It was recorded around the same time as Kid A but this one is far more endearing. A Glasshouse incorporates some rather fine trumpet. Unlike it s predecessor, there has already been a single released and the top ten charting Pyramid Song showed the band at their moody best. Yorke s voice is still hugely powerful in it s vulnerability, ably assisted by a band with equally subtle sensitivities. Intriguing, fascinating, thoroughly imaginative yet no immediate fix.
Tracks run backwards, thoughts run sideways, the result advances obliquely.
The best of Amnesiac and Kid A show why this band are seen in such high regard, but two such abstract albums should really have been joined at the hip from the start. One dysfunctional family with a split personality. In A Crushd Tin Box 2. Pyramid Song 3. I Might Be Wrong 6.
