🪐 Coldplay: Music of the Spheres 🪐 | Out Now! | Discussion

Human Heart is an acapella song, but why don't the four of them sing it? They did a lot of acapella singing while working with Brian Eno. Will has a great voice and so has Guy who has been a singer for his band Apparatjik and also Jonny doesn't sing badly. An acapella song with all the four of them singing - that would really be great!

[CP-EST]

I don't know if it's said anywhere, but these number combinations on postcards definitely seem to be coordinates and form a shape over Iran. I found out in reddit that there is 6 different combinations of these numbers and wrote them with last number being after point (for example 26.7, 50.2). I mean it could be coincidence that it forms a shape over Iran, because it could be some other obscure coordinate system.. This is definitely weird, Coldplay or not.

I love When I need a friend, it gives me ghosebumps and HH sounds a bit like it ❤️

Human Heart es una canción a capella, pero ¿por qué no la cantan los cuatro? Hicieron mucho canto a capella mientras trabajaban con Brian Eno. Will tiene una gran voz y también Guy, que ha sido cantante de su banda Apparatjik, y Jonny no canta mal. Una canción a capella con los cuatro cantando, ¡sería genial!

Maybe in live

Watching the Red Nose mini-concert today I couldn't help thinking that something big is coming our way.

The boys are rehearsing a lot - first at the London Palladium, now at the Alexandra Palace...

That also leads me to think that the album is most likely done (if it were not, they would mostly be at studios and have the majority of their gear there)...

I also noticed that for today, beside Phil's filming the mini-concert, the setup was to film professionally something else...

Let's wait and see...

It looks like people are really beginning to doubt that Coldplay is behind the postcards and poster in London. But I can't think of who else would be doing it at all. Maybe it's like those random monoliths people were building around the world.

Whatever this is, it's pretty neat. Definitely feels like Coldplay because it's not too different from what they did when they teased Everyday Life. It's just awfully soon after they first launched the Alien Radio teaser site and social media accounts. And it's worth noting that the Alien Radio social media accounts have been silent for about a week. It could be that they're trying to shift the focus to the postcards.

It could be that Higher Power comes from Kaotica but these postcards are supposed to be from aliens on a completely different planet, so naturally they're giving these new teasers a different aesthetic as opposed to what they used for Higher Power and Alien Radio. ?

Redditors recipients of postcards might have finally found what they had in common - they purchased something on a website called 'iam8bit', which seems to be heaven for gamers. So it's likely to be a videogames developing studio teasing a new game.

I think we can only safely assume there will be 12 albums released. ?

Hi, I am relatively new here. So, hello.

I have been watching Phil's backstage tour from yesterday's Tictok. And thought if the postcards are from Coldplay...there might be a confirmation hidden in the tour. Why was he doing one? It felt a bit odd to me. I might be overthinking this, but here is what I noticed:

- Several references to an arrival ('Band coming', 'Someone might be coming'...)

- 'Down these GREEN steps.' I heard you, Phil. I heard you. 

- So, the arrows and taping on the floor is green to Phil

- Guy's base had that neon green colour on it

- When he says: 'Someone running' a green shape appears on the screen (and is followed by)

- The torch and the spotlight on the floor

-? 'Nothing's changed' x 2 ? Maybe a Bowie reference? 

- 'I hear noises...it's all very dark.'  Like your postcards and the telephone calls.

What do you think? Might be going a bit crazy here, but who knows!

It is right under our nose...on Red Nose day.

I came on during Viva, what did they play before that?

Edit: Found out they did Paradise. How cool!

Also I think HH will be on the album because Chris has got a heart-symbol on his jacket. 

At the Tiktok gig there were camera tracks around the circle. Makes me think they were filming more stuff.

yeah especially E3 coming soon enough, also the game probably teased in this is bethesda's Starfield which features a lot of hexagons in its game

And if I'm not wrong we have a precedent with The Goldrush having all the band singing and I think also Brian Eno helped a little with some vocals ?

That could be case, I mean why would they use all that setup if Phil would be walking around he could've had an accident (I was kind of nervous during the concert because of that lol)

After reading this, I was like, "of course there must be something behind this behind the scenes thing... how come I didn't think about it before?" Ahaha anyways, I went to check and there are 2 additional things that caught my attention:

1. Phil points the camera at everything that is fluorescent green with special attention to the reflective vest. Why would he do it? The postcards are fluorescent green...

2. He focused a lot on the piano on the backstage and I took some prints. There are 3 symbols that could be the same as the ones on the postcards. Check it below: 

[Su_Xyloto]

There is also a moment where we see "H4", "Paladium" and "28/10". I don't understand the first 2 things, but the third could be a date?

Finally there is another thing that I don't understand on the images we have seen of "they are coming". The order of the "letters" changes so it's not really a word. What do you think? Check it below:

This could also be a continuation of Coldplay's gaming partnership. Looks like E3 will start on 12th June, and there's also Summer Game Fest happening in June, which iam8bit are involved in. maybe Coldplay will make an appearance?

Very hard to crack if that's a secret code

[Famous_Old_Painter]

This is totally random, but one of the symbols looks a bit like the symbol for Pluto. 

[Famous_Old_Painter]

Random again:

Capricorn

 

Edit: Almost the same symbol as Saturn. 

Well I can't find any other resemblance with planets or other space symbols in the other symbols do it's really a long shot.

I just got two diff post cards at work today. The only interesting thing about this is I had the higher power cd shipped here. I have never order anything from I am 8 bit. Strange.

I got a postcard today with the top image on it, specifically the numbers in the exact same order along with the arrows but just the n shaped design on the bottom. There are also two spheres, one fully green and the other with longitudinal lines from top to bottom. It says "They're coming" at the top and at the bottom is the number 310,582. I just got my Higher Power CD about a week ago. 

[Famous_Old_Painter]

Do you think these are related to Coldplay? I'm starting to doubt it. 

[deltadon]

The style of art work doesn’t seem to match. I kept the post cards just in case it pans out to be Coldplay. Very random that it showed up at work.

Well if it does link with Coldplay, and you said you had had your HP CD shipped at work address, then seems logical. But from what I've seen most of the recipients are not Coldplay fans
