The song here is just fine – nothing that irkes me but it doesn’t blow me away either. I’m more excited by the visuals, which are absolutely stunning. Directed by James Houston, the mind behind Radiohead’s Big Ideas (Don’t Get Any) video:

James Houston: "Big Ideas (Don't get any)" Video
The best Radiohead “Nude” remix I have heard (no easy feat considering Holy Fuck’s brilliant effort). + this video and it is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. The equipment being used:
Sinclair ZX Spectrum – Guitars (rhythm & lead)
Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer – Drums
HP Scanjet 3c – Bass Guitar
Hard Drive array – Act as a collection of bad speakers – Vocals & FX
I also disagree with Houston’s claim that “It doesn’t sound great, as it’s not supposed to” – it sounds absolutely majestic and I think it was always meant to sound that way. Get through the intro and you will see what I mean.
