditions of “Let Down” and “Airbag,” here are Minidiscs [Hacked]’s essential tracks
concerts but never placed on a studio album or B-side – was Radiohead fans’ great white whale, a perfect synthesis of‘s arthouse aspirations, weaponized with the band’s best hook since “Creep.” When “Lift” finally did arrive as‘s 20th anniversary reissue, the version – restrained, decelerated and boasting an uncharacteristically blasé Yorke vocal take – failed to capture the magnitude of those live renditions.
Now, consider the magnitude captured: Three of-the-era “Lift” studio recordings are the crown jewel of the minidiscs, the best of which appears 10 minutes into Minidisc 125, a striking rendition complete with the Casio intro, soaring guitars lockstep with strings-mimicking synths and Yorke’s impassioned vocals. The “Lift” featured here are well worth the $23 for-charity Bandcamp asking price, or the alleged $150,000 ransom.
Radiohead have always been strict gatekeepers and shrewd curators of their own music, so it’s fascinating, jarring and almost myth-shattering to hear Yorke this unguarded and, well, imperfect. In a way, the minidiscs’ bedroom recordings carry the same raw voyeuristic experience as thesoundtrack recordings, which similarly captured Kurt Cobain in a not-for-public-consumption mood.
As such, most of the solo recordings here are inessential – there’s probably a reason the majority of these tracks weren’t revisited – with Yorke often laying down ideas or riffs with placeholder lyrics, songs in their most embryonic form.
