If you like 'Kid A', you might really enjoy 'Amnesiac' -- again, not for everybody. 'OK Computer' is still my favorite, but 'Kid A' is a very fine listen if you are in the mood. If you love this, I bet you might also be a King Crimson fan. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
"Kid A"
I've glommed a good deal of 'recommended music' off these forums and thought I'd return the favor to someone with one of my own.
I got a copy of Radiohead's 'Kid A' a few months back and have to say that this is *easily* one of the best albums I've aquired/listened to in the past 5 years.
From the first song "Everything In It's Right Place", with its mesmerizing layered and shifting keyboards and vocals, this recording sucks you in and won't spit you out until about a half hour after the last song is done. Pardon the cliched descriptives, but they all apply - Haunting, groundbreaking, melodic, fresh, ambient, ethereal....you become awash in its atmosphere. I am in awe of its beauty - in concept, performance and recording quality.
Certainly this will not appeal to everyone, but if you are a fan of ambient/electronic music, more cerebral popular music such as Peter Gabriel (like Security or Passion), just plain into great music and are always looking for something different - you MUST hear this!

Chris
