The Portland Cello Project deftly builds a rich atmosphere with their bows, to which Adam Shearer from Weinland and the Alialujah Choir adds a powerful vocal performance. Radiohead's music takes on new shape, with textures that will expecially delight any young composers within earshot. 

Two Penguins takes credit for the impeccable audio and video production, which has us all awaiting the full release of their recordings of the OK Computer performance with bated breath. 

Also, be sure to check out our session from the archives with the Alialujah Choir. The band's folk flavor and dovetailing vocal harmonies are of a somewhat different pace than the Radiohead cover, but Shearer's delivery manages to be just as moving.

So let the band(s) play on!
