sorry for the abundance of radiohead lately, but this is a gigamesh remix so it doesnt really count, right? plus i thought we unofficially declared fridays dance party fridays, so i kinda had to throw a remix in there anyway. i was a little cautious of this because everything in its right place is one of my favorite radiohead songs, and as ive mentioned before, i tend to be a little weary of dance remixes to begin with.
my biggest concern with this song was how they were going to handle the “yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon” part of the song, with its uneven time signature. well, i will say that part does sound pretty weird still and sounds a tiny bit not right to me, but its totally worth it to get to the 2:07 mark, when you realize that this could have really been a dance song if it wanted to be from the start. its also worth listening to this whole song to hear the funky little bass line that comes in just after the 3:00 mark and everything that comes after it. pretty nice touch in the first 15 seconds where you can hear a little sample of “packd like sardines in a crushd tin box”, the opening track to kid a’s brother album amnesiac. im usually not a big fan of anyone touching radiohead songs for any reason, but this remix was definitely not a letdown, and that is a good thing. and whats not to like about a danceable version of a song i love that is anything but danceable in its original state? what do you think? danceable or desecration?
i think it was just “pretty good” until about 3:00, and then i got happy!

Here’s what I think.. I used to play the original version at parties and people would keep dancing cause I’ve always noticed there’s a real steady kick hidden but still big.
Anyway “yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon” and “there are two colors in my head” I feel if Gigamesh dropped the snare it could really improve the feeling. Maybe play around with some hi-hats til it falls back into place.
There are other options but overall I seriously love this remix.
“Everything in it’s right place” could very well be my favorite song in the world. I’ll have to decide once I hear the rest of the music in the world..
If you get the chance, pick up the 10′ version of Kid A, it was clearly mastered for this format and I got chills as soon as the vocals came in.
Thanks for posting a high quality file, I d.l. a shitty sounding one of V2.0
Not really noticing the difference.
