i think this is a life in technicolour ll situation all over again with mx. Its going to be a full length song with lyrics and it will be EPIC!

It's a normal thing to start a modern album with a short instrumental. It's called "Intro" in most of the albums, but it can have other names too. Actually I think it's genial.

the official lengths of all the songs on MX are on the allmusic website/wiki.

MORE IMPORTANTLY... Has anyone noticed - and I think I'm right in saying this - that if you say the syllables "My-lo-xy-lo-to" at the same time as each Xylophone strike in Mylo Xyloto, it fits perfectly into each bar... That's hard to explain, anyone know what I mean though? If so, is it a coincidence??

Is it like:

Myyyyyyy-loooooooooo xy(fast)-lo(fast)-to(fast)

Myyyyyyy-loooooooooo xy(fast)-lo(fast)-to(fast)

Myyyyyyy-loooooooooo xy(fast)-lo(fast)-to(fast)

Myyyyyyy-loooooooooo xy(fast)-lo(fast)-to(fast)

 

?

It's very nice. I've never noticed that

I noticed that, too :awesome:

The Hamish and Andy interview in Australia from last week!

 

Yep, that's the one! He went: My-lo Xy-lo-to :lol:

I'm just watching that interview now... And yes he does mention it, cool! I genuinly didn't see this interview before I posted about that Xylophone thing awesome

It wont sound exactly like it does on the festivals because MX and HLH obvously two seperate tracks. However it seems like it wont be a full song. According to allmusic (http://www.allmusic.com/album/mylo-xyloto-r2272103) MX is 42 seconds and the overall length is between 44 and 45 minutes. That makes sense, doesn't it?

 

I really hope MX will be a full track, but after this, I doubt it.

*****UPDATE*****

Mylo Xyloto is a short instrumental.

i like MX cause this song short, i set phone's ringtone
