Mylo Xyloto was produced by Markus Dravs, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson with "enoxification" and additional composition by Brian Eno.
The album begins where the vivacious Viva La Vida left off. A short instrumental resonates like the shimmering dawn of a new day, before the Talk Talk bounce of "Hurt Like Heaven" ignites, a vocoda-ing Martin chirping "you're so cold, so cold". Other standouts are live favourite "Charlie Brown", which slots snugly into an A Rush Of Blood To The Head groove and "Princess Of China" which is the much talked about collaboration with Rihanna.
