> This time, Mondocultures and CAS Brussels gladly presents: OK Computer from Radiohead!

About the album:

As Radiohead’s OK Computer turns twenty this year, we have decided to celebrate with a very special listening session here in Brussels.

Brimming with genuine emotion and beautiful, complex imagery, OK Computer is one of the most inventive and rewarding albums of the nineties. The album was a turning point for the band, marking a perfect halfway point between their earlier, alternative-rock records and the avant-garde/electronica albums that would follow. Even after twenty years it still manages to engage the listener in a way few albums during that time period have come close to.

About the presenter: Dorien Schampaert

Apart from teaching popular music studies, music analysis and music technology at the University of Leeds for the past 6 years, Dorien has been a huge Radiohead fan for even longer. In fact, her current research is on the Ondes Martenot, an electronic instrument which features on several Radiohead albums. She will be sharing with us her knowledge of both the band and this particular album.

Audio Menu: Acoustic Signature Challenger MkIII turntable, Ortofon SPU Royal N cartridge, Audio Innovations Series 800 step-up, Audio Note M1 RIAA (modified) phono preamp, Avantgarde Acoustic XA Integrated amplifier, Avantgarde Duo XD horn loudspeakers
