KID A won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. It was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award in the categories of Album Of The Year and Best Engineered Album.
This limited edition of KID A comes as a enlarged digipack book designed by Stanley and Tchock.
1997's OK COMPUTER turned the rock world on its ear by bringing visionary neo-prog rock touches to a Britpop format. Consequently, KID A was one of the most anticipated releases of its era, especially since Nigel Godrich, the man behind the mixing desk for the previous album, was again on hand for this outing.
On KID A, Thom Yorke's passionate wailing is put through the aural wringer, and the band's previous nimbly orchestrated full-frontal sonic assault is replaced by full-frontal electric piano, to iconoclastic effect. The ambient underpinnings and garbled vocals of "Everything in Its Right Place," and the instrumental "Treefingers," the electronic beats of "Idioteque," and Yorke's processed voice on the title track will come as quite a shock to diehard '70s rockers who spent the late '90s deifying Radiohead as heirs to the Pink Floyd throne. But these touches work brilliantly, while the more organic elements, such as the jazzy horn section on "The National Anthem," and the comparatively conservative arrangement (though there's some unsettlingly atonal orchestration lurking here, too) of "How to Disappear Completely" provide a counterpoint to all this incipient modernism.
1997's OK COMPUTER turned the rock world on its ear by bringing visionary neo-prog rock touches to a Britpop format. Consequently, KID A was one of the most anticipated releases of its era. This limited edition comes in a fine, rigid, oversized high-quality glossy paginated format, with artwork by the same hand as the regular edition, and with speculative philosophical jottings heading each page. No secret booklet, though.
Includes a 28-page booklet.

Radiohead rebound from one-hit wonder status with this sophomore classic--the first to blueprint their operatic sonics.
On only their second outing Oxford's Radiohead fulfilled their huge potential, fashioning an album whose relentlessly downbeat tone was offset by an ability to formulate consistently winning melodies. The title track and "Just" throw some customary rock poses, but for the most part the band displayed a far more expansive ...

Based in Denton, Texas, Record Hop is a band rooted in the underground rock/noise sounds of the 1980s and 1990s. They played their first show in the winter of 2002 and have released two albums and toured the midwest and Texas. Record Hop's most recent musical release is an eponymous 10 song document of their time spent recording at Chicago’s Electrical Audio with Steve Albini. This session marks the studio debut of long time friend Tony Wann on the drums.Music: Written and Performed by Record HopMusicians: Ashley Cromeens - Guitar, VocalsScott Porter - GuitarTony Wann - DrumsCory Ward - BassOther info: -Recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago, IL by Steve Albini-Mixed at the Echo Lab in Argyle, TX by Justin Collins-"Maths" mixed by John Congelton-Mastered at Chicago Mastering Service in Chicago, IL by Bob Weston-Cover art by Nevada Hill-Insert art by Tony WannReviews************from Paste Magazine"Signs of Life 2008: Best Music Scene - Denton, Texas"By Dave Sims on November 21, 2008Ashley Cromeens’ menacing feminine howl creates a subversive tension with the rhythm section’s low-end ballast.

Rather, the deal was struck with unassuming Shellac frontman and Chicago-based underground music icon Steve Albini (Pixies, Nirvana).Albini's recording techniques ...

IN THE MAELSTROM is the music of Kevin Karlstrom. Born in a small town in northern British Columbia, Canada, Kevin left home at 15. Still a young man he began a solo journey that took him around the world to more than twenty-five countries. It was a journey that grounded him in his desire to create music. A college music major on his return from his travels, Kevin felt a need to make up for lost time. He threw himself headlong into his studies.“I became enthralled with 19th century art song composers, especially Franz Schubert.” says Karlstrom. “Schubert's cycles, especially Winterreise had a deep effect on me. The songs are so beautiful, powerful and dramatic, yet so tortured.”Like many of his early musical influences, the music of IN THE MAELSTROM really deals with the human heart at its most exposed. And like the name suggests, it will sweep you into an intense musical maelstrom of orchestrated rock, and seize you on a visceral level. The layered orchestral textures and contrapuntal choral arrangements punctuated with heavy guitars draws few comparisons in popular music today and can best be described in word: epic. It is music that has been stretched far beyond rock’s traditional four-piece instrumentation.Potent, dynamic, compelling—the music wills beauty from life’s heartbreak and tragedy. "I think like a lot of artists, that songs are a kind of catharsis for me. Most of my songs are somewhat autobiographical. I lost my brother in a motorcycle accident almost eight years ago. Songs like "The Dream Awakes", and "All Things Must Meet the Sea" are about that loss and separation. "Soul of the Living" ...
