Being somewhat revered now, it's easy to forget how worried Radiohead fans initially were after 2000's bleep-fest 'Kid A' arguably signaled the point by which the band would never return from their 'experimental' crusade inside their own back passage. But heralding the arrival of 2001 follow-up 'Amnesiac', 'Pyramid Song' showed that they could still toss off ghostly hymns of stunning beauty, Phil Selway's spine-shivery patter and tish drums setting the bed for arguably Thom Yorke's most darkly divine piano lines yet. Oh, for a few more like them now… (JF)
