MINIDISCS [HACKED] Tracklist
MINIDISCS [HACKED] is a collection of Thom Yorke’s MiniDisc archive of demos from the OK Computer era. There are 18 discs, each about an hour long.
Radiohead released the archive on Bandcamp, even though these versions were “never intended for public consumption”, as Jonny Greenwood posted on Twitter.
According to the band, Yorke’s archive was hacked and someone apparently demanded $150'000 by threatening to release the files. As a response, Radiohead released it themselves on Bandcamp for 18 days and £18 for the benefit of Extinction Rebellion, an organisation that fights biodiversity loss and climate change.
