Founded by some survivors of the German Progressive rock band Tresspass, Inquire was created in 1996. Presented by Musea as a double-CD, this authoritative work is based on a true concept, the adaptation of a famous Jean-Paul Sartre novel: "La Nausée".

Coldplay finally surrender to their essential good nature on Mylo Xyloto, their fifth album and first to ditch all pretense of brooding melancholia. Which isn’t to say the band doesn’t drift along on some pleasingly spacy atmospheres conjured by longtime producer Brian Eno: there’s still a veneer of classy disaffection that inevitably dissipates due to the relentless sunniness of Chris Martin and company.
