The arrangement of "November," which was originally a classical chamber music piece, is explicitly Bjork-influenced; Radiohead partially inspired "Wild Blue."

Hi,
I reiterate that 'Freak In' remains one of my absolute favorite of Dave's records, and agree with Skip that Miles's 'Decoy' provides a key for some of it. So do 'OK Computer' and 'Vespertine.'
Damn, now I *have* to hear it, since I love 'Decoy' (but have somehow managed not to have heard any Radiohead before 'Kid A' except hearing 'Creep' and 'Karma Police' on the radio).
I can't really see how "Freak In" would be related to Radiohead's or Björk's mentioned albums at all. While I think that the compositions in "Freak In" could loosely work without the electronics element as a straight-ahead jazz album, imo "OK Computer" and specially "Vespertine" would lose a very high percentage of their appeal. These seem to trust much more in technology as an integrated element than "Freak In" does, and I have strong doubts about how those two albums could work in a more "physical" way, that is, performed by a standard guitar-bass-drums band, for instance.
