Artist: Radiohead
Title: Amnesiac
Label: Parlophone
Year: 2001
Designer: Book by Stanley Donwood and Tchocky
Type of music: Experimental rock
Notes: Lovely. I particularly like the library card and the command that “this book is to be hidden.” My only criticism, as with the mum book, is that I’m puzzled by the choice of glossy paper stock for the image pages. Something thinner, matt and textured would have registered the passing of time more pleasingly and would have been more appropriate for this imaginative project.
