Double-checking, it looks like Futurista was never released outside of Japan and was never well-known elsewhere as a result, so these parallels are most likely coincidental.

** "Fitter Happier" appears to be a homage to Music/RyuichiSakamoto's "Milan, 1909", featuring a text-to-speech voice reading out a lecture while underscored by an unsettling minimalist instrumental. In this case, the lecture about the rise of Futurism and its coopting by the Italian Fascist Party is traded out for an abstract rumination on neoliberal capitalist society.

The band recorded ''OK Computer'' with the intent of presenting a less introspective sound than ''Music/TheBends'', exchanging the personal lyricism and downbeat melodies for a more aggressive, sociopolitical approach. ''OK Computer'' initiated a shift away from the popular {{Britpop}} genre of the time to the more melancholic, atmospheric style of alternative rock. This new sound would be prevalent in the next decade (corroborated by the fact that it released just a few months before Music/{{Oasis}}' ''Music/BeHereNow'', widely considered the GenreKiller for Britpop), and also initiate the band's shift away from their original guitar-heavy approach and into the more experimental territory of their later work.

The album's lyrics and artwork emphasize Radiohead's views on rampant consumerism, social alienation, emotional isolation, and political malaise; in this capacity, ''OK Computer'' is often interpreted as having prescient insight into the mood of 21st century life. In that sense, the album is often considered a SpiritualSuccessor to Music/PinkFloyd's own 1973 BreakthroughHit ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon''. While Radiohead detested such comparisons, they similarly felt a strong sense of ArtistDisillusionment that would result from the album's success, resulting in the even more experimental electronica and jazz directions of their [[Music/KidA next]] [[Music/{{Amnesiac}} two]] albums.
