Thom Yorke - The Eraser Remix EPs  cover
RA Review
The thing that held back The Eraser , Thom Yorke's solo album from 2006, was its lack of ambition. For too many tracks the Radiohead singer was content to put his falsetto vocals over a skiffled, twee set of laptop beats and leave it at that. There were more successful cuts where lyrics and vocals..

Only heard a handfull of the remix's but loved the original album. Dont particulary agree with the review though, can hardly say Thom yorke lacks originality, one of the most innovative figures in Brittish music history. A burial rmx was hardly expected and quite difficult to stray from formality. Bit of the mark in my opinion.

interesting review - I've only heard the Burial remix to date but I'm looking forward to checking out the others. I thought the original album was one of the albums of 2006 and a real grower even if your reviewer thought TY was "playing it safe"... then again perhaps my music taste is at odds with theirs - each to their own I guess...

I've been rewinding this Surgeon remix for ages of his Sequence set (Manchester 2006)and I love it. Very glad it's finally out for sale!

Agree here. Think the review misses the mark some what. The Eraser was superb in my opinion and a lot more significant than people gave it credit for at the time. These remixes really cannot be described as unadventurous and cosy.

Just taken delivery of the US import of this on CD and the Donwood designed packaging in shiny gold is a real gem. One for the collectors out there.
