![]() ![]() ![]() More importantly, Kid A is my favourite album ever. ![]() I’ve seen them live twice over the course of my life: on the first night of their European tour for In Rainbows at Malahide Castle in Dublin in 2008 ( You and Whose Army and How to Disappear Completely – something which gets a big pop at Irish shows for its River Liffey inclusion – as well as Paranoid Android from OK Computer live long from that night) and the second being at The O2 in London in 2012. And then of course came “the final annihilation” in Yorke’s words: the pandemic.īut Radiohead intended to go hard in celebrating two albums that give context to one another thanks to the re-release of both albums with the release of Kid Amnesia, which featured both as a double album for the first time (something O’Brien said to MTV the band avoided doing at the time for being “too dense”) as well as an album’s worth of new material, as well as the launch of a virtual exhibition of what was intended to be the intended physical exhibition that was built up over the course of two years from Yorke, Donwood and long-time producer Nigel Godrich plus developers Namethemachine and Arbitrarily Good Productions as well as Epic Games Publishing.Ĭards on the table: I am a huge Radiohead fan. But amid various politics and circumstances, that wouldn’t happen. “You would have to do it like an art installation.”Ģ0 years since O’Brien gave that quote, the band have actually gone and done that to celebrate Kid A as well as Amnesiac, both albums coming from the same recording sessions between 19 that “cancel each other out as overall finished things” according to frontman Thom Yorke, as part of celebrating respective anniversaries (Kid A released 21 years ago last month while Amnesiac celebrated 20 years back in June).Īs Yorke and established Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood said in a PlayStation Blog post last week, the installation was meant to be a physical thing that would reside in London but with the possibility of travelling all over the world. “You couldn’t do Kid A live and be true to the record,” said O’Brien. In a Rolling Stone interview to promote its tour to promote its then latest album Amnesiac in June 2001, Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien said in order to have to perform Kid A – the album that had come out less than a year earlier to much antcipation only for reaction to be, to be polite, mixed when it wasn’t quite OK Computer 2 – it would have to be significantly different to what the band released nine months earlier in October 2000. ![]()
