Radiohead - The Best Of DVD

In between the two Glazer videos came an inspired departure for the accompaniment to the hugely anticipated first single from third Radiohead album OK Computer, "Paranoid Android." Instead of commissioning an established video director, the band invited Swedish animator Magnus Carlsson to make a surreal animated adventure featuring his cartoon slacker character Robin.

The band became enthusiastic patrons of a new wave of groundbreaking animation. Radiohead's experimental album Kid A produced no singles or videos, but instead, 10-to 40-second animated 'blipverts' - many created by Shynola, a four-man group of computer animators not long out of film school. When Radiohead released the more accessible Amnesiac, Shynola directed the video for "Pyramid Song," a superb ultimately devastating animation: a diver plunges into the sea from a concrete island to reveal a city, his home, submerged below.
