- The unedited video of this listening/reaction/analysis experience with all the music was a'BLOCKED by the 'Tubes....and now I am disappearing completely into Radiohead and all their delicious chord tensions and angelic vocals and anxiety-inducing lyrics and whale-song strings and angry baby robots...I was a lot more familiar with Kid A than Amnesiac coming into this but I'll be spending more time with both now.

"When are they going to write a filmscore?" ... Jonny G big mad after hearing that lol
and thom’s score to SUSPIRIA is incredible.
lol woops. I have homework.
@@iximusic It would be sooo cool if you covered some of their filmscore stuff. Listen to House Of Woodcock and tell me it's not worth it's own analysis.
Just dropped in to make sure these comments were made. As you were.
On a similar note, they also wrote a great Bond theme that was never used.
1:45 - "They have such a way of making you feel this incredible sense of dread...and anxiety..."
Me: "I never feel like that"
1:56 - "... without you realising it"
Me: "oh..."
Easily one of the greatest musical acts of our time. Every single band member brings amazing elements to the songs. Thom's vocals just add an element that doesn't feel simulated like so many singers, even the best ones whom I admire. Ridiculously unique.
and how!!!
“How to disappear into strings” was the best way to end those bonus tracks. So good.
Pulk/Pull True Love Waits sounds like a demented version of the moon shaped pool version. I love how creepy it sounds.
I suspect pulk/pull revolving doors was the result of a treatment on True Love Waits, but then Radiohead decided TLW didnt belong on the album, but the treatment did. So we ended up with two songs out of it.
I love that they don't mind screwing around / experimenting with songs for long periods of time and actually share various results. So we have three versions of Morning Bell now? Two on consecutive album releases and then this dark version. There must be many good references for this (stripping Videotape from the anthemic arrangement to make it a syncopated, minimalist masterpiece, and working on Nude for ten years before releasing it are two that come to mind immediately).
Regarding soundtracks, I recently saw a good video on when/why Radiohead songs get featured in shows and films ("The Radiohead Effect" by Fandor) and you must already know the Penderecki arc of Jonny's musical development leading to absolutely amazing scores for films like There Will be Blood. I was also delighted to unexpectedly hear "Morning Mr. Magpie" at the beginning of Mr Mercedes S01E07 "Willow Lake." Music is used effectively in this season, and this one made me so happy to hear!
"How to disappear into strings", an overwhelming and beautiful masterpiece. The original song took a second life with this.
I think both the "strings" tracks are merely the string parts FOR the songs referenced, without the rest of the track. They really do stand on their own--esp. "How to Disappear Completely," which is just an incredibly beautiful, haunting string part...
I’m pretty sure Pulk/Pull (True Love Waits version) was an actual attempt at recording True Love Waits back in 1999/2000, and then they ended up turning it into Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors and saving True Love Waits.
Yes
Your initial reaction to if you say the word starting was my exact ah yes Radiohead moment
Fun fact: "If You Say The Word" was referred to as "C-Minor Song" by Ed in his diary and was referred to by fans for years. Listening to Thom's guitar part...we now know why.
Oh that's lovely.
Wow kinda crazy...I had been listening to Like Spinning Plates (Why Us Version) and was like "Hey, that sounds like Zeppelin a bit, and even thought to myself the specific Zep track that it especially reminded me of and I realized it was Robert Plant's "wavering" vocals at the end of Four Sticks. Anyway, I was surprised to hear u make the same connection so wanted to comment! Yayyyy
You really do a wonderful job of explaining what is beautiful about Radiohead's songs to someone like me who has a more shallow grasp of theory but also loves them deeply. Subscribed!
Ditto she is awesome.
Aw thank you! Btw if you have the space on your hard drive I analyzed all of In Rainbows live, which is now blocked from UA-cam but downloadable from Google Drive: drive.google.com/file/d/1yFdpS-TEbRBl6SiQTR5-Gm0-7LwvudVK/view?usp=sharing
@@iximusic I am so glad I noticed this comment! In Rainbows is my favorite!
Follow me Around is a very old song that was never recorded but played live on the 'Meeting People is Easy' documentary. A fan favourite. Good to see it finally emerge from the recording studio
Wow, never heard it!
And that documentary is from 1998. Took only 23 years for a proper studio release.
@@hoagieimpact9189 yeah..we had to wait a verry long time. Funnily enough, the director of that documentary, Grant Gee, goes to the same local supermarket as me. I saw him only the other day in the cereal aisle!
Because of your interest in Nine Inch Nails, Bjork and Radiohead, I suspect you would enjoy Aphex Twin's song, Kesson Daslef. It's a simple beautiful piano piece with expressive chords. I think it'd be worth your time to hear it.
I have a pretty sketchy handle on music theory even though I am 57 and listened to a lot of prog over the years but I love Radiohead even more than NIN and I love your videos and you seem like such a cool person as well.
You are simply THE best analytical music person I have happened across. Just amazing, the detail and knowledge you put into your videos. I am SO glad i get to listen to people such as yourself, really open up and untangle some really complicated pieces of music. I look forward to every one :)
Aw thank you for the kind words!
Thom cannot finish True Love Waits. Something about it nags at him.
The string version of how to disappear is like a Radiohead lesson on "what does Jonny bring to the band?"
I wonder if it’s because the song means a lot to him. Resulting in not feeling like he can capture all of its importance in just one iteration.
@@themonkeandthesnek9997 i think he feels that way about Bloom, but his endless toying with True Love Waits strikes me as he's trying to find it. The pre-MSP live version was great, then he pulled every chord apart for MSP which felt like an intellectual exercise searching for something to work better, then just throwing the lyrics here onto a completely different bit of music.
Adding: part of the reason I feel this way is that I once heard Nigel disparage that live version, and since then, Thom's acted like he agrees.
@@themonkeandthesnek9997 100% he put strings arrangement here bcuz that song was made when he was near death
True Love Waits is already finished wdym? This Pull/Pulk Version was made during the Kid A sessions (obviously), that's how Pull/Pulk was born, this was first.
The AMSP is the final (and best) version.
That was so awesome. Thank you for doing! I met and hung out with Thom & the band after their OK Computer show in Minneapolis on 8/5/97. Thom was so sweet and generous to me, signed a bunch of stuff for me. I was in the front row / sport for the show. It was the most amazing concert experience in my life and spending time with Thom after was a massive bonus.
True Love Waits has been around since the 90s
Lots of attempts to put it onto an album until they finally settled for AMSP
True Love Waits version is the original version of Pulk Pull
And true music waits, I suppose!
*"Like Spinning Plates"* live version off of *"I Might Be Wrong 2001 (live concert) album",* sounds like a cleaner version, a fave of mine (cramps my hand on guitar lol):
*Like Spinning Plates (Live)* - ua-cam.com/video/LnIHVvEwbLk/v-deo.html
the keyboard tone on 'Unititled' (the second song) sounded like the start of 'In Limbo'
You're right about that like spinning plates version being easy on the piano. A similar version was on their I might be wrong album and was one of the first piano songs I learned to play
Ditto. When I started getting serious about playing it was the first thing I learned. That and the charlie brown theme which was significantly harder lol. But spinning plates is way easier than it sounds, and so fun to play.
I absolutely adore your videos and your analysis of the music just enhances all the emotions that the music triggers. You also have me laughing and shouting yes in agreement, more more more please.
"follow me around" was written back in 97/98 in response to experiencing the paparazzi,fans and media after "ok computer" dropped!! 🤪
The original had only 3 verses. And as they pulled it out they either changed or added verses. This version seems to have all the added verses but 1.
It was my favourite song off Amnesiac, and I didn't think it was possible to improve 'Like Spinning Plates', but I should never have doubted the greatest band on earth.
But Thom is a reasonable man; get off his case 😄
haha! Nice one ;)
JG has just scored the film 'Spencer'. The film and his soundtrack are getting high praise.
Is that the one about Princess Diana? I need to look into his work.
I've watched so many of your NiN videos so was SO glad when this video popped up when searching for videos of reactions & reviews of this incredible record.
I just knew you'd get it, and you didn't disappoint! You really really got it!
There were so many tracks on here that just made me want to cry. I'd heard so many different poorly ripped cuts of some of these tracks (like Fog and True Love Waits) growing up in the Limewire age, that hearing these differing versions of some of those same songs with a proper mix just grabbed my little heart strings and dragged them away.
Hi Ixi,
I just wanted to say I recently stumbled on your channel, and it's been really interesting and informative watching your videos. Kid A and The Fragile are the two big formative albums of my teenage years, my first real 'wow, music can be so much more than simple entertainment' moments, and really mean a lot to me. I don't have any formal musical training, so having these songs broken down and analyzed by someone who has that education and insight has given me even more of an appreciation for them. I like learning about how things work, and music is something that's always been important to me, but I never really got an opportunity to dig deeper into why some things, some structures and compositions work, why others don't, and why certain moments in songs have that emotional impact. So thanks for doing what you do, I think it is really cool and look forward to learning more and hearing more of your original compositions as well, which are really haunting and beautiful.
So musical, and deeply interesting..... if not geekishly Radiohead informed! Thanks for posting this appreciation.
Untitled V1 contains the same bell that seems to get sampled/manipulated in Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors.
Love seeing how passionate you are towards the music…regarding if you say the word, its one of the most beautiful vocals by thom yorke for me. Incredible how such a gem was left as an offcut. Regarding follow me around, its more alice in chains rather then nirvana 😉 how to disappear into strings is so so so so so so beautiful. Radiohead are so unique, in a world of their own, so beautiful.
In Like Spinning Plates Thom actually sang the lyrics backwards (apart from the chorus). I believe we got a snippet of that
That song from AMSP was definitely Desert Island DIsk. Love your channel IXI. Keep it up!
That's it, thank you!
Like spinning plates = I will backwards
Don't know how I missed that but YES. SO cool! thank you!
"also spinning plates was written about the soldiers getting sent off to war while politicians "make pretty speeches and "I will" was written for " the civilian casualties of war!! 👍😊
In case you didn’t notice, all the tracks are connected, (especially pull Pulk true love waits and the following untitled) and run into each other. Still wish the had included the released b sides. But still.
I've not heard this new assortment of arrangements fully yet but I'm very familiar with both Kid A and Amnesiac. Thank you for sharing your trained views on it. Made me realise how strong and characterful their use of minor keys is... and also, I must say, really beautiful evocative descriptions of the feel of some songs - 'passing an orchestra in a time machine' ... yeah :D
I feel all these comments in the music, transfixed to another place, but I don't understand them. I love how you define them.
They have a way to bring up all of those real and painful emotions in the most heart twisting yet comforting way.
Follow Me Around has been ‘around’ since just after Ok Computer. It was filmed on a DVD they released just after. It’s one of those Thom got depressed and wrote something things like How to Disappear. Therefore, I like it.
I said the 2nd song sounded like it had the Kid-A voice effect in it yesterday and my buddy I was listening to it with said he didn't hear it. I feel validated!
I think you're likely correct that Like Spinning Plates would be fairly straightforward to learn for most people. Would be interesting to hear some different takes on it.
Follow Me Around has major Go To Sleep from Hail To the Thief vibes, imo. Maybe kinda.
I never heard about harmony, (my field is far far from music) but I can tell you that I m very sensitive to the melodies, and this new album, I find is as good as Ok computer. Love the way you analyze the songs!
The "You know what I meaaaaan" song is Desert Island Disk! :D
I LOVE RADIOHEAD
Love your videos. Your brilliant!!!
Johnny's written several film scores for Paul Thomas Anderson, actually:)
Thanks for your passion!
great break down! thats untiteld is from amnesiac...an other version of pulk pull . and fog is way way older than from 2019. they brought it out on knives out single some where around 2001. the original is all electronica. the original version is a master piece go and isten to it.....check also worrywort on the same single. the greatest band in the universe without a shadow of a doubt.....imo of course!
Hello ixi, I really enjoyed this video. You mentioned how much you liked Untitled Parts 1, 2 and 3. I have a theory about how they came to be. Check out the UA-cam clip in the link below. It is Radiohead’s National Anthem with only the noises and sound effects - no singing, guitars, drums or bass. I think Untitled Parts 1, 2 & 3 were the beginnings or experiments with background noises like the National Anthem below. Actually, you can hear elements of some of the tracks (like you pointed) out in Kid A for example. That’s just my theory. Regardless, they are really great listening. Often when I’m listening to Radiohead tracks, my ears are straining to hear all of that stuff that’s whirring around in the background. I think that’s one of the main reasons why I love Radiohead and why they are so great. Anyway, I love your channel. Your taste in music aligns very closely with my own. Keep up the great work.
ua-cam.com/video/T-ZVlcEmARg/v-deo.html&start_radio=1
Cried quite i few time while watching this video...
Great insights! It will make me appreciate my first listening even more!
A recommendation for you, I am big Radiohead fan aswell so I believe you would love Porcupine Tree. The song is called Collapse the light into Earth. Try that first and see if you like it :)
Your my new favourite music channel. Your awesome!
I just discovered this channel omg great taste and analysis. Do you like bjork or depeche mode too¿ thanks a lot. Keep up
Some of the sounds in the b side untitled, when you said it sounds like an angry robot… some of those sounds remind me of parts of NIN’s Things Falling Apart
18 seconds in and I’m subscribing! Love it
ixi thank you for having the best taste in music! 🖤
Loved this video. Exactly my thoughts / feelings
They wrote a film score for the opening of Spectre (James Bond series) but it was replaced.
Fog was on the Knives Out single (2001)🙂
And Fog (Again) was on the Com Lag EP (2004).
Thank you Radiohead for reminding the world of what music really is, again. Thank you Ixi for reviewing the album so wonderfully.
it'd be so cool to see you do the kid a mnesia video game walkthough
I love this, thank you
Pyramid Song is shaped like a pyramid. The shape of the sound... The 3 basic chords.. Do you see musical shapes? Kinda abstract concept. Elliott Smith talked about it in a song writing tutorial. Musical sequences.
Pyramid strings are the same sound that plays very subtly during pyramid song. I recognize it from the actual song. Also of you listen to any of their most recent performances of pyramid song live johnny Greenwood plays the pyramid strings on his guitar with a violin bow.. It's a pretty interesting effect.
@@chrissteiger4199 Yeah, both Strings tracks are literally just stems. Heard a million times in the original tracks before but now they're isolated.
21:28 I see what you did there ^^ How To Disappear Into Strings is so beautiful, the new song "If You Say The Word" too. For some reason Spotify recommended me "The Daily Mail" and now I think it's one of the best songs Radiohead ever did, at least at has a cool climax. Feel free to take a listen!
Kid a is the best for me. Thanks for your content. Like it 😆😆😍😍
This soundtrack not in a movie, but in a video game KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION
I'm going to try to play it this weekend! Have you?
@@iximusic I watched a gameplay on UA-cam
You have to play Kid A Mnesia Exhibition!
I curated a playlist, on Spotify, that contains everything from this era. I don't know if I can post a Spotify link here, but you can look it up if you want. It's called "Radiohead - Kid A/mnesiac". It has 41 songs, and I took a lot of time putting it together; more than a year, in anticipation of a 20th anniversary of Kid A and Amnesiac. It's also available on UA-cam.
Also, thank you, ixi!
ua-cam.com/play/PLm_4HmFGM4zCUXpIzToPHvVmEiJZaVUi_.html Here's the UA-cam link.
An entire year to add two albums and some b-sides to a playlist? LMAO
@@fyootb9482 No. A year, on and off, of listening and making adjustments. The goal is to make a playlist that flows well. The amount of material before Kid Amnesia was released is incredibly dense and plentiful; 31 songs to siffed through. It's actually a tougher challenge than one might think.
@@fyootb9482 41 after Friday, btw.
You should check it out, and share some thoughts, if you're into this era of Radiohead 😀
If you want a version of "Fog" that goes on longer, definitely check out the vanilla version.
This was fascinating 👏 ! I am a new subscriber & left a big 👍 - 🎹
GOD THIS BAND IS FUCKING PHENOMENAL
Ah yes Radiohead. A young and promising band. Gotta keep my eye on them. Thom Yorke did the soundtrack for the Susperia remake fyi Ixi
Gotta take a listen, thank you! I heard the track Suspririum but didn't realize he scored the whole film!
@@iximusic I would say watch the movie for maximum impact. It’s pretty good. I liked it
Pyramid Strings honestly feels like it could be in Junji Itos uzumaki which feels scary but a really cool track. Alt Fast to me sounds like a full on horrifying nightmare, again scary but still a really cool track. All the untitled tracks are neat too, I love em. I think How to Disappear Into Strings is my favorite, it’s really beautiful. First time listening to it was when I was in my work break room alone, early in the morning and i kinda almost cried ngl
very beautiful well done
ive just started referring to the new version as “true love waits freestyle”
Watch the official video to “If you say the word.” It’s a masterpiece x
Incredible idea for a music video
I will watch soon!
Isn't it "harpies in the branches"?
spinning plates is fun to listen to backwards… the backwards bits the normal way round are so simple
Two of my favorites. Wow
You should listen to Thom Yorke's soundtrack for the film Suspiria (2018)
I should, I shall! Thank you.
Alt/Fast track sounds like Transatlantic Drawl
I don’t fully understand it, but it feels like unknown, forbidden kinda, beauty. It feels like.. something I can’t describe
Edit: after watching more, they have different vibes, I might try to timestamp and describe some
you're such an engaging person
Speaking of Radiohead, you should do one bit on The Daily Mail...
PLEASE do a video on "How to disappear completely."
The lyrics for If You Say The Word are so good
I love Fog, If you say the word, Follow me around and How to disappear into strings
I see what you did there with the EarthQuaker Devices Spatial Delivery bedsheet
Makes me think of how Pete Townsend was ahead of his time.
Wholeheartedly agree with the minor chords. Something about it draws one in. Probably we are drawn to Radiohead.
Follow Me Around was written during the OK Computer tour. It was played sparsely on and off until about 2003 I think? Anyways, on the Meeting People is Easy documentary, you see the band jamming to this song, with drums, bass and all that jazz. It's such a great version, that IMO, should have been released close to that. But hey, I'm not Radiohead.
Your piano playing is beautiful, thanks for the review.
Thank you, so glad you liked it!
13:05 That was me on the bus when I first heard the song.
I like this album. Love Radiohead.
Now I want to see you play Idioteque chords
So there are people like me out there after all!!!
Have you reviewed "Just Like you Imagined" by NIN?
Thank for the sub! :D I have! It was one of my first videos. Warning: I am wearing purple lipstick ua-cam.com/video/hc_vI2aC08E/v-deo.html
of course Jonny Greenwood HAS scored several movies...
Check out the 2 last albums by the horrors or is that not 90’s enough?
Jonny greenwood has composed many film scores!! Where have u been? Lol check out Jonny greenwood's work with Paul w. Anderson!! There will be blood, phantom thread etc. Also Thom just scored his first film with "suspiria"!! I gave u some homework! ❤️❤️
Woosh, I need to dig into his work!
@@iximusic "the prospector's arrive" by Jonny greenwood for the "there will be blood " score! 😄👍
