“We deliberately spent a long time preparing, ”he says of recording
‘Hail To The Thief’,“And we got into the ideas of performance
at the same time as using a lot of electronics, so all the computer techniques
had to occur there and then. It’s something we’re getting very heavily
into. So you’d prepare the computers for all eventualities and you’d
go with them. It’s a very acoustic recordt his one, but I’ve found
out that we can do all this loud stuff with computers which is the direction I
think we’ll take. ”It also seems that Yorke is frustrated with the
confines of the traditional album format, possibly provoking a move to just releasing
EPs in thefuture.
“When you’re finishing a record, you have to confront the idea
of what it’s called, and there’s no getting away from the fact that
people are gonna be reacting in such a way. ”Yorke continued, “I
think next I’d love to just do EPs ‘cos I’ve had enough of
this whole album thing and that sort of level of pressure and scrutiny and the
way that it works in the music business.”
