    I thought it was very interesting how the went from OK to Kid A. It was like working two different sides of the Prog genre.

    On one hand you had OK Computer which was very much in the complicated, multi-part approach that you would find in bands like Yes or Crimson (not that it sounded like that, i'm talking about approach and song form). Kid A on the other hand was Prog in the same way that Can, or Gong would be considered Prog. One or two simple ideas mutated over the course of a tune. Much more atmospheric.

    Idiotech is also one of the best songs ever. Period.
