Product Description
1998 saw Radiohead perform pop music's most difficult task--their album OK COMPUTER was a critical smash, a worldwide pop hit, and, most importantly, a revolutionary step forward from the edgy, perfectly crafted pop music of their already masterful early efforts. Reintroducing a sense of intellectual adventure into rock music, at times they hearkened back to Pink Floyd, from whose compositional experimentation and epic scale they obviously gleaned a lesson or two. OK COMPUTER's opening track, "Airbag", serves as a starting point for AIRBAG/HOW AM I DRIVING.
The self-proclaimed "mini-album"opens with the stormy "Airbag", whose furious drum loop andemotive vocal build slowly into a guitar-led orchestra, where swirling, ghostly melody lines float and dart, crashing dramatically into the song's recurring musical motif. "A Reminder" sets a gentle, ominous melody against a backdrop of cascading guitar stabs, while "Polyethylene" contrasts pared-down metrical shifts with raging passages full of arena rock swagger. The curious, rambling "Melatonin" features almost no vocals, and the closer "Palo Alto" is chaotic and moody, filled with dynamic hurtles and skittering melody lines.

Customer Reviews
Thank God
OK Computer was one of the best ever compilations of music and this comes close
Right up there
Only a band like Radiohead could afford to leave songs of this quality off a proper album release. A Reminder, Pearly and Polyethylene are 3 of the best songs they've ever recorded.
Radiohead
This EP is a treat for Radiohead fans who feel The bends and Ok computer are the band's best albums.
Apart from Airbag the rest of the tracks are B sides and they feel more like OK computer than The bends. My favorute track is Reminder because of the electric guitars.
Slighty expensive but is worth every penny.
Go ahead and buy it
