One of the best Radiohead songs you've never heard. I don't think the instrumentals, i.e. this and Treefingers, get nearly enough attention, or respect. While they improve most Radiohead tracks to no end, a song really doesn't need lyrics to be amazing, and sometimes instrumental is the only way to go. I think they're brilliant.
My jaw hit the floor when I discovered this tune in college. It also sounds like it could have been from Amnesiac, which was two albums later. In retrospect, Airbag EP seemed fortuitous of things to come, even more so than OK Computer itself.
i felt embarrassed even looking up this track, like i'm looking in the aisle for this track amongst the crowded masses. i miss the days of trying to find music.
I think he's not singing for our safety. Y'know? 'coz if it sang, there would be a few casualties from the amount of awesome the song would radiate...potentially dangerous.
@SirenWren I agree. Some people might find this sinful to say, but Kid A is my favorite album of theirs. I like all the experimentation on it. Plus you can boogie to some of the songs.
That's hardly sinful. I love all of their albums. Every one after Pablo Honey really does it's own thing, and after The Bends they really found their niche in my opinion. Each album has it's own feel. Everyone always looks at me cross-wise when I tell them that my favorite is Hail to the Thief, though
I'm a huge Radiohead fan and I was shocked that I never knew about this CD. This song is by far the most awesome song I've heard in awhile. I can play this song on repeat for hours...no days! Thanks for sharing!
when I was 2 years old, I used to dance around the apartment to this song :) My parents got it on video. I was an awesome toddler I guess
