Amazon Review

What's this? New Coldplay material so soon after the release of Viva La Vida? In fact, Prospekt's March is a collection of songs that were chiefly intended for the band's fourth album but which didn't get finished before the deadline. There are eight tracks in total, some new, some new-ish and a couple of re-workings of older material. Amongst the re-imaginings is a largely decorative Osaka Sun mix of "Lovers in Japan" and a version of "Lost" that includes an unlikely guest vocalist in the shape Jay-Z-... Read full review »

What a shame they didn't combine the two

There are three tracks on this EP that, if added to 'Viva La Vida' would have sealed Coldplay's place amongst the greats. The extended 'Life in Technicolour', 'Prospekt's March/Poppyfields' and 'Glass of Water' would have elevated 'VLV' to classic status. 'Prospekt's March/Poppyfields' could have fitted perfectly on 'Parachutes' or 'A Rush of... Read full review »

Pure Quality

Downloaded this from Amazon as part of their MP3 sales drive over Xmas and was extremely pleased as to how painless this was. Within a few minutes I had the EP downloaded and automatically added to iTunes (as an MP3)

As for the EP, just the pure brilliance of Coldplay as... Read full review »

Why an extension??

After having purchased the album Viva la vida earlier this year, I thought it was a superb album. However this so called extension in my opinion is a waste of money. I spent £7.99 on Viva la Vida and i thought it was well worth the money, howver i wi... Read full review »

Definitely Worth It

Okay, ignore the Lost version with Jay Z on it (why Jay Z?), and the Lovers In Japan mix which isn't too different from the original one, but the other songs?

They could easily fit on Viva La Vida (okay, maybe Rainy Day may be a bit latino for that album, but that doesn't mean to say it's bad). It's a great e... Read full review »

Viva la vida bonus sessions

With highly hit successful album `Viva la Vida or Death and all his friends' still on heavy rotation on my iPod. I, along with many other Coldplay fans must have wondered how long they would have to go without new material. Well the answer was within the same year! The album is clearly from the `Viva la Vida' sessions and is also shown through the similar cover art as well as the music. The question is, is it just the leftovers from `Viva la Vida' or have these songs narrowly missed out or just didn't fit.

Well the album can be split into two halves; you have the remixes then you have the new stuff. First of all I'll take you through the remixes. The album kicks off with `Life in Technicolor II' and it is exactly what it says on the tin. What I thought was great about `Life in Technicolor' off `Viva' was that it was an instrumental. Clearly though Martin couldn't keep quiet, making this basically `Life in Technicolor 1 plus vocals. While the instrumental works from the album. This opener works for this EP. It is clear during the `Viva' sessions Martin has changed his vocal style and it fits well with the songs especially laid on top of this track. Meanwhile `Lost +' sees Jay Z rap over the bridge section of the song. It is a small change to the song which works extremely well. Finally `Lovers in Japan (Osaka sun remix) is like playing a game of spot the difference with the original. It must be a really... Read full review »
