KID A MNESIA comes in several formats, including a 3CD version, a limited edition red vinyl LP, and Kid Amnesiette, a double cassette edition that also features five of the era’s B-sides: “Kinetic”, “Fast-Track”, “Cuttooth”, “The Amazing Sounds of Orgy” and “Trans-Atlantic Drawl”. The announcement was also accompanied by the release of the aforementioned, previously-unheard “If You Say the Word”. It was developed by Namethemachine, Arbitrarily Good Productions and Epic Games, with Radiohead.
It serves as a digital exhibition of music and artwork created for the Radiohead albums Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001).
KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION TROPHY WINDOWS
The black fingernails indicate that the hands belong to Chieftan Mews, a character who has appeared in several of Radiohead’s promotional videos and social media posts. Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is a 2021 exploration game published by Epic Games for macOS, Windows and PlayStation 5. Having been teased since 2019, the compilation was eventually announced through a cryptic video which featured a pair of hands clumsily taping together CD copies of the two albums to the soundtrack of Amnesiac’s “Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box”, perhaps referring to how Kid A and Amnesiac are being similarly “packed” together. Unlike the 20th anniversary reissue of OK Computer from 2017, KID A MNESIA’s bonus disc does not feature any of the B-sides from the era. The reissue contains the two original albums, in addition to Kid Amnesiae, a collection of demos and unreleased tracks including the mysterious “C-minor song”, released here as “If You Say the Word”. Though they were released separately in 20 respectively, Kid A and Amnesiac were conceived in the same recording sessions and marked the band’s abrupt left turn from guitar-based alternative rock to more experimental and electronic music. KID A MNESIA is the 20th anniversary re-release of Radiohead’s fourth and fifth albums, Kid A and Amnesiac.
