Radiohead, “In Rainbows” (ATO)
The industry-shaking tactics of this album’s release tended to obscure its quality, which found the brooding U.K. band at its most accessible and honed since 1997’s “OK Computer.” It was available via name-your-price download from October to December and is now on proper CD.
Various artists, “Elvis: Viva Las Vegas” (BMG)
This fall ABC special celebrated the King’s years on the Strip. The soundtrack features remastered originals and covers by Bruce Springsteen, Faith Hill, Chris Isaak and others.
Vanessa Paradis, “Divinidylle” (Universal France)
The enhanced version of this actress/singer’s most recent album features a CD-ROM track and collaborations with Patrice Renson, Oliver Lude and Albin de la Simone.
