Release
The Eraser Rmxs contains nine remixes of eight tracks from Yorke's 2006 solo album The Eraser by various electronica, dubstep, and techno artists.[1][2] The remixes were earlier released in the UK by XL Recordings as three EPs, each comprising three tracks. The EPs were first released as downloads in December 2007,[3][4][5] then on 12" vinyl records in early 2008.[6]
Critical reception
The Resident Advisor critic Daniel Bates said: "These nine reworks presented a chance to make amends, but most of the remixers seem to have fallen into the same habit Yorke did: playing it safe." He raised the remixes of "Harrowdown Hill" and "Analyse".[8] Jory Spadea of Spectrum Culture viewed the album as superfluous and inferior to The Eraser, but said Four Tet's folktronica remix of "Atoms For Peace" possibly outshone the original with its "Radiohead-like climax".[1][8] Ryan Domball of Pitchfork praised the hopeful tone and Burial's remix of "And It Rained All Night", saying "Yorke's voice suits Burial's soupy concoctions just as nicely as those mysterious R&B divas he's usually fond of — if this team ever decided to meet on an LP level, few would oppose."[2]
