Radiohead – Kid A

Label:  XL Recordings

Released:        2022 (Reissue)

Fom OK Computer, the perfect soundtrack of the angst brought upon by the end of a millennium to this… Kid A.

The first track on this album pleads, attempts to appease that we need to have Everything In Its Right Place!!!, those expecting OK Computer 2 (this record store owner being one) were left with the feeling that everything was in fact not anywhere near its right place. We kept listening, through weird rhythms horns, and dark lyrics and we were glad we did it.

Multiple classics, genre defining albums, industry challenging release models, solo albums and BBC orchestra conducting gigs, it was all to come… how wrong we were not to be optimistic and how right they were the right place was here all along.
