Thom has said it is the same track, but it's been seriously re-worked. And now sounds like something else altogether. I'd say he's half right. The lyrics, and the vocals are virtually identical, except the mumbling bit at the end (remember? 'walking, walking walking walking') part isn't included. And the music is very different. Like a very dark old vampire type theme (sometimes I don't know where I pull these comparisons from). In any case, there's more piano, some acoustic guitar, and much more violin. It's a lot spookier, and shorter. Whether it's better, that's for you to decide. I prefer the Kid A version, but this is by no means a poor track. The old one probably wouldn't fit well on this album. This track is very interesting, though.

When asked by fans why Morning Bell, is also featuring on Amnesiac, Yorke said the track was "barely recognisable". He joked that the new version "sounds like 'Tales Of The Unexpected'".

This track goes under various names, such as 'Amnesiac/Morning Bell', 'Morning Bell/Amnesiac' or 'The Morning Bell Bell Amnesiac'.
