One can intermittently get nice effects when synchronizing just about anything "right." In many cases, you get an extra spark of melody and a sense of a fragmented polyrhythm. And everyone knows that if you cue two tracks playing together of the same music mere fractions of a second apart, on say, two separate tape decks, you get lots of cool-sounding, phasing, doppler-wave shifts. Thing is, much of Radiohead's later music is just suited to this type of thing a little moreso than a lot of other bands. That's about all that needs to be written about this.
