Supercollider/The Butcher - more evidence of the wonder of Radiohead

[Charlie Jefferson]

These two new tracks are fantastic. Particularly love The Butcher right now. The woodwind-flecked opening feels like a Spirit of Eden meets Warp Records moment. Supercollider is less immediate, but just as crunching and rewarding on the speakers and ears.

I read that one of the tracks was recorded during and one after KOL, but both would easily further enhance that album.

Great stuff. Roll on the delivery of the vinyl version of King Of Limbs.

[Dan Turner]

From Radiohead's site:

"Purchased The King Of Limbs album before 3:30pm (GMT) Monday 18th April?

Then download Supercollider / The Butcher here"

Did you buy the vinyl version? Perhaps you only get the free download if you ordered that? I did and got the e-mail with the downloads, not listened to them yet tho.

Nope, I merely DL'd the WAV version.

Any thoughts on the music itself, anyone?

It's slotted into my week's most played tracks. Alongside other RSD faves: Heady Nuggs boxset, Nickel Creek's first album and also Rush's Moving Pictures. The latter I haven't heard in it's entirety for 30 years, and was prompted by a thread elsewhere on this forum. It's great. Almost as good as KOL.
