This is not a re(bel song)-view!!
I have been a Radiohead head for zonks. Those awful traffic choked drives home through Kuala Lumpur from the night job during '97-'98 my sanity saved by 'OK Computer'. I wore out 2 cassettes of said work in my car stereo. I paid 5 pounds for my download of 'In Rainbow'. I put it on a CD and listened to it as I drove through the awful traffic choked roads of Dubai. It takes me time to savour and arrive at somewhere with works of art - be they music, literature, whatever...
With many of the tracks on 'In Rainbow' I can only say I must have lived too long...all I can hear is 'Blue Nile' - remember them? I think they release a collection every 25 years! Anyway, I think Thom has been listening to a lot of Blue Nile. Just as we did all those years ago...on the real Blue Nile: Rufaah, Wad Medani, Singa and Sennar...
