RunForTheHills Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well to celebrate this new section, let's kick it off with a new thread! Do you think Coldplay will ever do an instrumental track like LIT again? Or will this be the last one for a long while yet? Personally I hope they don't hesitate from trying more instrumental tracks in the future - they pulled this one off brilliantly :D Discuss!

MasoKnight Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'd love to see more instrumentals not only to start off an album but in the middle of albums as well. One of my biggest issues with X&Y was that instruments would build and build, but they would never get the spotlight because Chris would sing over them (What if, Low, for example). That problem has been corrected somewhat on VLV (The middle of 42, parts of DAAHF and Yes, and even going so far as to use Chris's voice as an instrument on Chinese Sleep Chant), but on the next album I'd like to see them extend this idea to full-fledged multi-minute instrumentals like Doves or The Flaming Lips might do. I'd say they're heading in the right direction, though. And it's about time Coldplay's instruments start getting some attention. Edit: And now that I see the poll choices, I'll add this. Instrumentals shouldn't be done just for the sake of being "musical" or "experimental". Life in Technicolor is a genuinely good and pleasing song, and it never feels like it's been added just to aim at some musical credibility.

the_gloaming09 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think that they should definetly do more instrumentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarboy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I can't believe they left is as an instrumental track. The reason being that the build in that song is incredible, and dare I say it, better than Where The Streets Have No Name. When the drums start bubbling in, you just sit there waiting for it to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasia87 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I love "Life in technicolor." I thought that it really starts the flow for the rest of the album and I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 no instrumentals in the next album, maybe farther down the road, but it would have to be far different from LIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK8 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 It was fantastic and they should do it again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open-Politik Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think its brilliant but maybe if they do it again (and soon) it will seem tried and boring. Like its done it before. They kinda re-invented themselves with an instrumental but there gonna have to do something different. But in a few albums times it would be better not to. Just think 110 album songs and only one is instrumental. It just makes it that much more special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrea25 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yes there will be definitively another instrumental by Coldplay... Postcards from far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmotor Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Coldplay has to make more instrumental numbers.that would be really cool.i didn't like it that the runtime of LIT1 was so short.and i hope there will be instrumental numbers from them that have a longer runtime.

Macintosh Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Now they have only LIT and Postcards... I wish Parachutes was instrumental one with 2-3 minutes length :rolleyes2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Message Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I don't really like Postcards, but LiT is just reaaaally awesome. So if they can come up with something as catchy, I hope they put it on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
