Radiohead - Kid A Vinyl 2LP

Released in 2000, Radiohead's fourth studio album, Kid A, marked a significant departure from the guitar-driven alternative rock of its predecessor, OK Computer. The band embraced electronic music, drawing inspiration from artists like Aphex Twin and Autechre, and incorporated a wider range of instruments including synthesizers and the ondes Martenot. This shift resulted in a minimalist, experimental sound characterized by abstract lyrics, processed vocals, and unconventional song structures. The album was met with a mix of initial confusion and acclaim from critics, with some calling it "commercial suicide." However, Kid A was a commercial success, becoming Radiohead's first number-one album in the US and winning a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. It is now widely regarded as a pivotal and influential album that helped shape the direction of 21st-century rock and electronic music.
