Radiohead in 8-Bit? You Better Believe It.

I found two full-length Radiohead albums (OK Computer, Kid A) completely rendered into chiptune. Here's the links below, for your amusement:

OK Computer

Re: Radiohead in 8-Bit? You Better Believe It.

Let's see... listening...

It doesn't really make up for the raw guitar of "Airbag" that puts so much feeling into the song  hmm

"Paranoid Android" sounds like it should be the soundtrack to a side-scrolling platformer on the SNES, perhaps one with a time limit.

The climax of "Exit Music" is really cool, and the chiptune does a nice job of preserving that.

The drums in "Let Down" are realy annoying  tongue

Oh man "Karma Police" sounds nice... the piano translates really well. The end sounds really amazing too.

I don't really like the background of "Fitter Happier"

"Electioneering" sounds really loungey on here, lacking punch just like "Airbag". It isn't that bad, though, just different.

"Climbing Up the Walls" sounds cool, like dungeon music or something.

"No Surprises" sounds a little off-key, if my ears don't mistake me. Some of the high pitched notes really hurt to hear too.

The drums in "Lucky" kinda ruin it for me

"The Tourist" sounds a bit too upbeat, which isn't really the end that it's supposed to be.

Overall, OK Computer was alright but a bit lacking. Also, the drums really didn't fit at all and kind of punched through the slow, sad songs.
