I really LOVE the chord progression over the "whooa" part - especially the bass line

[video=youtube;1QTWnd3bnaw] hahah terribly sorry but i can't help it, the piano intro just keeps reminding me of Anastacia's "You'll Never Be Alone" :D anyone else?

gosh... not again... seems to be this is like the 4th song of this album we've heard so far that as far as the composition goes is reaally beautiful - but just badly produced... :/

haha yeah same for me with the Zurich show. apparently the coordination between the local ticket seller here in CH and TIDAL wasn't too good but i've got them now.

I think chances would really be good for this album to become my favorite so far if it wasn't for Stargate... Just already now with the short snippets i start to feel i'm liking the live versions - which of course still carry influences by the producers, but still less - more than those on the album, because they sound more like themselves, whereas the album versions really carry this "imprint" or Stargate...

Is there anyone else thinking the start/intro to AHFOD as a first track might be linked in one way or the other sound wise with the outro to "up&up" or "x marks the spot" - like they used to do it with Always in my Head/O and Life in Technicolor/Death and all his Friends(The escapist) .. in a way that it makes the album not really have an end this is an interesting thought cause judging from the live versions we saw last saturday i can't really any connection between them yet... soundwise i mean... maybe they'll have an intro to AHFOD (and/or outro to up&up) we haven't heard yet..

glad to hear the jar-percussion from "Low" is back in the chorus tho... (Y)

i think by that they just meant theyre gonna make up some more fun-songs with the stuff people keep texting to r1

they just posted another pic from their rehearsal. does that mean they're gonna be performing live tomorrow on radio 1? Edit: oops just realized this has been posted already a while ago

ooommg new video up!!!

if i were chris or anyone of the guys i'd so much enjoy monitoring this thread xD

what a great time to be living in!!!

From my own band experience i know that taking new diretions sound-wise after an album/era isn't equally easy for each band member. Who of the four of you is generally struggling the most with embracing new things and letting go of was sound/music-wise?

[video=youtube;wOIkLKwCKYw] is the video footage of "yes" in this video (i'm not talking about "lovers in japan" and chinese sleep chant which comes prior to it in the video) actually from the very moment when you guys recorded the basic track of it for the album?

I remember once reading somewhere Chris stating they thought - in retrospect - X&Y was too long and if they could turn back time they'd make it 3 songs shorter. He also said he knew which songs he'd take out. Which ones was he thinking of?

as one could see it in the making of video "ghost stories" actually was included in the album in an earlier stage as well as atlas and "the race", but apparently they didnt fit anymore in the end. really wondering what "the race" sounded like...

ok it really seems to be a bootleg thing. -> the barcode seems to be the same one as the one of the official album ;)

of course, absolutely agree with you... but still not sure... especially as in the whole copyright section there seems to be some detailed copyright info concerning the brasilian music market

Hey everyone my brother just discovered a "Ghost Stories Live EP" as a torrent has anyone already heard/read of this. my first guess was that it was some kind of bootleg version, as the tracks on there are mainly from the NY and the Austin TX shows.. but the backside of the cover even had the parlophone logo and a barcode, PLUS sound-mixing-wise it all sounded very professional and official. does anyone know more about that?

that's all i know and no this person does not have / can't acquire neither username nor password for cright.com. besides, that wouldn't be fair somehow, would it? ;) let's be patient and look forward to may 19 ;)

he had the privilege to hear some of it at studio 1 @ abby road and he thought it was great and he said the boys had once again outdone themselves. ;)

let's wait for may 19. :) i honestly can say i don't know anything more than what i've said.

nope, but he's an artist

i doubt it's a good idea to tell that here, besides, no one will know that person anyways as he's not a celebrity or so. ;)

[video=youtube;EEt9tYdUqkY] so, as it can be seen in the 3rd part of BBC's Interview by Zane Lowe with Chris Martin (at around 03:23), Ghost Stories seems to run under the nick name / working title "Project Odysseus". and somebody that's already heard the album has confirmed that Project Odysseus has been used as some kind of nick name instead of using "coldplay" in order to maintain a higher level of security in terms of leaks and so on. and apparently the whole album is already available for press people for listening on cright.com ;) wondering how excited the coldplay management / label is about bbc accidentially revealing those kinds of "secrets" xD :D
