So after watching "The Devil's Chord", I wondered what the significance of Timothy Drake was. There must have been a reason for Maestro to name check him.

We find out in the episode that Maestro wants to steal the natural "universal music" of the orbiting planets. It turns out that there's an album called "Symphonies of the Planets".

This is a compilation of NASA Voyager Recordings - in reality a 'translation' of the magnetic waves between the planets into sound waves by musician Jeffrey Thompson. This recording was then bootlegged by an unknown person and released under the name Timothy Drake.

Coldplay's Beehive went through a major renovation becoming "2 studios (the second part with the white walls is called the Lion's Den) and breakout areas"! (source, comment section by Miloco)

Miloco Studios is known to have a team that worked on both Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends as well as some songs from Everyday Life two of which "Champion Of The World" and the title track "Everyday Life" made it onto the album (source). But this time they also participated in a major change of Beehive, joining efforts with Coldplay's producer Dan Green. The process seems to start in 2021 (source) and by 2023 the Miloco Studios account on Twitter posted the following report:

"Another inspiring studio finished by the Miloco Builds team, this one for legendary band Coldplay.

Producer Dan Green initially got in touch in early 2021 to discuss some renovations to their Beehive studio, a large space the band had been using for writing but with very basic treatment and a floor that needed replacing. They wanted to create some booths, but keep the main space as a huge creative control room. Once the initial strip out had begun, it was clear that to properly float a new concrete slab some extensive building work would be needed, so the brief grew substantially.

What we’ve achieved speaks for itself. The natural light and cantilevered treatment is reminiscent of the scheme at The Church, although the warm tones in the flooring and fabric give the space a homely feel with a nod to the futuristic. The audio install was completed by our team with absolutely zero compromises - point to point and with the best pres to be found anywhere.

Throughout the rest of the building a similar design philosophy meant opening out smaller rooms, moving the bathrooms and storage to the basement to create a second studio on the second floor with views across London. It’s a studio designed by engineers for engineers, and we are very proud to be part of this milestone in the band’s history.

Of the project, Dan says:

“Miloco have been a pleasure to work with and were able to complete the project to a very tight deadline. There was great communication throughout, from the acoustic design, connectivity to the lighting and everything in between they have had the greatest attention to detail… Pete and the team have created and delivered the most inspiring creative space that I have ever worked in.”" (source)

"The Lion's Den is the second studio at Coldplay’s new complex built by Miloco Builds. Sitting right at the top of the building, the den is a comfortable and airy writing room with fantastic views over London. This is a songwriter’s heaven; decadently appointed with synths, instruments and noise makers, and altogether a wonderfully calming and creative space." (Source)

My mum has always been a huge Coldplay fan so this band has been ingrained in my childhood and to be able to hear the songs I grew up with live in such a beautiful show was really a dream come true. I don't know how someone can go back to reality after that.

Coldplay - Moon Music

When Coldplay released their latest album, Moon Music, vocalist Chris Martin said that they were going to release 12 albums and then retire. Moon Music is album 10, so people have a couple more albums to wait, but a lot of music fans will probably rejoice when one of rock’s least liked bands calls it a day. Well, least liked now, because Coldplay used to be huge, at least from 2000 to 2010, but since 2011’s Mylo Xyloto, they’ve taken a dive. I reviewed their last album, 2021’s Music Of The Spheres, and I didn’t like that album very much. It wasn’t outright awful, but it was too bland, uninspired, and boring. They went for a huge pop sound that had themes of coming together, unity, and things like that, which was good for the time, but they didn’t do anything with those themes, and it just felt like it was a little pretentious, or at least halfbaked.

When Coldplay is good, they’re really good, especially some of their early records, but I did enjoy 2019’s Everyday Life, where they went into some eclectic directions. Music Of The Spheres was a generic pop album that tried to bite off way too much than it could chew, so I was skeptical for whatever they did next. Moon Music worried me from its first couple of singles, because they were more or less what we’ve had before, but in context of the whole album, they work quite well. This album returns Coldplay to their late 00s run with some huge, anthemic, and over the top songs, but they continue with the ambient sounds they attempted to interweave into their sound with Music Of The Spheres.

At 44 minutes, one could argue that Moon Music is a little too long, but there are only a couple of longer songs that show up at the beginning, middle, and end. Despite the few issues this album has, which I’ll talk about later, I happen to really enjoy this thing. Moon Music is the best Coldplay album since Mylo Xyloto, even though that album doesn’t have a great reputation, either. The bombast is here, and on songs like “feelslikeimfallinginlove,” “Jupiter,” and,” “iAMM,” and “Good Feelings” are really catchy, fun, and huge sounding. The title track, “One Love,” and “🌈” (I hate to type that out, but we’re at a time in history where emojis can be song titles) are longer and more ambient. The latter is a very ambient cut that’s interspliced with a speech from the late Maya Angelou, and it sounds great, despite going on a little too long in spots.

The album has its peaks and valleys, but the valleys aren’t bad, they’re just not as high energy and let the album breathe a bit. Some of the album ends up running a bit too long for its own good, but the highs are worth it, honestly. Chris Martin sounds great, and even his lyrics are a bit better here, although still being extremely cheesy in a lot of spots, too. The difference here, however, is that it’s the right amount of cheese, and you really feel what he’s saying and how he’s saying it. There’s also less of a fake positive exterior that the band exudes sometimes, too, and the lyrics are still hopeful, but there is a hint of darkness there. It’s an interesting touch, compared to their overly positive stuff.

In terms of their body of work, the jury’s still out on whether or not this matches up with their other material, because I’ve seen a lot of mixed reactions on the album. Some have been positive, but the rest have been middling, versus outright bad. This is a step up compared to Music Of The Spheres, and it’s the most I’ve enjoyed a Coldplay album in years, at least out of what I’ve actively listened to. I’m curious to see how fans are reacting to it, but as someone that’s a casual fan, I really like this. I don’t know if it’s an album of the year contender, but even then, I’ve been coming back to this thing quite a lot, warts and all.
