It's a myth that the band are intense and finnicky about gear. It's an understandable misconception because of the "cinematic" aspects of their production. But, in many respects, there is an irreverent punk rock side to Radiohead. They don't actually give a f**k. They're just really, really, really good. They use the same tools we all use. Except that they make more interesting choices with them.

They hire a great producer/engineer (Godrich), get to work and focus on the arrangements and feel. Yorke is heavily into laptop music production, but for the most part the "technical" aspect is left to Godrich. They're excellent musicians with a songwriting vision. And they pursue that.

In other words, they have good taste. They have ideas.

That's it, people.

And we don't really know. So theres that, and Radiohead uses Modulars... and theres a picture of him fixing a S8000 Module box with custom modules and other parts...by himself. These guys know quite a bit.
