Thom Yorke off of the Radioheads and Robert Del Naja from that Massive Attack yesterday unveiled the soundtrack they’ve made for ‘UK Gold’, by which we mean the documentary on tax avoidance that aired on London Live last night, rather than the defunct repeats telly channel. The recording of the two men’s twelve track score also features contributions from fellow Radioheader Jonny Greenwood, Elbow’s Guy Garvey and Euan Dickinson.

It accompanies a Mark Donne-directed documentary exploring the history of tax avoidance, a topic on which Yorke told the NME: “For all the current Government’s talk of standards in the financial industry it comes as no surprise perhaps that the reality beneath reveals their staggering hypocrisy”.

He went on: “Now is the time to reveal the revolving doors between government and the City that has bred lies and corruption for so long, siphoning money through our tax havens for the global super rich, while now preaching that we the people must pay our taxes and suffer austerity. Just who does our government work for?”

You can watch the documentary on the London Live website here, and check out the soundtrack on its own on the UK Uncut site here.
