[edit] Track listing
- "No Surprises" – 3:49
- "Pearly*" (remix) – 3:38
- "Melatonin" – 2:08
- "Meeting in the Aisle" – 3:07
- "Bishop's Robes" – 3:23
- "A Reminder" – 3:51
Note the inclusion of "Meeting in the Aisle", Radiohead's first completely instrumental track.
This "remixed" version of "Pearly*" (as opposed to the "original version" available on the "Paranoid Android" single and Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP) features clearer production values, louder guitar at the beginning of the song, and a different guitar line at the end. The song "Bishop's robes" refers to Yorke's experience of cruelty at school. Though he claims that he suffered no physical punishment as a schoolboy, violence was felt in ghastly mind-games, and in the teacher's cruelty: hence the (Morrisseyesque) line "bastard headmaster".
