Mrk Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think that melody played on the xylophone was just an idea that then evolved into the MX intro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 i don't think so. musically, they are totally different. MX is basically 4 notes, just octaved and tremolo-picked resp. quickly played like a triller just with the octaves on the piano; it's a downward melody in a regular 4/4 time signature accented on the beat. there are no drums this xylophone piece however uses actual chords, they are broken up and the boys play 3 notes per chord (or rather 6 notes since it's 2 lines with 3 notes). the melody is kind of upwards directed and it's played in an off-beat style i guess. also, you can clearly hear at least the bass drum. not connected in my opinion - except maybe the known MX from live is just the beginning of the full mylo xyloto which would be this piece then.... but i have not checked the keys yet so i can't tell if that is possible.

Samuel_94 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yeah, could be. I cant think they would use a Xylophone on many songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I don't think so. I hope we get to hear a full song of MX just like Life In Technicolor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanif94 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I prefer the melody from the first video actually. :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fix42YellowClocks Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't think it's the same. Could have been the precursor though. Speaking of Roadie blogs, we haven't had any in three weeks. Not. Cool. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't think so. I hope we get to hear a full song of MX just like Life In Technicolor the problem i see: Life in Technicolor: 2:30min Mylo Xyloto: ~40sec LiT used to be a song before LiTii, but MX is just an intro part so far, I can't really see how they will develop a full song (which I consider is at least let's say 2:30-3:00min) out of that bit... Maybe they will surprise us greatly =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebouncer12345 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 This sounds more like a Christmas song than MX. Not close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 For all we know it could be, especially since the Oracle said what we heard was just a shorted intro of Mylo Xyloto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancakesTheBand Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 the problem i see: Life in Technicolor: 2:30min Mylo Xyloto: ~40sec LiT used to be a song before LiTii, but MX is just an intro part so far, I can't really see how they will develop a full song (which I consider is at least let's say 2:30-3:00min) out of that bit... Maybe they will surprise us greatly =D If you remember during the Viva tour, Coldplay played an abridged version of LiT (about a minute long, as well as LiTii later in the setlist) before playing Violet Hill. These two song opened most concerts (correct me if I'm wrong). This could be the exact thing they are doing with MX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Well whatever it is, I hope it's on MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 And I think it will be because there's a reason Roadie posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlipBack Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 And I think it will be because there's a reason Roadie posted it. I don't think that's good reasoning. It was posted a long time ago, I don't think anybody really knew what would/wouldn't be on the album back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotFever Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Wha? the xylophone stuff, I think it's some part of one new song... :P. Maybe scrapped :phu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Considering the video was posted quite awhile ago, it could have been a really early version of MX (which we have only heard the intro to thus far at the festivals). I'm certainly not going to rule it out. Or maybe the whole point was that they wanted to show us that Guy can do more than just play bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
