    Listen: Radiohead's 'OK Computer' gets 8-bit makeover

    Radiohead long decided to become a completely different band than that which saw them headline Glastonbury in 1997 but one intrepid fan may have made the link between what we hear today and the band Radiohead once were.

    Yes, somebody with an equal love of all things Thom Yorke and vintage computer games has recorded the entirety of Radiohead's OK Computer album in 8-bit quality. The glitchy sounds shed a totally different light on songs such as 'Karma Police' and 'Electioneering', as you can hear below.

    We love it, though it is hard not to imagine Super Mario collecting coins and jumping down pipes to the sound of 'Paranoid Android'.

    Check the 8-Bit take on 'OK Computer' below and, if you like it, be sure to listen to Kid A getting the same treatment here.
