nah i think it's more of a band launch thing, I wouldn't expect the album for a bit yet

Interesting, seems the band doesn't have the multitracks for Treefingers... "No multitracks existed for this song..." https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/spotlights/creating-kid-a-mnesia-an-exclusive-look-at-radiohead-s-new-virtual-exhibit

a lot of the time it seems like just good old fashioned laziness

I think a digital release in early February is likely, but a physical release is going to be a looooong way off. Probably late Summer or Fall with how vinyl turnaround is these days, and that's being optimistic.

first will have some really cool, anxious energy to it though

Wow, those drums sound amazing. Tom's a great player, and that's a really new drum sound for Nigel, not nearly as dry and clinical as it usually is. Great song, and really looking forward to this record.

still can't get over how good that alternate Hunting Bears is, god damn

It's from Reddit yeah. Got most of the alternate versions of songs and some neat curiosities/live stuff. Pretty nice compilation of things.

i mean, we've basically had an entire file dump of the whole program at this point, i'm pretty confident in saying there's nothing hidden there

DUSTY to DUSTING DUSTY SEINFELD idk trying to fill the gap here

man this shit is sounding great really wasn't expecting the vibe of Free in the Knowledge, love that this record is seemingly all over the place.

this would be incredible, thank you!

Oh whoaaaa, true alternate versions of these songs? Different vocal takes? Fuck yeah, downloading this ASAP.

I'm absolutely not, but everyone seems to be.

Sure sounds like there's no unreleased music in this game!

Probably just stems mixed together weirdly, messing about with the album tracks, b-sides, and probably the Amnesiae stuff. I sincerely doubt there will be anything wholly unheard or new.

I mean maybe I'm wrong and Kid Amnesiae is the way it is/has those tracks because they just loved the sequencing and flow of it, and they have other stuff they didn't think fit on there that they're stuffing into the game. Or maybe this is a TKOL PART 2 scenario and the REAL other unreleased tracks are the friends we made along the way.

I am not getting my hopes up about there being more unreleased music in this, and I suggest y'all don't either.

... as much as I was ready to be underwhelmed or disappointed by this... it truly fucking rules. It's such an amazingly cohesive piece, and the sequencing is absolutely fucking gorgeous. I've been listening to it on repeat. It's like some weird alternate reality fever dream of Kid A / Amnesiac. LSP and TLW versions are especially fucking compelling. God damn...

In all honesty I was ready to be disappointed by Kid Amnesiae, but... I actually like it a lot. As a cohesive whole, it flows really well, and I love the mood it sets. Taking the tracks individually they're kind of a mess... but as a kind of weird "alternate universe" sonic tapestry of Kid A / Amnesiac sessions, it's a pretty compelling listen. Also those versions of LSP and TLW are actually super fucking good.

From what I've heard today, this has leaked already, but I can't find it anywhere. So maybe that's bullshit.

Follow Me Around has always been the most overrated of the unreleased RH stuff to me, and this is a perfectly serviceable version of a fairly forgettable song. Much more excited for alt TLW/LSP/Fog/Morning Bell

no, no, yes. lol

probably not until the 5th when it's all released tbh

from Reddit, not sure if it's legit or not... could very easily just be educated guesses tbh I've been in contact with someone who knows what some of the Kid Amnesiae songs are. Here's what I know now: Like Spinning Plates (Why Us) is the "dodgy kraftwerk" version of I Will Pulk/Pull TLW Version might be the "tape loop" version of True Love Waits from the OKNOTOK Cassette with the vocal track on! Untitled V2 is Momentum, has an alternate version in the game Morning Bell In The Dark is the Paris version No word yet on any of the other ones, including whether or not there's a large amount of new material in the game.
