![]() ![]() Maybe you’ve been clued up for ages, and I’m just playing catch up. So, do yourself a favour – take the time to kick back one evening with a drink of your choice and discover or reappraise this unfairly overshadowed album, whose engulfing moodscapes took their time to work their magic on me. The Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is a virtual, immersive Art exhibition curated and based on the Music by the UK band, Radiohead. However, when appreciated on their own merits, that second half is equally as adventurous as its older sibling and as just as powerful. To listen to these albums back-to-back reaffirms that they fully work as two halves of the same musical statement. The reissue repackaged the two albums together, and it made perfect sense. It’s worth noting that ‘Amnesiac’ was cannily rereleased in 2021 to mark the 20-year anniversary – sweet Paranoid Android, I’m old – of both ‘Kid A’ and ‘Amnesiac’, under the title ‘KID A MNESIA’. However, I always enjoy revisiting (and revising) my preconceptions.

KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION is a fevered dream-space, an edifice, built from the art and creatures, words and recordings of Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac uncovered from 20 odd years ago. What I loved in particular was the fact that on the surface, it appears to. Kid A Mnesia is a commemorative rerelease of Radiohead’s iconic albums Kid A and Amnesiac, along with a third, new album Kid Amnesiae of unreleased material from the two original. I found it to be one of my favourite gaming experiences of the year despite the relatively short length. First of all, if you haven't checked this game/exhibit yet, I highly recommend you do so. KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION is out now and its FREE for PC and Mac on Epic Games Store.Radiohead and Epic Games Publishing are proud to present KID A MNESIA EXH. Yes, a track like ‘Pulk Pull Revolving Doors’ feels unfinished and the re-recording of ‘Kid A’’s ‘Morning Bell’, while pleasant, definitely contributes to that feeling many continue to cling onto – that of an album that is a companion piece rather than its own unique beast.
