I normally hate shit like this, but I think these ones work particularly well.

OK Computer

KID A

You can post other full album 8-bit interpretations here, but they won't be as good. These albums both seem to lend to the translation, in addition to the guy who adapted them doing a pretty good job and choosing pretty clever tones.

I think my favorite right now is Airbag

[Hot Coldman]

Yeah, Idioteque is as good as I expected.

[More Fun To Compute]

Good music works if it is studio production, acoustic or chip tunes.

[Parallax]

paranoid android sounds right at home in a megaman game. i like.

[Mr. Serious Business]

Let Down sounds straight out of Pokemon.

[ViewtifulJC]

Call me back when the best Radiohead album, In Rainbows, is up.

[Staccat0]

Good music works if it is studio production, acoustic or chip tunes.

Sure, but to me, chip tunes usually feel like a cloying tribute to nerds rather than something that comes from a place of understanding for the music. These manage to capture the tones and moods of the work without turning everything into a goofy farce.
I could jam this with no irony... maybe. Ask me tomorrow.

Call me back when the best Radiohead album, In Rainbows, is up.

As time goes on, I'm coming around to your side.
Seeing them live this year, I found myself most excited for the IR stuff.

Amnesiac has filler tracks

[godelsmetric]

Call me back when the best Radiohead album, In Rainbows Amnesiac, is up.

BEST RADIOHEAD ALBUM FIGHT GO GO GO GO GO GO

[shuri]

I don't know, but I skipped around to listen to my fav track from the album, and I love chiptunes too..and It sounded wayyy off in some part, as if little to no care was paid attention to while doing this. It's not melodic at all, the waves are irritating; and .. I know its a fan project, but it sounds dreadful :(

[godelsmetric]

Fuck me Idioteque is a great (perfect?) song.

[Altazor]

Call me back when the best Radiohead album, In Rainbows, is up.

BEST RADIOHEAD ALBUM FIGHT GO GO GO GO GO GO

I think you guys mean Kid A.

[bobbychalkers]

Went straight to Idioteque...

[Staccat0]

Morning Bell is pretty good too.
I really like that song. Morning Bell needs more love. So good live.

[Hot Coldman]

Went straight to Idioteque...

Damn right you did.

Call me back when the best Radiohead album, In Rainbows, is up.

oh fuck I need a 8-bit version of Jigsaw like now

[godelsmetric]

Amnesiac has filler tracks

It does, but it also has Hunting Bears, Like Spinning Plates and Life in a Glasshouse, which are all basically perfect.

I've shed manly tears listening to Amnesiac.

[Mr. Serious Business]

BEST RADIOHEAD ALBUM FIGHT GO GO GO GO GO GO

Ok Computer is the only correct answer.

[Tucah]

I'm normally not one for this sort of thing but these are excellent. I hope more Radiohead albums are given this same treatment (how about third best In Rainbows?)

[Altazor]

It does, but it also has Hunting Bears, Like Spinning Plates and Life in a Glasshouse, which are all basically perfect. I've shed manly tears listening to Amnesiac.

I would add Pyramid Song to that list too.

[Staccat0]

New favorite: Exit Music

It does, but it also has Hunting Bears, Like Spinning Plates and Life in a Glasshouse, which are all basically perfect.

Life in a Glass House is indeed perfect.
It's weird you accidentally pasted those other tracks into your post though.

[markot]

Brilliant ^_^

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Morning Bell is pretty good too. I really like that song. Morning Bell needs more love. So good live.

I prefer the Amnesiac version, though.

[Staccat0]

I prefer the Amnesiac version, though.

THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK???

Get out of my thread! Go start your own thread of lies and sick fantasies
:D

EDIT: FUUUU
Let Down really is prettty good too

[More Fun To Compute]

I feel like OK Computer works better. No Surprises sounds fun, like it's the the title/intro music from a classic console game.

I can't really decide between In Rainbows and Amnesiac. Why would I have to.

[Always-honest]

hnnngg, this is awesome. Thanx

[The Judge]

Paranoid Android and Electioneering are really good


Edit: as is everything else

[Gattsu25]

This is like mega man heaven.

[butter_stick]

National Anthem

My god

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I thought the crazy people who didn't acknowledge OK Computer's superiority over all other Radiohead albums were just a myth.

[Atlagev]

Love this. Haven't finished listening yet, though (on Let Down, which, surprisingly, doesn't seem to work as well as it should. Not bad, just was expecting more given the source material).

Also, OK Computer is the best Radiohead album.

[godelsmetric]

National Anthem My god

Oh my.

[edit]You know what's infinitely lame? The fact that there's not a good version of their SNL performances on Youtube. That version of National Anthem was maybe one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

[Altazor]

National Anthem My god

fuck yeah

[xtrasauce]

This is... magic. Thank you.

[More Fun To Compute]

You are basically wrong.

[Amakusa]

will be checking this out once I get home from work, RH is one of favored bands.

[jtb]

kid a is fantastic, from the bits I've listened to, esp everything in its right place and idioteque.

[ThoseDeafMutes]

You are basically wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXO9KUaI8KM

I'm not saying that's a bad song from a bad album.

But then again, maybe I am.

[Gentleman Jack]

[edit]You know what's infinitely lame? The fact that there's not a good version of their SNL performances on Youtube. That version of National Anthem was maybe one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

Will I get banned if I say I listen to the bootleg of National Anthem from their 2000 European tour more than the album version?

Oh my god 3:29 on from Airbag.

[More Fun To Compute]

I'm not saying that's a bad song from a bad album. But then again, maybe I am.

Yeah well, maybe I'm saying that it is really amazing and better than anything from OK computer.

[godelsmetric]

I don't know, but the version from I Might Be Wrong is pretty incredible.

The SNL performance was something special, though, because it actually had the brass section.

[Friedreich]

Huh

Thanks for this, really.

[NinjaBoiX]

8-bit Electioneering is all kindsa funky! The "I go forwards, you go backwards, and somewhere we will meet" bit sounds awesome!
Edit:around 31 mins in case anyone wants to know.

[Brettison]

Regular albums my preference is Kid A >>> Ok Computer

for this though I'm thinking.... Ok Computer >>>> Kid A

[Gentleman Jack]

You're a pretty fast listener. I'm still only 2/3 of the way through Paranoid Android (I prefer the crowdsourced interpretation) and haven't started Kid A yet.

[wenis]

I still don't get this 8-bit sound. It's cool when used sparingly in a full band, but listening to traditional albums done up in 8-bit I'll never understand.

[fat pat]

Oh my. [edit]You know what's infinitely lame? The fact that there's not a good version of their SNL performances on Youtube. That version of National Anthem was maybe one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

That performance is what started me on Radiohead. I was absolutely blown away. It was an eye opening experience for me. I was 13 at the time.

[Ravensmash]

I'm actually enjoying these, and I can't say that I'm a big fan of 8-bit generally.

How come there are so many full albums on Youtube now anyway?

But thanks, will listen through these - something strangely relaxing and nostalgic about them.

[Gentleman Jack]

Have you heard this reinterpretation of Nude played by a programmed array of obsolete hardware? Sometimes degraded versions of music are spectacular. It's worth checking out. You don't have to be a chiptune-loving geek to appreciate it.

[Brettison]

I cheated a little as I saw this past around today before this thread was created.

PS: What we need are some DRM Free .mp3s of this that are free to download without having to create YT rips.

[ThoseDeafMutes]

8-bit version of Fitter Happier is godawful.

[Despera]

I thought the crazy people who didn't acknowledge OK Computer's superiority over all other Radiohead albums were just a myth.

OC used to be my favourite album, until IR showed up. Opinions.

An 8-bit ver. of In Rainbows, particularly Jigsaw Falling Into Place, would be an interesting listen.
