Prospekt's March is the EP companion to the multi-platinum seller that was Viva La Vida. There are 6 original songs and 2 remix that were not included in VLV. If you liked the tracks on VLV, you will love this EP: the original new songs follow the sam experimental side of VLV but retain the beautiful melodies we have become accustomed to enjoy from Coldplay. A quick track-by-track commentaries:
Life in Technicolor ii: This is the very same Life in Technicolor of VLV, but this time as a complete song with lyrics. It works and it rocks even harder!
Postcards From Far Away: A short but delightful snippet of piano playing from Mr Martin. It works as a nice interlude between songs.
Glass Of Water: Coldplay at their rockiest moment with a pwerful guitar riff from Johnny and a nod to Muse. A massive track I find myself hearing over and over again
Rainy Day: A very experimental track, a bit pop-esque but with a beautiful guitar melody and gorgeous a-la Viva La Vida violins in the chorus. A lovely mix of instruments that just works!
Prospekt's March: Soft , delicate , partly Parachute-like track with lovely lyrics and sweeping melodies. Unmissable.
Lost +: It is Lost with Jay-z contribution. If you ever thought Lost was a hip hop friendly song, this version will confirm it for you.
Lovers In Japan remix: It's just a bit rockier version of Lovers in Japan. It gives it an extra kick to an already gorgeous melody.
Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground: Acoustic track with another nod to Johnny Cash and a guest appearance by a brass! A nice ending for the EP
All 6 original songs are definitely worth having for Coldplay fans or just Viva La Vida fans. If you are neither, you can still grab the special edition of VLV + Prospekt's March at quite a cheap price and get some of the best music ever made by a band that is at their absolute highest creative peak!

VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Coldplay release outtakes and re-mixes from Viva la Vida and surprise,surprise...it's not half bad. You could never in a million years award it five stars because some of the re-mixes are hardly noticably different from the originals. The much heralded rap version of 'lost' featuring Jay Z is a bit naff if truth be told. However,apart from this needless deviation into R&B territory,the rest of the album chunkers along in a manner expected of the Indie Pop kings.
Described as an 'EP'. Prospekts March is more an album really. After all, eight tracks offers itself as more 'Long Player' than 'extended player'. In my book anyway.

I bought the double album, this with Viva la Vida, a couple of days ago and I am absolutely thrilled with it.
Life in Technicolor ii is brilliant, as is Glass of Water, Lost+, the Osaka Sun Remix etc. Well worth investing in.

More of the same...
There is not much new on this album compared with "Viva". A few revisions of the earlier releases and a couple of new ones. Read more

Prospekt's March
Prospekt's March was an EP of songs very similar to Coldplay's latest album, Viva la Vida. With a mellow sound and good rhythm, this CD nis very easy to listen to and can be... Read more

No ' Prospects ' March
This has probably already been said before but releasing an EP less than a year after the album is not very plausible from a fans point of view. The EP contains a remix of Lost! Read more

Pity this was not with the Album
These tracks should have been included inthe Album, that said if you like Coldplay you will love this additional EP, I did and its worth the extra cost

Value for Money
I bought this for the track 'LIFE IN TECHNICOLOUR II' which is excellent and to be honest worth the money for this track alone.

Great!
Just what I was expecting, great music by a great band! I think they completely ruined Lost with mixing in Jay-Z, it was an awesome song in the first place and it just got wrecked! Read more

What a shame they didn't combine the two
There are three tracks on this EP that, if added to 'Viva La Vida' would have sealed Coldplay's place amongst the greats. Read more

Definitely Worth It
Okay, ignore the Lost version with Jay Z on it (why Jay Z?), and the Lovers In Japan mix which isn't too different from the original one, but the other songs? Read more
