Past Releases

I've been trying to work out the hidden message in the new artwork of the upcoming Coldplay album X & Y, and its got me baffled. Anyone else heard of the hidden message theory and tried to figure it out?

i have discovered PROOF is going to be a b-side for speed-of-sound.....can anyone send me the version of this song, im guessing its live only as this new one will be a studio recording. [email protected] http://www.toshiba-emi.co.jp/coldplay/discography/speedofsound.htm

Here Is An X&Y 1024x860 Wallpaper For Y'all! Enjoy

Is there an early demo of spies? Does anyone have it??????

Will Coldplay CD do the business? AFTER three years, one celebrity marriage and a two-letter album title that ended up costing £320 million, Britain’s most successful rock band in decades revealed its long-awaited new material at a one-off gig at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles at the weekend. Anticipation has been growing about Coldplay’s new album, X&Y, since the group decided to scrap many of its new songs last summer and go back to the studio. The delay caused more than a quarter of a billion pounds to be wiped off the market value of Coldplay’s record company, EMI Group. EMI’s shares fell 16 per cent after it issued a profit warning last month,…

Im guessing since there is going to be 12 tracks, one more than normal, that there will not be a hidden track like life is for living on this album, X&Y.

For those of us that have heard "Talk", it is obviosully not B-Side material... This could easily be a huge single worldwide, and it's upsetting to see Coldplay throw it away -- Does anyone agree??

If you follow this link - it says Speed of Sound be get it's 1st airplay in the usa on 18-19th April so the UK should be getting it around that time or sooner!!! plus you should be able to click on the song and listen.... :sneaky: http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:pPDrS1y64lgJ:zfmq.fimc.net/Article.asp%3Fid%3D16770+speed+of+sound+airplay&hl=en :smug:

This song is the soundtrack to my life... It's amazing... Oh... My... God... :o

Yesterday (wednesday 6th July) Coldplay played a secret gig in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The setlist: 1. Square One 2. Politik 3. Speed Of Sound 4. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face 5. Warning Sign 6. X&Y 7. Yellow 8. Low 9. The Scientist 10. Til Kingdom Comes 11. Clocks 12. What If ********************* 13. In My Place 14. A Message 15. Amsterdam Footnotes: X&Y features Chris on piano. Very melodic. Beautiful piano outro. Features the lyrics: "You and me surfing on tidal waves, you and me floating in outer space" (... or something like that) Low is the loudest guitar track since Yellow. Guaranteed favourite for the new album…

I know the artwork for each single was supposed to represent the four members of the band, but does anyone know which single goes with each of the members? Thanks

Obviously this is a broad topic and near impossible to accurately predict. But any thoughts/ideas on what you think X&Y's cover is gonna/should look like?

Today in the Q&A on the official site debs was asked if they will have a behind the scenes doucmentary like they had "away day" for AROBTTH. She responded with "we wont have the same thing, but we will be announcing a new and exciting introduction to the site soon, which will be even better than that. Keep your eyes peeled!" What do people think this will be. Perhaps some studio footage with sound bites of each song, after the band has been working on them. You know, we would see clips of them working on songs and hear a little clip of them too, possibly even a promo video from that small gig they did in london, debs said they had cameras in there? Anyway it w…

What are the chances of the guys doing a full band version of gravity as a b-side for one of the singles on X&Y? I would love it.

Does anyone know where I can get the video of the song Trouble??? thanks

This track sounds really interesting to me, but the lyrics are familiar........in TALK we heard "in the silence of the sea" so that caught my attention. Also in X&Y it says tidal wave and in white shadows it talks about sea. The album sounds like there are a lot of water references, as well as space. But this song I think will be mega, beautiful and really great... this album really needs the later tracks like this, twisted logic, low and the hardest part to be great in order to be truly a classic album, or as albie says best ever. We know from the live versions the songs 1-7 will be great, but after that we need these songs to pull through, and they will im sure!

Heres the new album cover We can now reveal the tracklisting for the album is as follows: 1. Square One 2. What If 3. White Shadows 4. Fix You 5. Talk 6. X&Y 7. Speed of Sound 8. A Message 9. Low 10. The Hardest Part 11. Swallowed In The Sea 12. Twisted Logic

Am I the only person who is really glad that The Hardest Part is on the album? From the description of it, it sounds really beautiful and will be another piano classic from Coldplay. The only song left that we know about is Till Kingdom Come. It'll probably be a b-side on SOS and then who knows what will come next. All i know is that I cant wait for this album. The art work looks great.

Hi everyone =) Guess what, I transcribed the lyrics for What If and submitted them! Ian says he'll put them up soon, so I can't wait to see them =p Anyone wanting them NOW should contact me here =p

Right, i know that AROBTTH was amazing but what would peoples tracklists look like if they could substitute b-sides for album tracks and shuffle the tracks about a bit. This seems to be quite a strong topic on other threads. Mine would look like this Politik In My Place One I Love God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Clocks Daylight I Ran Away A Whisper The Scientist AROBTTH Amsterdam

Apparently Coldplay have now recorded and mixed a completely new version of Talk, so perhaps the version thats doing the rounds on the internet at the moment wil never see the light of day! Below is Chris's quote from the issue (out today in the UK) Chris Martin "From that version we went and did a whole other version of it. A whole other song. What happened with the song 'Talk' is that it was all going great and then someone said, 'that should be the first single', and we all just freaked out and scrapped it all. I hate choosing singles, its so hard. We've just mixed it and it sounds great. I think we've had such pain getting to that place, I'm not sure anyone quite k…

Where can i find talk lyrics please ? It´s brilliant song, I love it! With White shadows and What if it´s best song from X&Y!!

I have so many rarities and such but I'm missing the Dutch Song. I had it before on my old computer but thats gone now and so is the audio section on JustSpies.com where I got it originally. If anyone has any of the other really rare/quarky things that JustSpies used to have of their's please let me know or send it to [email protected] Thanks so much. I'd be willing to send you some music that you may not have as well:)

ok guys, one of the popular british newspapers has been given an exclusive listen to the album and here is a paraphrased version of their comments on each track: 1. SQUARE ONE Cert to open live shows. Heavy feel with lots of guitars and haunting lyrics. Chris sings: "Is there anybody out there who is lost and lonely too?" 2. WHAT IF Best song on the album and one of the band's best ever. Chris's soft voice and piano are in full force. When the anticipated guitar sound kicks in, reminiscent of Yellow, the hair on my neck stood on end. A Sergeant Pepper ending. 3. WHITE SHADOWS: Gospel inspired with lots of organ and a very U2 sounding riff. Chris was lis…

My personal opinion is that i think talk should be on the album.I think it could be a huge single for them if the ever release it.The very first time i heard it i got chills and still do everytime i hear.Yea they borrowed the riff from Kraftwerk but they made it into their own song and its just amazing.Johnnys guitar,Will's drums,Chris' vocals,and i love Guy's bass line!Its my favorite song right now.And there are some people bagging on the track saying its not their best or it sounds like they put it together in like 15 mins.OK...sure,those people probably dont even know what they are talkin about because we all know what kind of talent these guys are.But its just amazes…
