Radiohead – Idioteque (BBC Version)
Posted by Charlie Goodvibes on September 27th, 2009Okay, not wholly a remix, but I wouldn’t expect any offering from Radiohead to sound exactly like the album version, and this song does not disappoint.
I have a confession to make…I don’t really like Radiohead. I never got into their music, and Kid A was the only album I owned. I liked it well enough, but I guess I never really understood the “hype” surrounding Radiohead. Considering I have generally awful taste in music, this opinion should not be treated as dogma, by any means.
Idioteque was, and still is, my favourite song on the album, but a part of me actually likes this version better. There’s something a bit more haunting about it, which is always something I admired in the songs on Kid A. Definitely worth a listen, even if this YouTube version does miss the last 3 seconds:
