Tomas Chlebek Radiohead contributed to the discussion about the way digital music is distributed mainly with the release of the album in Rainbows in 2007, when they offered it to listeners at a price they set themselves; so it was available for free. In the not so distant past, Thom Yorke together with Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's court producer, repeatedly expressed their negative attitude towards streaming services led by Spotify.
In one 2013 interview, Yorke he said: “When we did the In Rainbows thing, the most exciting thing was the idea of a direct connection between you as a musician and your audience. You cut everything out, it's just this and this. And then all these shitheads like Spotify get in the way, suddenly trying to be gatekeepers to the whole process. We don't need you to do that. No artist needs you to do that. We can build it ourselves, so go to hell.'
Yorke thus responded to questions about the reason why he withdrew his solo album and debut from Atoms for Peace from Spotify. This step commented also saying, "The reason for this is that new artists get paid shit with this model... It's an equation that just doesn't work."
A year later, Thom Yorke distributed his second solo album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, via the BitTorrent peer-to-peer network. This approach was very successful, the album was downloaded more than a million times in the first week alone. In this context, it is a rather surprising piece of information that all the aforementioned albums are now available on a single streaming service – Apple Music.
So either the British musician has changed his mind, or Apple Music is impressing him with something. The fact that it is currently the only streaming service offering the given content points more towards the second option. However, its validity is undermined by information about the royalties that Apple Music will pay to artists. You are on probation comparable to royalties from Spotify's free accounts and for paying users, although musicians will receive a slightly larger portion of the total earnings from Apple Music, but these are only percentage units.
Anyway, Yorke's work on Apple Music might be more significant than the albums 1989 by Taylor Swift whether The Chronic by Dr. Dre. As mentioned above, the Radiohead frontman is known for his efforts to find alternative ways of distributing music in digital form.
The title of the article is misleading. Radiohead albums are normally available on all other streaming services Spotify, Rdio etc. These are only Thom Yorke solo albums
These are two Thom Yorke solo albums, one Atoms for Peace album and one Radiohead album. So that the title does not take up the entire paragraph, I rounded it off a bit. But ok then, edited.
But the In Rainbows album isn't there either. Are you using a UK or US account? In the Czech Republic, this album cannot even be bought on the iTunes Store, it is only available in the UK/USA. This album is also available on UK/US Spotify.
All information I can access says that In Rainbows is nowhere to be found on Spotify, viz https://www.google.cz/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=in+rainbows+on+spotify&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=PyeVVfafGs2xcuCChuAB
Admittedly, I did not notice the unavailability on Czech Apple Music/iTunes.
I don't know who it is, but thumbs up for apple from the mind and underground
They should live on the average salary in the Czech Republic for a while and they would immediately kiss Spotify's feet
