Radiohead's The King Of Limbs is a compact, rhythm-obsessed puzzle box from 2011, and this CD edition delivers all eight of its restless, looping tracks.

Arriving with almost no warning, the band's eighth album saw them leaning further into the electronic textures and sampled grooves that had long fascinated them. Working again with longtime producer Nigel Godrich, they built many of the songs from layered loops and live playing, creating something that sounds both organic and machine-tooled at once.

Bloom sets the scene with skittering percussion, fluttering horns and a bassline that circles like a tide, while Lotus Flower, famous for Thom Yorke's hypnotic dancing in its video, pulses with a falsetto melody that feels quietly seductive. Phil Selway's drumming, looped and layered, is the secret heartbeat of the whole record.

The second half drifts somewhere softer. Codex is a hushed piano ballad steeped in reverb and solitude, and Separator closes things with a gentle, chiming guitar figure that feels like waking from a long dream.

Short at under forty minutes yet dense with texture and detail, The King Of Limbs rewards patience, and repeated listens reveal just how carefully every flicker and shimmer has been placed within its shifting, intricate rhythms.
