Brian Eno produces Coldplay album

Eno promises originality

27 Jan 07 - Brian Eno has revealed that he is producing Coldplay's fourth album.

The band have been locked away in their North London studio working on the album, since the release of their last album X&Y in October.

"Very original and very different from what they've done before "- Eno

Ex Roxy Music musician Eno is famous for his pioneering work in ambient and electronic music, and also for his work with David Byrne and The Talking Heads.

Eno also said he thought that most music around today sounded just like The Talking Heads, and he would be making a special effort with this album NOT to imitate them.

Some of the work will be roadtested on Coldplay's Latin American tour next month.
