I've been sorting through RADIOHEAD post their 90s unpalpable (mostly) rock stuff towards their millienium non-rock stuff and had this to say to Dr. Scott in Denmark.
"Try to be in a "metatemporal" mode with later abstract Radiohead stuff. From the "Kid A", "Amnesiac", "Hail To The Thief", "In Rainbows" and "The King Of Limbs" albums, i.e. post 2000 millienia they REALLY got interesting. It is alot like the band are projecting Super Villain prophecy on Korova Milk bar dosage and post-psych Art New Wave, like if Can were strung out on meth in jumpsuits and Clockwork Orange bowler hats babbling in NadSat ala Chrome, thrashing about with electronics and loops. It really is "heavy coded" stuff, not straighforward, but once you "get it" or get past the abstract coded noise and babble, albums like "In Rainbows" is Brutal like a 60s Marvel comic or thrashy like Giant Transforming Robot fights. They use alot of comic book design on their later LP s as well."
Other wise i have grown a bit weary of my own Magickal Existence on The Brink of Utopia (Post Apologetic):
No Way Out: The Other Way Out in Northern Ireland... Praha magica rococco out yer arse in COIL. PS: "How To Destroy Angels" so are they (The Magicians in COIL) gonna KILL VISHNU THEN?? Ya Ho Wah? HOW TO SLAY GODS SERAPHS??? THE ANGELS CLOSEST TO GOD???
For Scandinavian fans: "Lillebror ser sorte fugler fra sykehusvinduet / hva het den skumle Danske TV serien ca 1998?"
