Thom Yorke gives away Eraser remixes, starting with Surgeon

Thom Yorke has started giving away remixes of songs from The Eraser on theeraser.net, the album's site, announcing each one on Dead Air Space, the band's blog. The first is Surgeon's remix of “The Clock”, and Yorke says it was the one that made him want to start putting them out.

I was chuffed he wanted to do it as think he is a MASTER. He has turned it into something really hard. And disco. Well what i call disco anyhow.

He would like to hear it played in a club somewhere, though he admits he hardly goes out these days.

The second went up on Monday 11 December: “Analyse” by Various Production, a deranged twist on the song in Yorke's words. He got into the London duo through “Hater”, from The World Is Gone, which came out in July on XL, The Eraser's label. NME reports that both remixes are free until 18 December.

Yorke has been listening through the rest of the remixes people have sent in. There's some freaky shit. They may start appearing soon. Gradually. Briefly. Just a taste. And then gone.³
