new coldplay single

[steve @ home]

I recognise that tune in Coldplay's new single.

Anyone know where it comes from?

[Mattk]

its an exact copy of a kraftwerk tune - i think 'computer love'

is this what you are thinking of ?

[gary baldy]

Yup - it is "Computer love".

[steve @ home]

well I've got nearly all Kraftwerk's back catalogue and I still can't place it. Might it be Jan Hammer or someone like that? Giorgio Moroder?

[gary baldy]

Its on Computer World - Track 4
I am listening to it as we speak (just to make sure in my own mind!)

[steve @ home]

Thanks everyone.

I was thinking of 'Computer WORLD', the title track.

Still a crap Coldplay single though.

[Mattk]

although i somehow doubt that coldplay have credited kraftwerk !

or am i wrong ?!

[gary baldy]

Not according to this:

[Mattk]

And does anyone think that the intro to Franz Ferdinand's "Walk Away" sounds a bit like Kraftwerk's The Model ?

[steve @ home]

They'll be wearing red shirts and skinny ties soon
