The question was, obviously, what the hell do you do after releasing OK Computer? If you keep going down that path, it's a long slide to irrelevance, and given their restlessness, boredom.
So, *hard* pivot, more studios, picking up on the extant electronica trend, but making it theirs.
On release I was pretty shocked & disappointed, and it took a while to embrace, but embrace it I have. Mingus-like, indeed.
