Meta-critique
The eclectic analysis of
Idioteque by Radiohead generated much information on the track and of the world it is composed in. The heavy usage of first or second hand accounts on information lends credence to the writing. Being able to hyperlink the reader all across the web, via blog, to a variety of informational sources not only gives the author credibility, but invites them into the world in which the researcher saw, and perhaps entice them to continue studying the material. The global digital community in which the writer and readers exist allow for a wealth of information to be exchanged. Research for this writing was made possible by YouTube uploads, blog posting, on-line print databases, communal digital encyclopedias, and more.
While the author has attempted to make all connections to music examples and information references clear, there are limitations to the presentation method. One music read, click, listen, scroll...etc. It can be a little much. Secondly, a discussion of production techniques would have generated more data regarding the song that all included methods disregard. A method devised by
William Moylan attempts to codify recording technique and affect. Perhaps this article will inspire a reader to do so.
