Radiohead expand KID A MNESIA with archive material
The label presents KID A MNESIA as a triple album in multiple formats, pairing the two earlier records with a newly compiled third disc. Remote Control Records details the release and identifies XL Recordings and Remote Control Records as the labels.
The third disc, Kid Amnesiae, draws on unearthed material from the Kid A and Amnesiac sessions. It also includes alternate versions and elements of album tracks and B-sides from that material.
The announcement names two recordings from the disc: If You Say the Word is presented as never-before-heard, while Follow Me Around is described as a previously unreleased studio recording.
Radiohead’s Abingdon roots frame the anniversary set
Radiohead came together at Abingdon School in Oxfordshire and developed within the English rock tradition. The five principal members are Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway, as outlined in the BBC Radiohead profile.
That five-piece identity connects the release to the band’s established album-making format. The package places the fourth and fifth studio albums beside a third disc built from the same sessions, linking original records with archival material. The label also links the music to KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION, a digital and analogue universe built from Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood’s original artwork. Nigel Godrich provides the audio design. Epic Games publishes the exhibition for PlayStation 5, PC and Mac.
