Hi, can someone please point me in the right direction with these leaks? I'm logging in (to this website but also the coldplay fandom generally) after an eternity so it's insane to me that there's so many new demos I could potentially be soundtracking my life to. Feels like Christmas. So if someone could please be Santa, I'd really appreciate that. 🫶

Crazy to see this has finally hit the mainstream news - what a mess.

The game unfortunedly goes on with the investigation about who paid her money to get those stolen tracks…

A few things: 

1. I’m thankful that the mods here don’t (for the most part) shut down discussion about the leaks here. The difference between here and other Coldplay discussion sites is deafening. They are scared of even hinting at discussing it. But whether they talk about it or not, it still affects and is relevant to the fandom to discuss. 
 

2. 291,941 tracks were stolen. Only 40 were extracted and sold online. I’m assuming many many of those 291,941 are stems or slight variations of the same songs (i.e the AHFOD folder) but that’s A LOT. Many of those are not even Coldplay but that is a treasure trove of material. I wonder how many tracks sold have leaked and which are still waiting to be. I also wonder what is in that material that never sold 

3. I wonder if Alphabetica is a relatively new idea from the band and if these leaks prompted at least the discussion of releasing previously unreleased material. I forget which band it is, but another band had unreleased material leaked and then they just released it themselves begrudgingly. I wonder if Coldplay might do the same thing.

That was Radiohead, they released the stolen material for a limited time on Bandcamp with all proceeds to Extinction Rebellion. I know another case of this happening which prompted the record label of another artist releasing a surprise album with, disappointingly, only some of the leaked tracks. But all of this is making me excited for the eventual Coldplay vault album.

Hey! Can I ask what Alphabetica is?

Because in one interview for Moon Music (I think the one with Zane Lowe) Chris hinted at a possible unreleased material album as one of the possible works the band might undertake once the final album has been released. Are you referring to this? That's all I know about it by the way!

Whatever the next stage looks like, Martin wants to pay homage to all those songs that have arrived over the decades but didn’t fit within the “picture frame” of any given album. “One day we’ll do a thing called Alphabetica, which will be lots of outtakes and songs that didn’t fit anywhere, but we’ll release them in a compendium. We’ll do a song that begins with A, and one that begins with B, because there’s enough to do that —we don’t have any spare songs with Q. That’s the one I’m stuck with.”

I know the page looks a little broken but 12ft helps to bypass the paywall.
