Video's. Kid A. Kid A was recorded in Paris, Copenhagen, Gloucestershire and Oxford with producer Nigel Godrich.
The album's songwriting and recording were experimental for Radiohead,[1] as the band replaced their earlier "anthemic" rock style with a more electronic sound.[8] Influenced by Krautrock,[9] jazz,[10] and 20th-century classical music,[11] Radiohead abandoned their three-guitar line-up for a wider range of instruments on Kid A, using keyboards, the ondes Martenot, and, on certain compositions, strings and brass.[9] Original artwork by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke, and a series of short animated films called "blips", accompanied the album. The album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. It also received praise for introducing listeners to diverse forms of underground music.[1] Despite the band's new direction alienating some fans and critics,[1] Kid A received generally positive reviews from notable music publications.
