"Some will find it amusing that Griffiths, professor of music at Oxford Brookes University, compares the album's lead-off track to 'the cello part in a Brahms or Faure sonata.'

Synopsis
Seemingly granted 'classic album' status within days of its release in 1997, OK Computer transformed Radiohead from a highly promising rock act into The Most Important Band in the World a label the band has been burdened by (and has fooled around with) ever since. Through close musical analysis of each song, Dai Griffiths explores the themes and ideas that have made this album resonate so deeply with its audience, and argues that OK Computer is one of the most successfully realized CD albums so far created.EXCERPTBut then 'Karma Police' changes. After the second chorus the track lifts, in various ways. Harmonically, there's a key change of sorts (the sheet music charmingly follows the convention of preparing the reader for the new key signature), from E minor to B minor, although in truth both sections use similar chords. Then vocally or melodically, the key change takes Thom Yorke to his angelic register. Texturally, there's a big shift, with all the instruments doing lighter things. Best to my mind though, there's the one word, phew. Phew's great: it's a cartoon word, like 'gulp' or 'zzzz' or 'bah'. Its precision matters, the fact that it's really there, properly pronounced, not just sort-of-breathed…>, Seemingly granted 'classic album' status within days of its release in 1997, OK Computer transformed Radiohead from a highly promising rock act into The Most Important Band in the World - a label the band has been burdened by (and has fooled around with) ever since.

    I purchased two pans from this seller and he combined the shipping when they didn’t need to. This was appreciated and told me all I needed to know about this seller. The condition was just as described and beautiful cookware. Items arrived well packaged and on time. Thank you to this seller. They are trustworthy and would love to do business with them again.

    Quick shipping, very protective packaging, mostly as described (there were a few more scratches and one small dent in the rim but I knew it was used so I'm not really complaining). Overall, I think it was a great purchase for me.
