Radiohead have teamed-up with Apple's iTunes Store to offer fans another chance to remix one of their tracks, this time the track Reckoner from the recent In Rainbows album.
The band told Distorted Loop they'd elected to launch the second remix event because the first such event had been so very succesful.
If you want to remix a track you can purchase the stems of the track from iTunes. Stems include bass, lead vocal, backing vocals, guitars, piano/strings and drums. All six stems will be available to buy for the price of a single track, the band said.
Fans can mix the stems in any way they like, either by adding their own beats and instrumentation, or just remixing the original parts, the report claims
Fans who purchase the ‘stems’ from iTunes during the first two weeks they're available, will be sent an access code to a GarageBand file.
Finished mixes can be uploaded to the band's dedicated site where the public can listen to and vote for mixes.

Good job they're only charging the price for 1 track this time, cos I believe the last time they did it you had to buy all stems separately.
Still streets behind NIN when it comes to this stuff though.

I have to say this was a lot of fun. Check out my take.
