Listening Party #9 - In Rainbows by Radiohead - start playing at 8pm on 18th May

DiscoStu

On my original first listen, this was my favourite track. I love that synth sound.

Fuengi

All I Need - Little bit of modulation on the synth here and there keeps you guessing.

Thom Yorke's vocals reminds me of that bloke from Blue Nile. 

Ooh that would be a good candidate for another LP

They both have that keening high register

That's him. I was struggling to remember his first name and didn't want to google. Ian Buchanan was a actor I think.

Martin Buchan.

Nope, I got confused by your icon image. He was Scottish though.

Got to be Hats for me - I've added it to my list of candidates

Admission: apparently I added 'In Rainbows' to a Spotify playlist on Dec 20th 2019...this would only be my second listen for some reason.

Fuengi

Here's an extremely deftly performed vocal from Mr Buchanan for later.

DiscoStu

How's it going so far? I'm loving hearing this through the big headphones! I've herd this album hundreds of times but usually in the car/works van so sitting down and dedicating myself to it is great.
In Rainbows to Radiohead is a bit like Live Aid was to Queen. A triumph for both bands and arguably saved them both.

HTTT is a fantastic record and they didn't need saving. Fight me!
