Three years before those early sessions, Peter Gabriel released Eve, an earnestly odd CD-ROM adventure featuring bizarre dreamscapes soundtracked by his own music, which the player could collect and remix. We’ve seen dozens of collaborations between musicians and videogames since, but Kid A Mnesia is perhaps the first that feels like it belongs to the same lineage. It’s effectively a virtual museum tour meets avant-garde walking simulator, with sequences that suggest Tetsuya Mizuguchi adapting the lightshow from a Radiohead concert (as well as one or two moments that suggest Jeff Minter was fighting him for the controls).
