Contrast this with the stark mechanized beauty of Idioteque, that stupid pumping compression is lovely, it works beautifully.

| I agree, actually I think that drum programming is not Radiohead's forté...Same with Kid A, the electronica bits sound a bit cliché. It's a shame because they shouldn't think that they should use this kind of sound/programming to be hip, as it has the opposite effect IMO. The music will gain from using J Greenwood complex orchestral arrangements a lot more than some half baked Laptop treatments.
