In our fourth episode of season one, we examine the making of Radiohead's 2000 and 2001 albums Kid A and Amnesiac. Some initial writer's block leads to unexpected creative developments as the band spreads their wings and experiments in their own studio. Napster enters the fold and has a surprising (lack of) effect on album sales, Ed O'Brien keeps a daily record, and Jonny Greenwood buys some very expensive antique synthesizers as we cover the years 1999-2001 in the life of Radiohead.
