Paranoid Android is a great single, but of course when you buy this particular one, you get two great b-sides. Sure, you can get Ok Computer for ... more, but why not get both?

This single for "Paranoid Android" has two wonderful other songs on it "A Reminder" and "Melatonin." The really cool part is that you can see that this was the beginning transformation to Kid A, especially in "A Reminder," a smooth drums, guitar, keyboard and tinge of electronica song with Thom's Ok Computer like singing.

"Melatonin" is quite short but has a wonderful classical sound, with keyboards opening, and Thom's singing. Very slow and pretty. Not quite like ANY OTHER Radiohead song, and that says a lot.

The CD does not run much more than ten minutes, and its not an alternate version of "Paranoid Android," so please be aware of that. Quite good, recommended for all collectors of Radiohead b-sides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reminder, June 20, 2004

In case anybody is interested, the song "reminder" has a foreign language dubbed onto the beginning of the recording. The language is Czech, and it was recorded on the subway at one of the stops in Prague. The Czech is "Ukoncite vystup a nastup. Dvere se zaviraji." In English it means, "Stop entering and exiting. The doors are closing." Then it says "Pristi stanice" or "Next stop" and it lists one of the stops on the Yellow line. Just another example of the brilliance of Radiohead to pull the overhead announcement from a subway in Eastern Europe and put it on a recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much better cut., December 12, 2011

This review is from: Paranoid Android (MP3 Download)

There is a slight difference between single version and the album version of Paranoid Android. On OK Computer, the track's four beepy note lead-in was attached to the end of Airbag, but it is properly at the beginning of Paranoid Android on the single version.

Paranoid Android is an absolutely amazing song, and that strange track cut difference still kinda infuriates me to this day.
