Thom Yorke's mixtape for Late Junction, BBC Radio 3's late-night programme of adventurous music, went out on Thursday 8 November, about half an hour of the 90-minute show. He opens it with Radiohead's “Burn the Witch” and puts his own “Suspirium” fifth.

It comes soon after the hour of atmospheric records he chose for BBC Radio 6 Music's Slow Sunday, and where that was atmospheric, most of this is experimental. Jamie Muir, once King Crimson's percussionist, plays with the guitarist Derek Bailey. Dancing Astronaut picks out a thread of odd things done with the human voice running through it. Faust turn up twice and have the last word.

The mixtape, as the BBC lists it (reports that count 20 add four pieces the programme played after it, Nathan Bowles's among them)
