Thom Yorke

From The Basement ou comment remettre en cause l'industrie de la musique et de la télé, un bon gros coup de pied au c** des chaînes comme MTV ou autres qui font de la musique un infâme business.

Thom Yorke : “From The Basement was exciting because it came from the desire to cut out the crap that lies between the music and the viewer. To get plugged straight into the mains. No producer director egos messing it up. The highlight for me was listening to Kieren and Steve Reid jamming as the tape started rolling.”

Jack White : “I don’t think a music program has recorded a performance on analog reel to reel in thirty years. It was beautifully filmed, and the sound quality makes a performance on a regular TV talk show sound like a wax cylinder recording. No host. Thank God.”

Kieran Hebden : "Everything was done to capture the music in the best possible way, rather than just to make snappy TV. It's not a live gig, it’s something different – seeing musicians in a studio setting, not worrying about the audience. What a positive thing. Heavy analogue sounds, wonderfully filmed picture and a chance to see music performed in a way that is rarely seen."

Nigel Godrich : “I’m a sad fan trying to bring the magic back to music TV.”

Dilly Gent : “I just want to see artist’s doing what they do best...perform. Not being an incidental feature in some magazine show and not being forced into embarrassed conversation.”
