Radiohead are a British alternative rock band that had most of its fame stemming from the 1990s and 2000s. They are one of the most influential bands of those decades, helping to define the sound of many alternative and indie rock bands to come. Their 1997 album, OK Computer, was, at the time, their most ambitious project. Experimenting with new recording techniques, sound effects, and working with various concepts, it is often considered their masterpiece.
The album went in and out of many phases. At one point the album was supposed to have a music video for every track featured. This idea was later on scrapped for financial reasons, but one music video for the song "Let Down" ended up getting finished. The video has never been released because Yorke thought it was "shite".
The video's producer, Simon Hilton, included the music video for a very short while on his online portfolio of his, albeit in a very early unfinished form, but it was unlinked of his website[1] . The graphics aren't fully synced up with the music, and its generally considered to be "not much of a loss" by most Radiohead fans.
Radiohead finally explored the concept of music videos for an entire album with their 2003 effort, Hail to the Thief.
