The Eric Clapton bbc doco on Friday led me to checking this out, I always remember the iconic cover from my teens but it never really registered as to who it was, stunning line up inc Clapton, Ginger and Steve Winwood. Also a brilliant video on the tube from a 1969 gig in Hyde Park which captures the 60’s vibe…

“Guardian critic Adam Sweeting wrote that “even listeners raised on krautrock or Ornette Coleman will find Kid A a mystifying experience”, and that it pandered to “the worst cliches” about Radiohead’s “relentless miserabilism”.”
It seems incomprehensible today that this record wasn’t revered from the start (at least by Radiohead fans). I’ll admit to initially finding it very difficult, but when I listen to it now, I don’t understand how that was ever the case, and I just love it.

Hypnotic Mancunian post punk… the songs, Ian Curtis’s voice and the band, especially Morris’s drumming sucks you in, no doubt crafted by Martin Hannett’s production on most if not all the tracks… Play this rather good chronology loud.
Enjoying via Qobuz streaming on 96/24 which really allows the tracks to breath.
