DJ Mykal a.k.a.林哲儀

昨天我的同溫層因為Radiohead無預警釋出的消息大騷動，因為原本在2000與2001年推出的兩張專輯《Kid A》與《Amnesiac》，將合併推出記念名版《Kid A Mnesia》。

所以我昨晚也特別翻出這套我當年收藏的《Kid A》初版英盤10吋2LP，剛剛好奇上網查了一下居然可以賣到240英鎊（？）

回顧當年《Kid A》之所以經典，在於Radiohead幾乎揚棄了傳統搖滾樂的一切定則，忽略掉Thom Yorke覺得多餘的旋律性，甚至他自己在大部分的時間裡也是呢喃低吟而多過於正式的「歌唱」。所著重的，是兩條本質迥異卻能同步前進而交會的創作主軸——一方面影響Thom Yorke至深的Warp廠牌式電子氛圍建構普遍反映在大部分作品的意境營造上，另一方面Radiohead又一腳踏入了post-rock最根本且重要的顛覆理論中──將「搖滾樂器演奏」用在「非搖滾意圖」之上。

結果《Kid A》所完成的，是Radiohead向avant-rock畛域探索後的自我超越，還流露出將人推向絕望與崩潰邊緣的糾結黯然情壞，事隔21年後重溫依舊懾人。
