"Coldplay - Viva La Vida" sounds trancey?

I can't help but think that Coldplay's new song sounds VERY familiar like some trance song I've heard already. I just can't put my finger on which song, though. My gut wants to say Paul Van Dyk, but the only song I can think of that might sound close is "We Are Alive" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7sce-0zBv0

I don't know. Anyone know any trance songs that sound similar?

If you're just talking about the chord progression, no trance song comes immediately to mind.

It sounds nothing like trance in general really...

Kinda reminds me of 'Wooden Swordz' by Viton&Stel.

this is a great album, and ready for edm remixes. prob their best release to date, thank God Paltrow is not another Yoko Ono or Kate Hudson

He is right, the orchestral riff in the beginning does sound like a typical epic trancer or something (substitute the riff with a typical Paul Van Dyk saw), so i guess the beginning notes bring to mind Paul Van Dyke's "For An Angel" or something.

Maybe, but the point is that trance is not the center of the universe.

I wonder why an orchestral riff wouldn't remind people of classical symphonic music :wtf:

From the same reason a Jenna Haze picture would'nt remind anyone of Mona Lisa.

I wanted to tell him that the simplicity of this riff is nowhere near the classical compositions of classical composers (in the end of the day its just a riff and not even a full melody!) but your analogy was way better...:whip:

EDM is NOT the center of the universe, but because i'm posting in an EDM forum i'm not willing to start a conversation on this...:p
