cool.



radiohead were my favorite band when i was younger. but over the years i just got bored by all of it. especially after king of limbs. ( not saying i didnt enjoy the record, just saying thats the period in time i began to stop caring )

anyway. i thought the eraser was a really good album. ive always respected radiohead and thoms work. so this will def. be worth checking out


someone review it!

At first listening it doesn't come close to The Eraser at all imo. There is No Ice (For My Drink) is a great standout though. The ending of There is No Ice & start of Pink Section is pure bliss!

I saw this and immediately jumped. Thought it was the next Radiohead album and they pulled a release the same way they did before. It's just Thomphex Twin though.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

I don't get this comparison at all. On what do you base this on?

I really like the album! Didn't expect that. I think it's much better with what he did with Atoms For Peace.

Nose Grows Some is my favourite song on it. It's such a calm and relaxing song.
The intro of Interference reminded me of boc's Poppy Seed.

Just about to dive in for a 4th complete runthrough in as many days. I'm beginning to really love this album - far more than Limbs or Amok - in fact it's probably his strongest and most cohesive work since In Rainbows 7 years ago. But TMB is a subtle beast, and it does need to be heard repeatedly in order for the music to open up to you, or perhaps you to it. Headphones are highly recommended, even essential.
Good and thoughtful review on Uncut from John Mulvey

There hasn't been a release in more than a decade that I can fault.. I'm going to cop this vinyl on the blind no worries.

This has been really growing on me, I liked it first spin, but slowly it is intoxicating me.. particularly

There Is No Ice (For My Drink) >>>> slow fade into Pink Section .... and it melts me when Nose Grows Some comes out.. Ethereal..

These three tracks combined are every reason why Thom and Nigel are gods in their own right.

Have only listened to it a few times so far, but it's really good. I really liked AMOK as well, but was not a fan of TKOL (except for Lotus Flower). Need to give this a few more spins though, think this will grow alot on me.

I'm surprised to see Thom Yorke on Bandcamp, but I guess it just shows how much the music industry has shrink over the last decade. That being said, I dig the sound, it's pretty good, but not outstanding.

^really.. I seriously can't imagine how that would surprise anyone. With how progressive he has been with music releases, if you recall how Radiohead was one of the first artists to offer pay as you want for In Rainbows. He has released EP's and LP's via torrent bittorrent client etc.
