Viva was '08

seemms like late 2010 will be

Late 2010 makes sense financially too. The christmas period is always more fruitful from a physical CD sales perspective. EMI will really be pushing for it to be released then so that they can maximise sales - something they desperately need with all the financial trouble they're in.

I guess it's just up to Coldplay making an effort to finish it before it would get mixed in September/October. Allow time for pressing, and yeah December is a possibility. Surely they have enough time.

Yeah it did. June 2008

I might be alone in wanting a really dark album. I absolutely love the epicness sound of Politik, and the haunting melodies of Amsterdam. I'd love for them to make more songs like that.

But, whatever they put out I'm looking forward to. Whether it's like any of the previous 4 albums, or something new entirely, I'm sure I'll love it

AerodynamiX · 10-08-2010, 10:50 AM

If the album is coming out around christmas, when can we expect the first single? I guess that would be around October/November since Violet Hill was launched as the firste single of VLVODAAF a few months before the release of the album.

Thoughts?

The Final Track · 10-08-2010, 03:52 PM

Single for Christmas, album for feb?

A Famous Old Painter · 10-08-2010, 04:27 PM

Sounds good

Fingers crossed for 'Spanish Rain' as first single!!

@ A Famous Old Painter

I can guarantee you that LP5 is going to be something completely else then VLVODAAHF

, So I think that Spanish Rain is never going to be released officialy.

This entry has been moved to the Coldplay section as a new thread.

I'm not ceretain that this is the right thread for this, but here goes:

What we know, and have been speculating and making wishes about concerning LP5 is, naturally, the creative process involved and the music's production. How do these guys do it? What will it sound like? Wonderfully exciting stuff for a fan like me.

But what I'm interested in learning about at the moment is the nuts and bolts and the especially the timing required in rolling out an album once the artist, producer and guest artists are finished in the studio. So here are some questions along these lines, for discussion and my enlightenment:

1. At what point does a visual concept (the logos, albumn art, website, video themes etc.) get decided?

2. When is the release date decided? When is it announed? How far in advance of the release date is the manufacture of LP's and CD's arranged and done?

3. When is it decided that a tour will happen, and what it will be like? How are cities and venues chosen? Why in that order? When are suppporting artists booked?

4. At what point does video production enter the planning?

5. How and when are interviews and guest spots on radio and TV in suppport of the album and tour planned?

6. In all these processes, the band is clearly involved, but beyond them, who does what? What is the role of the band's Manager, the record company?

In other industires, I know, Project Managers have complex charts that detail all the above and much more. There are unnumerable tasks involved, but I'm mostly interested in the timing and approximate order of them in the music industry. Also, if you know of any literature or other media that might educate me, please let me know.

Thanks all.
