That's a bit confusing. If we stick to the orbit, we can't reach other planets or do they have all the planets on the same orbit in this solar system called The Spheres? ? Anyway, when not overthinking, it could mean that this album/project is separated into three parts, yes. Or maybe it is even 3 EPs, which make an album. I guess we are about to find out...

There's nothing that suggests Dave Meyers wasn't asked to make a three part series of music videos for this new era of Coldplay's career ? Maybe they'll tell a story that begins with Chris journeying into the Kaotican city. After all, lots of artists have released music videos that tie into one other. 1 hour ago, CP-EST said: That's a bit confusing.

Interestingly enough, towards the end of the video you can see what looks like two other planets or moons overhead. Due to their size, they're probably moons of Kaotica. You might be onto something with the theory that they'll release a set of three EPs. It'd be different from the conventional idea of how an album is supposed to be released, but artists can be inventive and release albums in non-traditional ways. It's happening more and more often. The latest Gorillaz album is a great example of this.
June 8, 20215 yr I noticed that the Music Of The Spheres intro from the Higher Power video is on exactly the same key as Always in My Head and O, you can literally paste the one over the other and they match. I pasted the "Ooooh don't ever let go" vocal from O and I can also hear some elements matching in timing on where they should be from the O Instrumental to the Music Of The Spheres intro. I don't know if that says anything, but atleast my guess is that it's the opening interlude from the album, like Mylo Xyloto was on MX, and how O was incorporated to Always in my Head and vice versa (O is essentially a stripped down version of Always in my Head with the background vocals "OoOoh don't ever let go" serving as lead vocals.
June 8, 20215 yr So we know that something will be divided in three parts. We also saw Chris running in the end of the video. Could it be a short movie with three music videos ? And the second part could be ... The Race ? Let me dream ?
June 8, 20215 yr Sorry double post but wtf is this ??? Coldplayxtra on Twitter => Chris: “Right now I live in fear of being told off by Phil, who’ll be like ‘you shouldn’t have told anybody about that, we’re gonna surprize people’ - but if you like extremely heavy death metal jazz fusion, you’re going to like what we’re doing” PopCrush Edited June 8, 20215 yr by Eskapist

June 9, 20215 yr There are 12 different "spheres," so I'm guessing each of them represents one song. Maybe there will be more than 12 tracks on the album if we count little instrumental bits such as the Music of the Spheres intro. 5 hours ago, nowayme said: I noticed that the Music Of The Spheres intro from the Higher Power video is on exactly the same key as Always in My Head and O, you can literally paste the one over the other and they match.

This what I was thinking as soon as I first heard it in the Glastonbury live stream. It makes me wonder... will it also be used at the end of the album? Just like how O is sampled in Always In My Head and a snippet of The Escapist is the intro to Life In Technicolor. Ghost Stories and VLVODAAHF go full circle.

I know that it might be a coincidence but all 4 songs (Always in my Head, O, Music Of The Spheres, Higher Power) are in G Minor and the female choir of Always In My Head/O is synchronized perfectly if you layer it over Music Of The Spheres. It works even better if you paste the "OoOoOh don't ever let go". Dunno, Music Of The Spheres might be actually an evolution of Always In My Head, kinda like how Bani Adam was an evolution of Kaleidoscope. Edited June 9, 20215 yr by nowayme

That would make sense nowadays. I work for a label myself. The way Spotify works is that its more engaging to release small bundles because you can effectively boost 1 song per album, ep or single. So could be that they will release a few EP's in 'waterfall' adding a song each few weeks to an EP product. To boost popularity in the systems. Would make sense, spheres, planets. 3 planets, 5 songs each (hope) heheh.

They are 97,8% identical. But (I’m a musician that plays a lot with harmonics), there is a potencial explanation. The (extensive) vocoder used in HH only let out the processed voice and a minimal fraction of the origin voice (instead of Midnight where the ratio is different. Eventually 75% vocoder and 25% dry real voice, so it sound different live always). In HH I bet for a 95% vocoder and a 3-5% dry real voice. So, sadly, it always sounds the same, in particular with an acapella song (with instruments could be different, but lets be honest, our lovely guys are not the king of the live instrumental improvisation, except of course of Chris). The honest sad part in HP and HH, is that those songs are so-studio songs that the adrenaline of live improvisation is lost (and only remains the pyrotechnics). Maybe, in Today Plaza Show on 17th June (with audience), we see something different. I wish it!!!. Otherwise, this is going to be the more plastic Coldplay production, which after a bare bones production like EL, create a confusing and disappointing contrast, at least for me. Cheers everybody!.

MX era versions of GPASUYF would disagree with you. ? But indeed they don't do enough stage improvisation when they're totally good enough to. ? Edited June 9, 20215 yr by MosesTheMarshmallow

June 10, 20215 yr Yeah! Like why would he use those numbers if it wasn't a hidden message. He could have said 49,000 songs... Still maybe we're looking too hard for clues ?
