Kid A Mnesia: A Book of Radiohead Artwork

Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood

£30.00 £28.50

While Kid A and Amnesiac were being conceived, rehearsed, recorded and produced, Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood made hundreds of images from obsessive, insomniac scrawls in biro to six-foot-square painted canvases. What emerges is a deeply strange portrait of the years at the start of this century.

Fear Stalks the Land!: A Commonplace Book

Fear Stalks the Land!: A Commonplace Book

Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood

£9.99 £9.49

This commonplace book includes faxes, notes, fledgling lyrics, sketches, lists of all kinds and scribblings towards nirvana, sent between the two authors during the creation of Kid A and Amnesiac. This is a document of the creative process and a mirror to the fears, portents and fantasies invoked by the world as its citizens faced a brave new millennium.
