....How would you sequence it? Obviously you'd have to get rid of one of the versions of the following songs Life in Technicolor, Lost, and Lovers In Japan.....but after making the necessary changes, how would you sequence the 18 tracks?

Here's a thread I made earlier in multimedia on this matter:

[/shameless_plug] :P

 

Edit: Although, the thread is about making a single album using tracks from both albums, and not a double album, so I guess that its not really the same thing.

I actually made these into playlists and they sound amazing :)

They flow much better than the actual album/EP

 

Ideally, the main album's opening would have the intro from LIT spliced onto the beginning of LIT2; but I don't have the technical prowess to accomplish this feat haha

alternatively to my playlist in the multimedia thread:

 

VIVA LA VIDA

 

Life in technicolor (with lyrics)

Lost!

Viva la vida

Lovers in Japan (Osaka sun mix)

DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS

 

Violet hill

Chinese sleep chant

If Death will never conquer (hidden track)

I posted this one in the other thread, so might as well post it here. Mine is based on the middle painting in the booklet for Viva la Vida, keeping the running order of the album and adding the EP songs in with the songs they are listed next to in the painting.

 

1. Life in Technicolor (mash-up of LiT + LiT ii, still retains the segue into CoL.)

2. Cemeteries of London

3. Lost!

(Postcards from Far Away [hidden track])

4. 42

5. Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love

6. Prospekt's March/Poppyfields

7. Yes

(Chinese Sleep Chant [Hidden Track])

8. Glass of Water

9. Viva la Vida

10. Violet Hill

11. Strawberry Swing
