"While Amp acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publicly available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. And guess what -- it's available now. Effective immediately, the eight-track record will be available for download in zip format at the below address:

"Amp" set out to remix what might be Radiohead's best work to date, and did so without asking permission. His zealousness over the release of this project might have caused him to lose all capacity for logical and cogent thought, but DUDE, does everything today have to be remixed?
While it's cool to hear a vet like Del tha Funky Homosapian spin some new material, I wish this guy would go the route of U.N.K.L.E. and present it in a fashion that showcases Mr. Live's originality simultaneously, which, from listening to his own material, isn't about to happen.
Above all, Radiohead have shown that they know who to pick when it comes to remixing their own material (i.e., Fortet's chilling "Sktterbrn") and will solicit you if they feel that you are competent to do so. That did not happen here. This was nothing but a huge publicity stunt designed to bring attention to a project not deserving of any, and in the end even the quality takes are tarnished and tainted.
