at this point, knowing what direction the band would eventually take, the track has more value as being indicative of where the band would eventually head off to with kidA.

at the time, and keep in mind this was pre-napster, let alone the idea of downloading entire discographies. it sounded out of place, like a piece of filler to split the sides. hell, you could have found it on cassette if you looked hard enough back then.

just because it's an early piece of thom yorke electro-ramblings doesn't automatically make it gold. you like it, fine, i'm gonna keep skipping it.

Roll With It by Oasis on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, it sounds like a filler track but they had the nerve to release it as a single. No wonder Blur won "The Battle of Britpop", with Country House.
