Don't quote me on that though because I am by no means an expert! I changed my system time to the 21st April and used the wayback machine to see the website on that same date and there was still 4 dots filled. If one of them plays The Fall of Man then I wonder what the others play?

Yes i know this was one of the first steam engines... oh yeah, but why the roocket. I mean, have there been rockets in 1829? Yes maybe.. wait I'll google it (keyboard typing sounds). Give me a second. ah ok I've found an article here. Yes, I'm reading it right now. It say's, the rocket could be for the drive. They had fireworks in china in the 10th century and guns that look like rockets in the 14th century. yes, but here it say's, that Stephensons named it after a british military gun from 1804. They have been super fast and covered long distances. So it's a bit like a train. Apparently in York, yes in England. I would really like to see it" So it's about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephenson's_Rocket --> The locomotive was preserved and displayed in the Science Museum in London until 2018. It is now on display at the National Railway Museum in York. Whatever that means according to the music?

I just wonder if it's going to continue the MX storyline, or if it's going to have entirely different themes. I'm thinking it'll be the latter, just because MX wasn't anywhere near as focused on outer space as these teasers have been... though it's worth noting that the MX comics state that the story doesn't take place on Earth, Silencia is a different world and its inhabitants are similar to humans but look noticeably different.

April 25, 20215 yr Should be interesting to see if they add an extra track to their Japanese CD version of LP9. I think this has been the case for most of their albums since X&Y, except for VIVA.

I mean, the more the better, right? Is always amazing to have another exclusive song among the standard track listing of, for example, 10 songs and going to 11 lol. Everyday Life was "complete" when I could include Flags on it when the album was released worldwide.

This! Coldplay have always had this fascination with space that hasn't directly translated to an album - X&Y was spacey rock but didn't have any other references to space aside from Twisted Logic, Square One, and X&Y. Mylo had a similar feel, but never directly referenced space aside from Moving to Mars. What's odd is that, given that Eno is one of the greatest ambient artists ever and has done spacey songs like Ending (An Ascent), it seemed only a matter of time before Coldplay took the same route - which we saw on Moving to Mars and Aliens. My dream is still for a bunch of these songs - gigantic space rock epics, glistening synths, chiming and echoing guitars, loud percussion, dreamy piano, and moments of mournful and beautiful ambience that reflects space. If the songs were experimental or sounded like this in any way - take All I Can Think About is You as an example - then I think this would be one of their greatest. We have Jon Hopkins potentially coming back, the Dream Team from Everyday Life, maybe Eno and Markus Dravs on the pre-Mylo and pre-Ghost Stories songs, and Jacob Collier (who does beautiful songs as well). It might be a dream that comes to fruition very soon, but we'll just have to wait and see. There was so much creativity found in Viva and Mylo that seems to have been directed towards a space rock album, so hopefully now is the right time. I also feel really good because this hype and promotion campaign is the greatest they've ever done - so many hints, easter eggs, clues, unreleased songs, samples, even references to the earlier space album I was talking about. The ambitious teasers they've put out signify a much more ambitious (even if it might be pop) album than A Head Full of Dreams or Ghost Stories. Keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

No idea how to do it myself, this is actually the first time I've touched a svg file This probably isn't going anywhere and I've put way too much thought in this but hey, it's not like we have something better to do, right? I could save it out as an .ai and bring it into After Effects pretty easily to animate the progression it's pretty late for me right now but i could do this in the morning ?
April 25, 20215 yr 33 minutes ago, I ran away said: White Shadows, Speed of Sound and the Talk video would like a word? true, those are also space-y songs. In hindsight I may have forgotten a few more as well. But neither X&Y nor Mylo are explicit space albums. That's the message I was trying to get across.

"Could these ‘crosshaired’ objects represent the Sun and Moon? The only time this year when they line up near this position (where the Sun is below the Big Dipper and the Moon is to its right) is September 3-4, 2021. Release date? (9/3 is a Friday)" It would explain why they keep showing these and the constellations in the source code, wouldn't it? That is an intriguing idea! I had a completely different idea about it:

Highly doubt that it would be either a direct continuation of MX story or universe. Coldplay don't do the same thing twice. If they following directly and officially on Mylo, there would be very telling signs on the website (like the graffiti or direct references to songs). That's not really the case here, except for maybe 1 symbol and a vibe that indeed is a bit reminiscent of MX and its comics. It's very possible though that LP9 includes bits and songs that were originally made and scrapped during/after MX, but in a different form and different titles that originally planned, probably. That's their usual MO.
April 25, 20215 yr It's a new story I think that has its background from Viva/Mylo, like most of the things they recorded afterwards. I think the theory about these stories might be that there is a song title in each of them. Or at least a reference to something (like Rabbit Hole). Neon Moon, Higher Power now surely on the album. But all of this feels like a great concept album.
April 25, 20215 yr Station 62/ARFM 10 : the story keeps mentioning the phrase "Hold on", which could definitely be a Coldplay lyric from another album track as well.
