'Motion Picture Soundtrack' (7:01) note Song ends at 3:17 includes an untitled hidden track at 4:17 until 5:12, followed by 1:44 of silence.

Just over 20 years later, the pair were re-released together as part of the anniversary release Kid A Mnesia, consisting of both albums and a third disc of outtakes in the vein of the OKNOTOK reissue of OK Computer. One half is included on Kid A, and the other is on Amnesiac, which came out seven months later as a loose companion piece. While the band found Creative Differences over the album's direction, at one point agreeing to split up if no final product could be made, over 20 songs were ultimately produced over a grueling 18-month period. The album also topped the charts in the UK, Canada, France, Ireland, and New Zealand, ultimately becoming the 50th best-selling album of 2000 in the UK.

Utilizing unorthodox promoting tactics - for one, largely eschewing singles and music videos note although promotional singles for 'How to Disappear Completely', 'Idioteque', 'The National Anthem', and 'Optimistic' were given out to radio stations for a series of short televised 'blips', most of them animated - the album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 in the USA and went platinum in the UK during opening week, eventually getting Radiohead its second Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and second Album of the Year nomination. Upon release, Kid A was a commercial success despite its deliberately uncommercial direction and promotion. This set the ethos of creating Kid A among the many influences the band drew from in its production, the album can be best summed up as combining the abstract and artsy electronica of Björk's Homogenic with the disjointedly surreal and anxious lyricism of Talking Heads' Remain in Light and the lonesome, wintry vibe of David Bowie's Low. Listening to acts like Autechre and Aphex Twin drove Yorke to the realization that instrumental electronics could evoke the same emotions from him as guitars. This change was motivated by the band's burnout following the extensive promotion of OK Computer and the growing number of bands following their example, which - combined with Writer's Block - resulted in frontman Thom Yorke suffering a mental breakdown and becoming disenchanted with not only Radiohead's standard guitar-based music, but with the concepts of rock and melody as a whole. Kid A, on the other hand, saw the band dive headfirst into electronica, using it as the structure of certain songs rather than purely for texture. The group had been dabbling in Electronic Music as early as 'Planet Telex', the opening track from The Bends, and by their next album OK Computer, its influence on their sound had grown more prominent.

Released in October 2000 through Parlophone Records in the UK and Capitol Records in the US, it marked a new stage of the band's sonic experimentation. Kid A is the fourth album by English Alternative Rock band Radiohead.
