Track name: Nude
Original genre: Rock/Pop
Prizes: No prizes! (Quote: radioheadremix.com is not a competition. The most voted for mixes will not automatically be awarded prizes. The ten most voted for mixes will appear automatically on the home page of radioheadremix.com.)
Other: While Radiohead offered their album at a price that listeners could decide they now sell the stems for this remix contest at a fixed price on iTunes. Each stem costs the iTunes price for a single track. Thus most people in Europe pay 0.99 EUR and people in the US pay 0.99 USD per stem. That actually means that European remixers have to pay approximately 3.40 USD more than US musicians if they want to have all the stems and the original track. Amongst other things the official terms and conditions state that remixers will lose their writers’ credits to the band members of Radiohead. BPM is 63, Time Signature is 6/8 and Key is C Sharp Minor.
