Being a Coldplay fan, I'm dead curious.

From NME:

"‘Square One’, ‘Talk’, ‘‘Till Kingdom Come’, ‘X&Y’, ‘What If’ and ‘The Hardest Part’. The material shows a huge progression from the classic Coldplay sound, mixing their trademark anthems with ’70s electronica. David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Brian Eno are all influences, while ‘Talk’ features the riff from Kraftwerk’s ‘Computer Love’."

The term "electronica" should never be applied retroactively, especially not to Bowie and Eno. Even for Kraftwerk it's pretty wrong.

I assume these are tracks from their upcoming album?
