Two songs from Radiohead's "OK Computer" on "Westworld" soundtrack

I've been listening to the "Westworld" soundtrack and was amazed at how many covers of late 20th Century rock songs are on it.  Two of them stuck be as being a bit too on the nose, "No Surprises" and "Exit Music - For a Film," both from Radiohead's OK Computer album.  Not only are they from an album with computer in the title, no surprises is what the robots are supposed to deliver.  Here's that track.

The other track actually got used as "exit music for a film" or at least a TV show.

I find both of these selections to be genius and more than a little creepy.

I've not seen the show, but I love those songs.

There are two more Radiohead songs in the show, just not from "OK Computer." The others are "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Motion Picture Soundtrack." I'll have to rewatch the show to see if "Fake Plastic Trees" is in the same episode as "A Forest" by The Cure.

Two commenters on YouTube have mentioned to other songs from "OK Computer" that they hope are used on future seasons, "Paranoid Android" and "The Tourist." I don't know if the music would work, but the titles are perfect!
