RADIOHEAD: KID A MNESIA

[Riptide]

Radiohead is releasing a joint anniversary edition of Kid A and Amnesiac along with a new track, "If You Say the Word."


In the original Kid A album artwork, there were two towering structures on fire partially obscured by white mountains. In the new "Kid A Mnesia" artwork, the horizon above the mountains is blacked out.

Three small pyramids in the centre reference the Giza complex.

The two triangular towers at the left almost appear to be bleeding, as if struck?

To the right those white lines remind me of the beams of light which issued from the site of the former towers.

The alien figure is almost dissolving into the pool, the spermatoza coming from it. Reminded me of the opening sequence of 'Prometheus'.

Eerie.
