I'm gonna post everything once I find proper replacements for watermarked content.

For anyone curious, I'm trying to find the equivalent of this... https://www.discogs.com/release/4412549-Coldplay-A-Rush-Of-Blood-To-The-Head-Instrumentals for Music Of The Spheres album (also for AHFOD, EL, and MX) A couple of months ago, even though I thought I'd never find it, I found the legit disc for Ghost Stories and the rip I did confirmed it's legitimate. So I guess I can hope for the rest too, just never give up! PS: I believe the Instrumental album of MOTS is of the deluxe edition that means including Instrumentals of the bonus tracks!

They promoted that one too. Give it some time.

Higher Power, My Universe, Let Somebody Go and Coloratura.

For the moment sent on radios.

So far I have 4 tracks out of them. Once I get them all I'll post them here, I aim to get them all in lossless. I know though that all of them are circulating in mp3 but I haven't figured out where yet.

Just so people know, Coloratura and Let Somebody Go are being promoted as singles with their instrumentals. I bet one of those is the next single, I put my bets on Let Somebody Go considering how they promote it.

I agree, what Phil says is pure marketing garbage. Just release the track and we'll act like what you said never happened.

Just dropping in to say that the album is somewhat of a sleeper. It grows on me the more I listen to it.

Correction, it's the same voice synthesis used on the popular Texas Instruments Speak & Read:

BTW, anybody here with digital music production knowledge knows what is the TTS VST plug in used to generate the "Music of the spheres" vocal sample of the first interlude? I know that it used to be a voice generator by Yamaha back in the day used alone in kids games etc but I can't find a VST that reproduces the effect the same way this one does. Fun fact: Stuart Price used the same one on his "Talk" remix back in the day.

Interesting. As I said here... ...it's rather confusing I guess for some people to not associate something that is possibly the worst work of somebody with a generally bad job on a scale. Tells alot about the quality of Coldplay's body of work. So I guess average is equal to horrible for Coldplay. That sounds like a very complimenting issue to have. Like whenever Coldplay scores below 7/10 that's really bad for them.

Heh thanx, I did it just for fun and out of curiosity.

I think people are over-reacting for no reason. If we speak with facts and the fact is that Coldplay is THAT BAND (if you know what I mean with my punctuation). They have raised sooo high the bar year after year that when they don't perform at 200% people critisize them. I think people hating the album is a very strong opinion since the content is not hate-worthy. Also people need to consider than maybe the reason that Coldplay is not performing the way they want in charts etc, maybe just maybe, they are to blame, not Coldplay. I can't tell the future but I know that listening to the album and it starts to grow on me which was the experience I had with most Coldplay albums anyway. Everybody needs to relax.

I don't have th retail disc yet, but it might be a pre-emphasis track before or after the end of the album or even a track hidden in the data partition of the disc.

Should we start posting the official instrumentals of the Album? I'm trying to fill the ones missing for the moment.

For those wanting a BTS-less version of the track, after alot of work since the track needed alot of structural rework, this is what I came up with: Coldplay - My Universe (No BTS) https://mega.nz/file/sXAGmLpK#SDu1PDUs_mIh49o9EUmggpp2yxO_QrkHqboKeHop4h8

Also, AFAIK, not even one of the supposed 24bit Coldplay releases is real. Also if memory serves right anything above 44KHz is fake too.

That also consider that on alot of venues believe it or not, people are not allowed to actually sing unmasked on a microphone.

Just a quick note. Universal did it again and the actual track you are listening on the streaming services (possibly on the album disc too) is a poor quality 128kbps mp3 file re-encoded to wav. This is garbage, Universal needs to pull their **** together, this watermarking and passing track masters of multiple lossy format encodes has gotten old.

Legends. I wish the Instrumental would leak.

That meant them being featured in-person in ads, not their songs. I can name atleast 8 ads at the top of my head here using their songs. As I said, if let's say me, a telecommunications company, want to use "X" track of a Top40 artist, I just go to their music licence publishing website, find the track I want, select from a certain type of criteria that I want to use, pay for it and done. It's a little bit oversimplified but at no time it ever requires anyone from the original artists agreeing in any way their song being used in my company's ad, the artists do not hold any kind of publishing rights to their music. Kinda similar to how cover songs work. The original artist cannot stop you from covering their song, it's just that you are obliged to pay for a licence. The only exception to the rule is when you want to sample their track.

What? Are you serious? Our commercials are filled with their tracks. Yellow, Clocks, Viva La Vida, Sky Full Of Stars, Adventure Of A Lifetime are tracks that are literaly abused by ads here. Cellular companies, car ads, sports equipment shops, gym chains and the list goes on. If you ask people if they know Coldplay and they say they don't, if you play them these tracks they will go like "OH! The track from that ad...". I also clearly remember Vodafone using the Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke mix of "Talk" back when I was in highschool, everybody seemed to mumble the tune from that remix. People don't realise that covering a song or playing it on a commercial DOES NOT need the greenlight of the artist to be allowed into an ad. They can go ahead and use it as long as they pay for the licence it requires. Using a sample though on a track (like how Talk is sampling Kraftwerk's Computer Love) DOES INDEED require the licence of all the artists involved. The reason we have all these instrumentals of their albums is because they are offered by EMI SYNC and UMPG for licensing, mostly in ads.

I know that it might be a coincidence but all 4 songs (Always in my Head, O, Music Of The Spheres, Higher Power) are in G Minor and the female choir of Always In My Head/O is synchronized perfectly if you layer it over Music Of The Spheres. It works even better if you paste the "OoOoOh don't ever let go". Dunno, Music Of The Spheres might be actually an evolution of Always In My Head, kinda like how Bani Adam was an evolution of Kaleidoscope.

I noticed that the Music Of The Spheres intro from the Higher Power video is on exactly the same key as Always in My Head and O, you can literally paste the one over the other and they match. I pasted the "Ooooh don't ever let go" vocal from O and I can also hear some elements matching in timing on where they should be from the O Instrumental to the Music Of The Spheres intro. I don't know if that says anything, but atleast my guess is that it's the opening interlude from the album, like Mylo Xyloto was on MX, and how O was incorporated to Always in my Head and vice versa (O is essentially a stripped down version of Always in my Head with the background vocals "OoOoh don't ever let go" serving as lead vocals.
