Steve Lamacq plays Radiohead's groundbreaking fourth album Kid A in full as part of the 6 Music Album Club.

Released in October 2000, Kid A was Radiohead's fourth album and was produced by collaborator Nigel Godrich. The album drew on a wide range of diverse influences from electronic and ambient music, though krautrock, jazz, and 20th-century classical music. The band also expanded their musical palette by using more modular synthesiser, samples and loops as well as brass sections and strings. 

The band also didn't release any singles from the album and became one of the first groups to harness the power of the internet as a promotional tool with the album being streamed upon release. Kid A debuted at the top of the UK Albums Chart and became Radiohead's first number-one album in the United States. It also won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
