The bends was created as a malignant and humurous reaction to the one-hit-wonder pigeonhole of "Creep". Probably the last rock oriented album from Radiohead we'll ever hear and the one which has arguably the biggest hooks of their career, not to mention the impotence & affecting claustrophobia reached in songs like "fake plastic trees" and "street spirit", some of the most affecting Thom Yorke's pen has begotten.
With hindsight after OK Computer and everything else that has come since, The Bends seems just a little bit less special than it once was. Today I have given myself the task to recover the stark and simple beauty of "the bends" by offering you diverse covers and remixes (actually just one remix) that have helped me gain more appreciattion again for this album. I couldn't find any remix or cover of "Bones", a shame as it is one of my favorite songs from the album, I'm filling it with a live version of the song with Thom's voice sounding somewhat cynical (he used to be a very moody small man back then).
Hope you enjoy.
