It’s hard to imagine a world today without Kid A. In October of 2000, the incorporation of sampling, synthesizers and computers in rock music was anything but commonplace. Radiohead took a giant leap on the heels of their most successful album to date and dove head first into IDM, techno and ambient music. Many fans were initially dumbfounded, but an entire generation of future musicians took inspiration from their bold dismissal of traditional rock instrumentation and arrangement. Recording sessions nearly dissolved the band; with Thom Yorke insisting that guitar and drums had no place on certain tracks, the band members were forced to reinvent their roles in the group, instead focusing on vocoder, modular synths, ondes martenot and sound processing. The few instances of straight-ahead rock (“Optimistic,” “National Anthem”) are some of the best pieces in their oeuvre, but the more experimental tracks (“Everything In It’s Right Place,” “Idioteque,” the title track) are by far the most potent. “Idioteque” remains a deadly peak-time tool in techno and electro sets to this day. Previously only available on vinyl as a double 10" set, this is the first time Kid A has been released on full sized 12" LPs (and don’t miss Kid A’s criminally-underrated companion piece, Amnesiac, also reissued on double 12"). The album comes in the same original gatefold sleeve with artwork by Stanley Donwood and Tchock (Thom Yorke).
