Radiohead’s Reissue of “OK Computer” Has a Hidden Treasure
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of OK Computer, Radiohead has released a £100 special edition box of the record—with a hidden treat. As well as an art book and notes from Thom Yorke, the commemorative edition comes with a C90 cassette—on which is a collection of demos and two minutes of “a bizarre high-pitched frequency.” That sound has been recognized as the ZX Spectrum (an ’80s-era British computer) and devoted Radiohead and tech fans have figured out the puzzle. “Running those EQ’d files through a ZX Spectrum emulator, the software pops up with the names of all the band members, dating the software back to the 19th December 1996,” explains Engadget.
