When, last Saturday, a Coldplay "torrent" appeared on the Bittorrent network, it was instantly picked up by any and all who had the good fortune in seeing it.
The torrent - those who don't know about Bittorrent, can read up on it here - was labelled as "After After Before," an unknown name to all. So it was quickly grabbed by everyone who had some previous affiliation with the band, instantly thinking it was the greatly anticipated follow-up to 2005's "X&Y." Unfortunately, unbeknownst to many who were caught up in the furore of it all, Coldplay hinted that the new album would be released in 2007 if not later. While an advance copy of an album is not unusual on Bittorrent, a full year before is quite extroardinary, even for the multi-talented pirates of abroad.

Meanwhile, On June 18, 2007, the official site was relaunched with a new design that resembles a journal timeline with hand written excerpts, pictures, and videos. As of June 19, 2007, the website does not contain any new official information on the new album such as release date and album title, but content found on the band's new site (found in an April studio diary) hints at the new album title being called "Prospekt".
