Radiohead's 'OK Computer' recreated using Nintendo 64 game sounds: Listen

By editorial board on June 13, 2023

Radiohead's 1997 album 'OK Computer' has been recreated using sounds from games that were released for the Nintendo 64 console.

The creation is the work of YouTuber on4word, who has reimagined the tracks of Radiohead's classic third album with sounds from games such as 'Super Mario 64', 'The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask', 'The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time', 'Golden Eye 007', 'Banjo Kazooie', 'Yoshi's Story' and 'Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'.

A YouTube video featuring the recreations, which you can watch below, also comes backed with visuals from the games that were used to remake the album, which has been given the name 'OK Nintendo 64'.

Meanwhile, Jonny Greenwood, the maestro guitarist of Radiohead is living on an Italian farm, harvesting and pressing olives, with Stanley Donwood .

Unfortunately it can only be shipped to the UK - or perhaps fortunately: a liter can costs a good £60, or €67, several times more than a better italian extra virgin olive oil.  A liter of extra virgin olive oil of super excellent quality sells for around €12.

For the past eight years, Jonny Greenwood, the maestro guitarist of Radiohead and the Smile, has been living on a farm in the Italian region Le Marche, harvesting and pressing olives with friends and family to make an artisanal extra virgin olive oil. That oil is on sale now, at £60 (roughly $75) per signed liter bottle, via Radiohead’s W.A.S.T.E. store. Radiohead’s longtime artist Stanley Donwood designed the “Greenwood Oil” label.

With a hint of apology, Greenwood tweeted that he was “really proud of the final product,” despite this being the sort of thing that “rock stars of a certain age seem to drift into.” (“It’s Sting we’re all thinking of,” he added in the fine print.) “It’s an addictive thing though, harvesting and pressing this glorious fruit, and spending more and more time with Italian friends in this beautiful country,” Greenwood wrote. “Mejo de cusci’ non se trova. Jemo a manga!” That last part roughly translates from a regional Italian dialectic as, “You can’t find any better than that. Let’s go eat!”
