Prospekt's March
Coldplay今年的号召力想必让这张EP同样也被受瞩目。而这张EP除了6首在制作Viva La Vida中同时完成的作品外,还有2首重新制作的新专辑曲目Lovers in Japan,Lost +而且是与Jay-Z的混音,别有一番口味!Chris Martin之前也曾经提到过发行这张 EP有多么的不容易,总之也是心血之作。有意思的是这张EP的封面同样是来自Eugene Delacroix的作品,和Viva La Vida的主题一样仍然是气势磅礴的革命图画。 专辑的首张单曲Life in Technicolor II进入了英国单曲榜的90位,并且获得了格莱美奖提名。 Prospekt's March is an EP by English alternative rock band Coldplay, initially released on 21 November 2008 in Europe and Japan, and worldwide the following week. It features several tracks left over from the studio sessions for Coldplay's fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. It is also available in the deluxe edition of Viva la Vida. The cover features Eugène Delacroix's original painting Battle of Poitiers, similar to the cover art featured on Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (which included another Delacroix-created painting). On 5 November, Coldplay offered an exclusive preview of the EP via their Facebook application and through their website. There were two singles that anchored the EP. The song "Glass of Water" entered the iTunes Top 100 songs and went on to be performed live by the band on 4Music. "Life in Technicolor II" began its existence in the charts at #90 in the UK Singles Chart despite not being released as an official single. It was later confirmed to be the EP's first single. It later peaked at #28 upon its physical release on 8 February 2009. The song was nominated at the 52nd Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Short Form Music Video. As of January 2010, Prospekt's March has sold 537,000 copies worldwide.
