Here, though, was the first of the big Radiohead release innovations: the band released the iBlip вЂ“ a Java proto-app that allowed people to preorder and stream the album, and access artwork and links. And I couldnвЂ™t handle that.вЂќДЄnd so, one of the most anticipated rock records in years was another left-turn, inspired by electronica rather than rock, and accompanied by the minimum amount of promotion by the band. Thom Yorke told the Guardian вЂ“ and this theme might sound familiar: вЂњI always used to use music as a way of moving on and dealing with things, and I sort of felt like that thing that helped me deal with things had been sold to the highest bidder and I was simply doing its bidding. Once again, this was an album made in reaction to the music industry rather than in conjunction with it. Kid A was not promoted with albums or singles, but 30-second animated вЂњblipsвЂќ. What else? By now, Radiohead were firmly in control. What the critics said: вЂњWhere Radiohead might go from here is anyoneвЂ™s guess, but OK Computer is evidence that they are one rock band still willing to look the devil square in the eyes.вЂќ вЂ“ Rolling Stone A placing at No 21 in the US, and platinum status, suggested Capitol had been wrong. When OK Computer followed, it was received like the second coming of the Beatles, with sales to match вЂ“ No 1 in the UK and many other countries. A performance on Later вЂ¦ With Jools Holland on 31 May sealed the deal: this was the future of rock music. It was premiered on Radio 1вЂ™s Evening Session a month before release, and when it came out it was hailed as a new Bohemian Rhapsody.

But Paranoid Android became the defining moment of the new Radiohead вЂ“ a creation myth for the WorldвЂ™s Most Earnest Band. The lead single, released a couple of weeks before the album, was a six-and-a-half minute, multi-sectioned epic, that the band said was a bit of a joke, really. It lowered its sales forecast from 2m to 500,000, leaving Parlophone вЂ“ the EMI imprint that released Radiohead in the UK вЂ“ as the only ones to offer unequivocal support. What else? RadioheadвЂ™s US label, Capitol, took one listen to OK Computer and decided the band had delivered their commercial suicide record. What the critics said: вЂњThe album mostly reminds me of Suede trying to rock like Sparks but coming out like U2, or (more often) that hissy little pissant in Smashing Pumpkins.вЂќ вЂ“ Spin The Bends reached No 4 in the UK, and though it went no higher than No 88 in the US, it paved the way for what was to come.

ItвЂ™s easy to forget that Radiohead are very good at the business bit of вЂњmusic businessвЂќ as well as the music bit.

Did the band revolt at this label interference? No.

The album was preceded by the My Iron Lung EP in October 1994, which did badly enough that EMI insisted that The Bends, which had been produced by John Leckie, be remixed by Sean Slade and Paul Q Kolderie. ThatвЂ™s an oversimplification of course, but The Bends was the point when Radiohead went from being a mid-level alt-rock band to an art-rock band with Something To Say. Makes album that consists of 48 minutes of him being fed up. What else? The short and highly partial story: Thom Yorke gets sick of being rock star travelling the world with people screaming out for Creep. How? Conventional physical release on EMI.
