Episode 30: The Album Is Dead: Radiohead 'Kid A'

This week we're celebrating the release of Radiohead's groundbreaking album 'Kid A', released in 2000 the album redefined the band and is often viewed as a 10/10 masterpiece. The band have just revisited the album with their KID A MNESIA release which acknowledges both 'Kid A' and 2021's 'Amnesiac' placing them together on one album with a load of B-Sides, alternative versions and rarities!
'Kid A' produced by long term collaborator and 'sixth member' Nigel Godrich brings the bands more electronic elements to the forefront with glitchy beeps and blips over acoustic instrumentation, a process which allowed the band to develop a new way of recording and making music going forward.
