Have a look at the cover. I couldn't see any. A remix will do.

Where did you hear it? Arrow (on the AM-frequency) usually plays NLOTH and Boots.

Wait and we'll see. It's either one B-side recorded quickly (a cover version?) or a remix that we'll be getting. Or it all comes on another album.

And it looks like U2 / Universal won't be registering this for a promo.

Have any stations in Australia played it yet? The single edit or the NLOTH version.

Official confirmation :

Originally posted by U2.comU2's new single will be 'Magnificent' and turns out our friends in Coldplay are ahead of the game. They've been playing it before they come on stage on their current tour.

Mercury Records will release the new single on May 4th and the track has been getting plaudits ever since 'No Line...' was released.

The Times in London called it 'stunning' while Q magazine called it a 'slow-building anthem with the ambience of The Unforgettable Fire'. High praise indeed.

And as the good people of Coldplay twittered the other day, ' a truly beautiful song'. Thanks guys.

So what does everyone else think ? Good choice?
