Radiohead join in to record 'Help' anniversary album


Radiohead are amongst the bands who will contribute to a new album being put together in aid of War Child. 'Help: A Day in the Life' will mark the 10th anniversary of the 'Help' album in 1995.

The project aims to compile the best bands of this generation and give them one day to record a new piece of music, which War Child will make available on www.warchildmusic.com on September 9. A CD release will follow a few weeks later.

Other bands already confirmed include Gorillaz, Razorlight, The Zutons, Manic Street Preachers, Bloc Party, Hard-Fi, The Coral, Elbow and Maximo Park.

War Child boss Mark Waddington said: "As a music fan, I know what the original 'Help' album meant and as the present CEO of War Child I know what it achieved. It was my intention that any new album we made in 2005 should match up to the feats of the past. That's why we have set ourselves the challenge of remaking history and releasing the fastest album ever again! It's a tall order but we feel with the support of amazing artists we can make it happen and help a new generation of children affected by war."

War Child was launched in 1993 as a response to the affect of the Balkans conflict on children. In 1995, 20 of the UK's bands and artists went into studios across Europe to each produce a track for 'Help', the fastest-ever number one album in British music history.

Je pensais que j'allais être le premier à annoncer cette très bonne nouvelle !  :'(

Alors, on lance les paris ? Quelle chanson pourrait apparaître sur cet album ?  :think:

arpeggi? :think:

Lukewarm:
Un peu atmosphérique pour une compil' non ?

Et pourquoi pas une de ces "chansons de scène" ?

- True Love Waits  :yerk:
- Big Ideas  :love:  
- Big Boots  :sarcastic:

Je sais, je sais : c'est peu probable, mais bon... Vu qu'ils sont sensés les enregistrer en un ou deux jours, il joueront certainement une chanson qu'ils maîtrisent bien !

Pourvu que ce soit du niveau de lucky :love:
