In this video Canadian Guitarist/producer Dean Wolfe reacts to Kid A album by Radiohead.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught Canadian guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician, on the road at age 17 for two years, then went part-time ever since, while holding day careers including chef and spiritual health care while raising a family.
As a producer I've made hundreds of my own songs for media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I mostly abandoned the prog genre in the 90s but have returned to it now with vigour 30 years later. So much prog! My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk / acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electronic as well).

Thanks!
Very cool that you’re listening to this for the first time with headphones…so many amazing things happening through this album that get missed until you hear it with headphones.
100%
Really great headphone album. Saw them on this tour, they re-interpreted things live in a most interesting way.
@@davidtollefson8411 One of the great things about seeing these guys live is they recreate all the effects live every show. You can watch Ed O’Brien creating loops and then layering everything together. Pretty amazing stuff.
I know, I've been lucky enough to see them a few times over the years. Amazing band.
@Drew Mason Headphones gives a different experience…much easier to pick up all the intricacies in my experience.
The quality of sound on your videos is 10/10
thanks, I am conscientious of the sound. They say bad video Is excusable, but not bad sound.
I agree!
@@deanwolfechannelwhat mic is that
Jonny Greenwood, the lead guitarist, started experimenting with obscure instruments during this period. One such instrument is the Ondes Martinot, which is basically a theremin with a keyboard, you can hear it prominently on The National Anthem and How to Disappear Completely. Its such a beautiful sounding instrument, I recommend looking up videos of how its played.
And it's used so effectively! Really significant to their sound
I had seen Radiohead in concert a half a dozen times by the time Kid A came out. I was confused when I first heard it. I knew the band was always evolving and hated tracing their own footprints, but this was so odd. Now it stands as my favorite album. Almost a quarter century later, Radiohead still seems ahead of their time.
It's a new fave of mine now.
An epic album! When this came out, 13 year old me had no idea what was happening haha. The National Anthem still gets me every time I hear it!
I remember at the time it was such a change of sound, yet in hindsight it wasn’t. All the signs were there on OK Computer that something like this was coming. It must have blown your mind at that age, it did mine and I was 17.
@@anthonysharps6933 It truly shocked me. My friends and I were into grunge in high school, and didn't want to listen to anything else. I figured I'd just try it out - it made me realize that I had to be more open minded. Unfortunately, all my friends, to this day, haven't changed at all haha.
This album threw pretty much everyone for a loop when it came out. I already liked a bunch of Warp Records music, and some ambient techno things, so I enjoyed it straightaway. Very Brian Eno and Aphex Twin-esque in spots, and was such a daring move for a rock band at that time.
This was one of the more challenging albums to come out at the end of the millennia. Specially for the band itself coming from the so called best alternative rock album of the decade (90s) unanimously.
As a listener haven't heard anything so boundless at the time. It was a shocker! Yet it stood the test of time now I think.
Although my fave of theirs it's In Rainbows.
After the success of OK Computer, I’d have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the record company when they handed this in & they heard it the first time😂
In Rainbows has turned out to be my most listened to album, and I've been a fan since day one. Something about it resonates with me as well.
In Rainbows and Amnesiac for me
🤍
9:14 I love the way you instantly look in the direction the music comes from 🌻
😂 I had not noticed that myself
@@deanwolfechannel I realized because I did the same thing hahjaha
I really hope you are gonna do their whole discography because my favorite albums of theirs are their more lowkey ones
Drums stopping for a bar or two was very popular in EDM from the late 80's Acid House / early 90's Rave scene. I've had it explained to me that those high on ecstasy get a rush when this happens. From Kid A onwards, Radiohead occasionally incorporate a few elements from dance music. Thom is a bit of a raver and has been to known to DJ at clubs. Also said he was obsessed with Aphex Twin in interviews.
Ah yes, noteworthy comment about the breaks
You are insightful and good at this! Your background familiarity with relevant adjacent music like Brian Eno leaves you far better equipped to react intelligently to an album like this than most other CZcamsrs I’ve seen. Great stuff, man.
thanks man!
The album that changed my life forever. Welcome to the team.
I was already a big Radiohead fan when this came out and, like almost everyone else, I was shocked and more than a bit disappointed not to have another Alt Rock album. I still liked it and learned to get used to Radiohead challenging my expectations with every new album. 20 years on, I consider this their finest album with the possible exception of Kid A Mnesia only because that is 3 albums in one, including this one, Amnesiac (from the same sessions) and some awesome alternative versions.
Agree....this is their finest hour. Kid a amnesia is a truly fantastic trio. Respect.
I always liked Amnesiac soo much more than Kid A. Whatever people get from Kid A, I don't lol
Great, thoughtful reaction! Enjoyed it a lot and looking forward to watching the other parts.
First track is obviously fantastic but man TNA is just amazing, amazing display of songwriting and a cool mix of avantgarde and convention
Just found your channel and what are the first video’s I see. Ones with your reaction to my fave bands best albums. So right about Thom’s voice it’s beautiful to listen to and so unique. A soulful shyness to it yet can also sound so sinister in some of their songs. Love it! Keep up the good work.
thanks man
What an amazing album, to this day I still feel tingles when I listen to kid A from beginning to end. Great reaction too, what a cool dude you are, subscribed :)
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm editing my in rainbows reaction today
This is my favorite Radiohead album.
so far, mine too
this was the only CD i had in my car forever in college. only used my car for the drive to my part-time job. got me off to a good start of a work shift
Watched your ok computer video 1 hrs ago and wondered if you did any kid a analysis, wow you read my mind
Great album, great band. I really think there one of the best bands of all time.
This album pissed me off so much I boycotted them for a year then I gave them one more chance when Amnesaic came out which was the stuff that did not fit on Kid A (but I did not know that) I bought that and did not like that either so I boycotted them for like 10 years. I just happened to catch the basement session for their brilliant record In Rainbows and listened to Radiohead for like a year straight and got in to all the records I disliked and the other ones I missed and now I put them up there with the Beatles and Floyd or Zepplin I think they will probably be the last really great band as the music industry has changed so dramatically.
good point about the music industry
Have you heard Animal Collective? MGMT’s second and third albums? Tame Impala?
The title track I was not so fond of in the beginning but it's a grower for sure.
Plus the live version from the early 2000s is nice because it's so different with the clean/unmodified vocals.
Same!
Great underrated reviewer thanks 🙏
I appreciate that!
Let's gooo
There is a subtle kick drum going through the first track actually
Yep, and sometimes more drums when they play this live.
Keep going! They are all great and have an incredible life of their own. Except Pablo & Bends those were warm ups lol
I think the Bends is still a great record.
I think this is what The Beatles might have evolved into, if they had remained young and progressed twenty years into computers, in an alternative universe! It's so melodic and beautiful.
Wilderun does a great cover of Everything's In It's Right Place🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 2000 I was 24/25 when this was released.This is when Radiohead changed up the game. Classic album
check out radiohead national annthem on snl (it's on youtube), one of the best live songs they've ever done.
that is a theramin in the first few minutes of National Anthem. it comes back later in the album and is freaking awesome watching them play it live
was it a theramin on this album? i've seen them use an ondes before which both are amazing instrument choices to dial in that signature Radiohead sound we love so much
@@dylanbarborak7271 you know what....I think you are right!
@@DavidWilliams-ic1nn creative geniuses.. All I gotta say🤯
23 years old. Hard to believe
There's a YT video out there on the time signature, or lack thereof, in 'Everything in its Right Place' that I found interesting...
National Anthem is my favorite bass in any song ever
what's crazy is that construction noises wouldn't be out of place as a sample on a Radiohead album.
😃🤣
You might be interested in seeing Radiohead perform Bloom on Stephen Colbert; so many moving parts live it almost runs away but its kept together. Ps you might recognise the extra drummer, or not.
I can't believe I haven't seen a comment about Spinning Plates. You can research it, but he recorded it singing everything backwards, then they played that recording in reverse to track it. I think...it's been a while but I think that's the story. Fun fact of the day.
Lyrics on Spinning plates send me chills down the spine, Thom is a genius.
If you get a chance, listen to The National Anthem Live at Reading 2009. The greatest iteration of the track IMO.
National Anthem is dripping with the bands reverence of Miles Davis seminal triumph, Bitches Brew.
I got more of "Tribute to Jack Johnson" avant-garde vibes. Miles Davis's best work imo
You mentioned Brian Eno. I think this whole album sounds like Richard James aka Aphex Twin, like right down to the tonality and odd structuring. If you don't know what I'm referring to check out "Richard D James Album" from 1996. Very distinct.
I want to dive in hard to the whole Eno thing, solo albums and projects some time
@@deanwolfechannel 😱😆 Here for it!! I must say though that I am partial to Eno's early music. I enjoy some of his ambient work so I'll watch regardless.
You can tell at a glance that this is exactly what was in his head. This can only come from not only FU money but FU legacy. 'compromise'?? No need, mate.
They couldn't of wrote The Bends and Ok Computer without having the potential for Kid A in them.
7:55 in and I wished it could be on "hold" music. The wait time may be longer... or many more calls.
First song i ever Heard was everything un it's right place, when i was 14 nothing was the same anymore hahsh
When you get around to amnesiac you’ll lose your mind from how good this band is
More Radiohead is planned.
The brass arrangements from this era remind me of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
Can't wait for "How To Disappear Completely", to be honest :)
It fil;ls me with joy that so many fans and critics hated this masterpiece. They wanted OK Computer II and they got this.
11:21 what's happening in the background?
😂 my kid playing video games can get very noisy !
Construction worker sounds could be a NIN intro or drum beat
That was awesome.
There is just a kick drum in EIIRP.
what headphones do you use?
In description box
It got a lot of hate but incidentally enough won them an even bigger audience and made them more of a globally big band and the rest is history. Rolling stone album of 2000s. Probably the right choice I would say.
11:20 I need answers????
My kids no doubt 😅
Anyone that makes a Brian Eno reference, gets an automatic like from me!
😂🙏👍
Please do elliott smith
Great suggestion
OK Computer was the Rubber Soul and Kid A was the Sgt Peppers
Kid A is an awesome Album. But it's more Tecno than Rock. A big jump from Ok Computer. Both are the pick of Radiohead discography.
its not tecno at all ..
If you don't like singers that "sound like they are in the midst of an orgasm" (or whatever you said 😆) then do not listen to björk's album 'vespertine' lol
Bjork is an exception then 💕
Love Vespertine! It’s my Winter album.
@@BoogerBear1982 unusually, it is actually a very summery album for me because I started listening to it alot around last summer when it was extremely hot in Britain. I love how memories can alter your perspective on music 😄
You should watch the video kid a , the greatest left turn in music history on the middle 8 yt channel. It gave you the context of the recording of the album .
They really didnt want to do ok computer2
Also listen to oknotok and kid amnesiac
Not ok computer and kid a ! You got much more
Skip the In Rainbows reaction and do The Bends instead...and thank me later!
I may get to the bends later
@@deanwolfechannel That would be awesome. I always rate The Bends, Ok Computer, and Kid A as 1A, B, & C, in no particular order just depending on mode I guess. You really get to hear a once-in-a-generation type band grow from really good to great sort of like the Beatles going from love-me-do pop to psychedelic experimental rock in those 3 albums. The Bends is more of a poppy Rock album with actual radio-friendly songs so you'll probably not like it as much but its definitely a stronger Album than anything in their discography besides OK & KidA IMHO. And I'm sure you've probably heard half of The bends over the years on MTV or movie soundtracks and whatnot.
In Rainbows is a better album than the bends on the whole. Just my opinion of course.
Finally! You nailed it - accidentally. I've never liked Thom's voice. It's like he's (ew!) edging and it is gross. "Creep" is great, but now I hear they don't like that anymore. I wish Thom would have 3 shots of whiskey and then get up on the mic and sing... This constant yearning... "almost-there" vocals kill every song.
Watched your ok computer video 1 hrs ago and wondered if you did any kid a analysis, wow you read my mind
I'm a minute man- on the ball 😎
