Black Eco 2LP Vinyl! 2024 Reissue! Coldplay's X&Y is produced on EcoRecord for the first time. EcoRecord sounds and looks just as good as a conventional vinyl record, but is made from 100% recyclable PET instead of PVC. EcoRecords are also injection moulded, which means energy savings of up to 85% compared to the conventional vinyl process. X&Y is Coldplay's third studio album. Produced by Coldplay and Danton Supple, the 9-times platinum album includes the singles Speed of Sound, Fix You, Talk and The Hardest Part.
Also on their third album Coldplay had found the right mixture of keyboard, organ and piano, where not only simply an electric guitar is the leading instrument. Basically the songs are composed of the dreamy chords of keyboard and organ, the high quality guitar playing of Jonny Buckland and the not too intrusive drumming of Will Champion. In addition, singer Chris Martin convinces with excellent vocals and there is nothing to criticize about Guy Berryman's work on the bass. The album once again reflects the excellent musical abilities of each band member, especially Chris Martin. Even if the musical chunks are a lot easier to digest this time
"Moreover, the band doesn't deny their idols from Beatles ('What If') to Depeche Mode ('White Shadows') without copying them, the guitar rocker 'Square One' as opener hits the nerve of U2 in their best times , for example. But the great strength of the band shows again in gentle love ballads, for example 'Fix You' - a lighter stadium anthem - 'A Message' and the elegiac 'Swallowed In The Sea'. Exemplifying the fact that electronics have made a bit of an entrance too is 'Talk', with fierce guitars and an errant sample of Kraftwerk's 'Computer Love'. Warm, heartfelt, infectious - at least after the third listen. " - Ingeborg SchoberReview
