Radiohead - Kinetic

[silentsoliloquy11]

This and "How I Made My Millions" are 2 of their b-sides I love so much. I would have loved for this to have been on Amnesiac, but, at least it was made. Preferably instead of "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors"

[MyNameIsNeutron]

Does anyone else think this seems to foreshadow the King of Limbs?

[mrrakalanov]

Если я попаду в лимбо, то там будет звучать такая музыка

[Hammercrafter]

the vocal samples sound like tUnE-yArDs...about 8 years before tUnE-yArDs.

It must be really frustrating for these hip young bands, to think they've invented a new pioneering sound...only to realize whatever style they came up with was probably a radiohead b-side 10 years before lol.

[iceinacup]

@Hammercrafter hahahaha

[karlthunderaxe]

@Hammercrafter has it been that long? jesus, i'm getting old.

[PatricktheDoody]

Absolutely hypnotizing... Especially when Thoms vocals first come in...

[SuperiFox]

This reminds me of feral, and it doesn't (or rather, feral reminds me of this)

[cressnaar]

@SuperiFox it does...maybe its the AH sound

[itsachickenwiththing]

I don't really think there's a point to re-releasing this in a new album. My gripes with TKoL is that there are so many songs that only exist in live form, usually from fanshot recordings. I'm mad that I don't have a studio-quality "Present Tense" or "Open the Floodgates". This is studio-quality however, so I could care less what becomes of it.

[denali637]

this is cool. That's totally Miles Runs the Voodoo Down

[RDE45]

Siiiiiiicccckkkkkkk

[adrian14752]

this song couldve made the album king of limbs in my opinion

[Shadow9392]

@adrian14752 Too dense for TKoL, I think.

[cbrooks0905]

I don't think it matters whether or not this song or any of their other brilliant b sides make it to the album. Radiohead shares everything with us. They have their own reasons I'm sure, why they don't put certain songs on the albums. I think that some people look at a b side as a step child or something. B side doesn't mean "not good enough". It just means it didn't fit with the rest. When you put all the b sides together, you get one kick ass album. nuff said.

[andrewjcmillar]

@cbrooks0905 i think for most artists b sides means not good enough but for radiohead its a very different story because of the amazing depth their discography has

[SuperiFox]

@andrewjcmillar Yeah for them, their b-sides are good songs that don't fit the moods of their albums. That's why they reuse some of them (morning mr. magpie, motion picture soundtrack, nude, etc.) for other albums.

[kduddz]

this gives me the chills up my spine lol

[Vurandal01]

Man, this is fucking amazing. Inexplicable, honestly.

[willynillyism]

This and Cuttooth should of been on Amnesiac.

Don't get me wrong, Amnesiac was good but it could of been better.I've always saw "Hunting Bears" as a waste of space.

[michaeldiogenes]

@willynillyism What are you taking about? Considering it's only a minute and a half long, Hunting Bears is some of the most concentrated awesome that Radiohead ever released. This was probably left out because of it's similarity to Crushed like Sardines; Cuttooth was too upbeat for Amnesiac.

[pantapdiazho]

i love that sound that starts at 1:28 and stops at 1:41

[phrapaphone]

i love how to drum loops sound like moving train carts, fits the song perfectly

[jakiner]

i want to listen in my headphones, while walking beside long river, on acid

[PIVOTZ84]

Today, I was listening to this song on iTunes. Once the song was over, everything on my computer totally crashed. I guess that's the greatness of Radiohead :)

[iHowler]

I don't even know who radiohead are. They sound like freaks atm.

[3kekseund1loch]

this song is god

[0008brown8000]

I really love those Bitches Brew samples in this song..

[WeAreEternal1223]

Songs like "Kinetic" and "Like Spinning Plates" just make all the bad everywhere immaterial.

[vonhollen39]

Haha. I love that vuvuzela button.

[PkSage89]

89 likes, 1 dislike...lol, ok, WHOSE THE COCK!?

[cale1981]

futuristic! unique! Radiohead!

[MajorasMaskPro]

You're being took for a ride.

[jackyrena]

I wish that either this or "Worrywort" had closed Kid A. I never liked the way that album ended, and LOATHE the way they reworked Motion Picture Soundtrack. Some songs are just meant to be played on an acoustic guitar (e.g., MPS, True Love Waits). The organ, harp, and lower register sucked all the feeling out of that song. Could be one reason why they never play it live anymore.

[yousuperpussy]

i couldn't disagree with you more. the album version of motion picture soundtrack is a masterpiece. and facts counter opinions.

[GrimeyLimey]

@jackyrena

Personally i have to disagree, i loved the rework, and i thought it was a great way to end what is arguably the greatest ablum of all time. But its great to see someone else just as animated aout radiohead and there music.

[Sudhish86]

@jackyrena, I view Kid A as a story being told. MPS definitely made sense after Morning Bell's progression. I actually thought the acoustic version was incredible myself, but I'm not sure if it works as well as an album part.

[WeAreEternal1223]

@jackyrena Kinetic would be a great way to close an album actually,

not that I really see a problem with MPS.

[alexgillespie1]

you know how to tell just how good a band is? if a song like this dosn't maket the album

[GrimeyLimey]

@alexgillespie1

I agree, dnt forget, 'Talk Show Host' was a B - Side!! Most bands would die for tht as a title track lol

[georgemc25]

So blatantly all Jonny's doing

[oberon61801]

lets all just calm down.

[davestheman83]

2001.

[BuddyWillis]

I waited for you but you never came

[garbaczk]

so fucking good!

[bremen93]

as with every Radiohead song, I know I am unable to receive the full impact of it without passing out. Just amazing

[RaRaBillKaulitz]

You pass out and are suspended in a state of half conciousness, unable to move or speak until the song ends and then you slowly come to and are able to function again. It's awful if you're listening to an album. Or all of their songs on shuffle on an ipod. You'll be out for hours. haha

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

Amazing!!

[Outrjs]

This is definitely one of the best Radiohead songs. Just the sound makes you kind of freaked out but at the same time puts a smile on your face. Thanks for the video and song.

[ammaria57]

Radiohead is the best band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[subzeromind]

Folks... Kid A and Amnesiac were made together. The songs were fit into each CD from a compilation of songs they made. They might have chosen the songs for each using a particurlar method, but to consider Kid A and Amnesiac a separate concept might be too much.

[bluebanshee3]

really great visuals for a radiohead song.  thanks for the upload!

[mancam221]

what album is this song on i have all there albums but im findings songs iv never heard of

please tell mee lol

[subzeromind]

From Pyramid Song Single, it's a "b-side".

[lovemonkey4000]

Sweet video man, suits the song rly well :)

love this song too :D

[alessandroansuini]

amazing

[w00t624]

this wouldve been great on amnesiac

[drryangibbons]

Better than Hunting Bears

[GrowTheCaine]

Accually no i disagree i think it wouldve been better than Life in A Glass House it just got a bit silly for me on the one at the end of the song with the whole woodwinds and horns blareing and honking at the end

[brn20]

Eh? That song is amazing, and I love the woodwinds (it's Humphrey Littleton and his band doing the backing, by the way).

[GrowTheCaine]

i dunno man it just didnt do anything for me i didnt say it was a horrible song i just said it didnt strike my fancy

[Talas32]

definitly, wish it was.

[mouldeck]

i love the fact that this song is unreleased. it makes it even more special.

probably my favorite radiohead song ever

[kapikapikapi]

Maybe, but Amnesiac is entire composition. This would've not fit to Amnesiac.

[GrowTheCaine]

agreed the album was in a set position so it couldnt really be changed very well to fit this song

[robertoshorto]

That's interesting. I've always found Kid A to be more coherent and viewed as an entire piece rather than Amnesiac.

[GrowTheCaine]

Maybe so one sometimes seems to stand out more than others but yeah Kid A followed a set idea so it seems but in Amnesiac they had a lot more cult following then so it may have effected how the music was shaped but all those albums are amazing and i have no complaints they are and will allways be classics

[nicknotjohnny]

i learned at an early age through orchestral music to appreciate the depth and intellect involved in creating. whereas radiohead is far and away my favorite band, step back and see music as simply music, and creativity and intellect regardless of the artist, all music is beautiful.

[useless987]

very cool idea. with a good quality this video would kick ass.

[viciousKev]

this video could give you a stroke

[AdamTrid]

This video I think fits it perfect. Very well done.

[drumguitgab]

listen cuttooth

[ofarevolution441]

their b-sides are amazing!

[gridont]

Great song, really strange arrangment and sounds

[Darthkittyus]

I agree absolutely, Subzero. Great comment. I don't listen to stuff with meaningless lyrics anymore... Radiohead has taught me to listen to provocative music.

[Sillyhoot]

i completely agree... except for sigur ros... cause i don't know what the heck they're saying haha

[OCIRELCNU]

radiohead is 60|}

[K33f4]

Having loved The Bends and OK Computer, i'll admit that i found the stuff from the kid A and Amnesiac period a little intimidating and difficult at first, but it's brilliant.

If you don't like it now, just keep on playing it, it'll grow on you as you get a feel for it

[subzeromind]

It also changes your perception of music in general.  After I finally realized the depth and density of Kid A and Amnesiac I think my standards for what is "Good" music have risen greatly.

[SuperiFox]

@subzeromind Yeah! After listening to radiohead for the first time, i was like this is kinda cool, but i don't get it. Then when it clicked, so much more music felt accessible to me. Really helped developed my tastes.

[45061121]

@subzeromind that's what radiohead did to me too. I'll never forget them for that :)

[osakanone]

@subzeromind Consider playing Yume Nikki or .flow

Most of the music in these obscure little games are only 15 second loops for situations you'll only be in for 30 seconds at a time but there's a supreme depth that is remarkably unsettling.

[Xaulb]

@osakanone Did somebody say Yume Nikki? I loved that game. It's such a memorable experience for me.

[NewYorkMets324]

Shits incredible

[tomiedude00]

more ppl need to check this shit out. song a vid goes well together. both is a artwork.

[rizzledizzleizzle]

I'm just curious as to why the hell they didn't find this as "album material"

It is among my favorite Radiohead songs :]

[Lacatus3007]

the hypnotizing red lights comes down...

[dkvjkhd]

thanks for tripping my balls off

[schaefersmann]

haunting..

[verat]

fave radiohead track ever. nice view <3

[radiofoos]

Sweet!
