October 19, 20196 yr The guy on the left of the poster is Sir Frank Watson Dyson, an Astronomer royal who organised an expedition to see the solar eclipse to Brazil in 1919
October 19, 20196 yr Dyson did have some links to Einstein and the guy at the piano may be a very young moustacheless Einstein (looks like him) although in 1919 think Einstein would have looked older?
October 19, 20196 yr The guy on the left of the poster is Sir Frank Watson Dyson, an Astronomer royal who organised an expedition to see the solar eclipse to Brazil in 1919 This would make a lot more sense haha. Didn't Johnny also study astronomy at university? :)

October 19, 20196 yr The guy on the left of the poster is Sir Frank Watson Dyson, an Astronomer royal who organised an expedition to see the solar eclipse to Brazil in 1919 Top idea so far - not sure if it's actually him or not but that guy at the piano is definitely not Einstein. Wondering what to make of this all...but the solar eclipse of 1919 is mightily important in terms of this album.
October 19, 20196 yr I can't upload images anymore for some reason but Timbaland reposted and @ other producers on Instagram.

If it is Sir Frank Watson Dyson, the 1919 eclipse he led an expedition to observe wasn't the one on November 22nd; this was on May 29th. However, both eclipses were visible in mostly the same parts of the world.
October 19, 20196 yr I believe that was Guy. According to wikipedia it was Johnny - he studied astronomy and mathematics!
October 19, 20196 yr Uh-oh timbaland and a couple of associated producers seem to have worked on this album. Really no idea what to make of this album now.
October 19, 20196 yr Ok, guys, look at who reposted that teaser with beatclub... So, yeah, all true experiments hopes now went to the basement, probably, it's just a nice intro before some r'n'b beat dropping, so, yeah...
October 19, 20196 yr I believe that was Guy. That was Jonny, astronomy and mathematics. Guy studied first engineering and then architecture .
October 19, 20196 yr Ok, guys, loook at who reposted that teaser with beatclub... So, yeah, all true experiments hopes now went to the basement, probably, it's just a nice intro before some r'n'b beat dropping, so, yeah... Precisely. I'm now feeling it'll be as experimental as Ghost Stories, if so. Hype dropped
October 19, 20196 yr I believe that was Guy. No, it was Jonny who studied astronomy and mathematics. Guy studied engineering and later architecture. Btw, I was thinking about the 'Wedding Bell Dance Orchestra'. This could mean they will release an album with dance music in the 1919/1920 style. It might also be an album inspired by jazz, because The Original Dixieland Jazzband visited England in 1919.

October 19, 20196 yr Imagine this being XMTS Part II :joy: With that new information about producers, everything's possible...
October 19, 20196 yr Ok, guys, loook at who reposted that teaser with beatclub... So, yeah, all true experiments hopes now went to the basement, probably, it's just a nice intro before some r'n'b beat dropping, so, yeah... Maybe we'll get another song like True Love... They could still do something fairly experimental. Ghost Stories has ASFOS, but it also has Oceans and Midnight.

October 19, 20196 yr Uh-oh timbaland and a couple of associated producers seem to have worked on this album. Really no idea what to make of this album now. Okay, think I gonna sell my hopes for 5 bucks now.
October 19, 20196 yr I wouldn't lose all faith yet. Timbaland worked on O. He just added the drum explosion at the end.
October 19, 20196 yr Someone said that the two producers tagged in timbaland's post were the E-lo producers. Have to say I'm a little disappointed with this info. Similar influences since GS. But trying to keep an open mind. Maybe they would have contributions in some songs and are not the album producers.
October 19, 20196 yr Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Apparently those other producers besides Timbaland are the producers of E-Lo.... :tired_face:
October 19, 20196 yr Precisely. I'm now feeling it'll be as experimental as Ghost Stories, if so. Hype dropped Also if that Malibu video is actually for the upcoming album, can anyone imagine the type of music that was in that snippet coincinding with their outfits and the beach? Barely, so it makes more sense with having something like in the vein these producers work. So, well, anyway, we'll see.
October 19, 20196 yr I think I'm the only person on here who loved E-Lo :joy: I still listen to that song all the time haha:p

That's what it says on Spotify :)
October 19, 20196 yr I don't know what to think. Maybe Timbaland retweeted because he's a friend of the band and previously worked with them. This aesthetic that Coldplay is going for and the clip we've heard, plus the song registered to Jonny, Will and Dan Green, I don't see how they would fit into any of this. I'd rather they weren't involved but I wouldn't die if they produced one song like they did with True Love on GS. Maybe they worked on the "mainstream" album coming in 2020? That's my guess. There's nothing "experimental" about him. I think I'm the only person on here who loved E-Lo :joy: I still listen to that song all the time haha:p Actually, I enjoy the song. I like the cultural vibe of the beats. Could do without the handclaps, though. Overall, wasn't a bad song. But wasn't "Coldplay" either. Hence the different name.
