We’re quite partial to the album version of “Brimful of Asha,” but there’s no doubt that it would have languished in obscurity if not for Fatboy Slim’s remix. It’s not the only Radiohead track improved by an external remix – see also “Skttrbrn,” the Four Tet remix of Hail to the Thief‘s “Scatterbrain” that we discussed a couple of weeks back.Ĭornershop – “Brimful of Asha” (Fatboy Slim remix) The remixed version made its way onto the soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet and also into the band’s live setlist.
