Martin, 33, said the band's new album will be released 'some time in the future' but he added he hopes it won't be released the same week that the Take That album is out in shops.
According to UK newspaper Daily Record, he said: 'Preferably not the same week Take That are doing anything.
'If Gary Barlow says he might be possibly playing piano on a certain day, we just say: 'OK, we'll go and work in Germany that day, there's no point in us being here.''
The British band have been working with Brian Eno and Markus Dravs on their new album and Martin said: 'It's very much like I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in our studio - a lot of difficult tasks and people that you find it hard to get along with, i.e. me.'
