Anyone know what language this new snippet is?Β https://alienradio.fm//wp-content//uploads//2021//04//ARFM-9-1.mp3

in the sitemap, the corresponding station is called czech, but it's not Czech....

I doubt it's from Slavic group at all. Slavic ones have quite a lot in common,Β and I speak a few of them, but I can't seem to understand a single word even remotely.

Guys on Twitter said it's not Hungarian either.Β Β

Someone else suggested Persian? I tried making Google translate listen to it and translate it from Persian but it didn't understand anything

then again, when I make Google translate listen to the Dutch snippet for instance, it doesn't understand either lol

edit: apparently it's not Persian either

This was just uploaded to Coldplay's Twitter. Looks like they're really promoting the album this time around!

Spoiler

Jokes aside, I hope Coldplay does more experimentation this time around. There were some good songs on Everyday Life, but it felt like half the album was just interlude tracks. There were only three or four actual tracks on the album that I can remember off the top of my head. Perhaps they could try a disco track like the Dr Dre remix of Miss You (it's groovy, baby)? Earlier in the thread I joked that there was going to be a 20-minute gothic rock opera, but I think something like David Bowie's Blackstar - a long song that tells a story in detail - could work well. Or maybe a ballad, like All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem or Nothing But A Fool by New Order. I'd also like to se Coldplay be more 'rocky' and make something like Crystal by New Order.

I still think the album is Music of the Spheres and Higher Power is just the name of the first single. They mightΒ be doing something like Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall in 2011 and releasing a Higher Power EP with a few new songs before the full album is ready to go. But I doubt that's the case. This is a big teaser campaign and they usually only do this kind of thing when the first single of the upcoming album is about to drop.

After viewing the latest ad, I decided to hunt down the various symbols. I know of most of them however some like theΒ triangle one was new to me. Hope it helps.

Β  Asterism: ⁂ (in this star design) ✧       

Β  Minus sign inside Triangle: β¨Ί

    Infinity: ∞

Β  Β  Atom:Β βš›

Β  Β Fish-cake (?):Β ?

It's hard for me to find the spiral Unicode. More like this shape:Β

Dunno if anyone made an alien alphabet yet,Β so I decided to use what ColdplayXtra has made.

This one is outdated - find the latest one in this amazing Google Document where fans compiled all the info about Alien Radio: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fpj1-mEXKxeQpm5GBrtL8wdIR4bDHOGRVCOsOxFoBvs/edit

Definitely not random. I think it has to be connected to someone working on the album with them, as some other recordings are (Pilar Zeta, Rabbit Hole, maybe also Mila FΓΌrstova)

My theory was Max Martin who may be part of the producers (as we know that at least Chris visited him in Stockholm last year), but their collaboration is not confirmed at all, so it's probably somebody else, maybe someone we already know who often works them. Who could that be?

All of Coldplay was in Sweden, remember that bathroom tile or something in the Swedish studio where they signed their names?

So yeah I do think it could reference Max Martin...

sorry I havent been able to decode, i've been busy today. I see that someone updated the alphabet, thanks guys! so psyched, set a reminder for the may 7 release of higher power, whether it's an ep or single (peesonally I think itll likely be a single, looking at past single releases). i checked out the document and read up on here and im amazed at the amount of progress made!

p.s: sorry for any formatting errors im doing this on my phone ?
