It may seem strange to post this here on a blog devoted to Editors, particularly where the individual concerned isn't a member of the band any more, but I hope to make a fairly compelling case in a few sentences.
As well as being about the present activities of Editors, the Archive by its very name deals with the history of the band too. Chris was and essential part of the first incarnation of Editors, from his jagged guitar lines and melodies on The Back Room and An End Has a Start to the electronic experimentation of In This Light And On This Evening. Present circumstances cannot diminish his contributions in the past and as such, I like to keep folks up to date as to what he's doing now.
This is an interview from Studio Brussel that was broadcast earlier this week, and it's worth addressing the elephant in the room immediately. There is no mention of Editors at all during the 4 minutes that he's talking, and do you know what? I'm really glad. As much as the voyeuristic side of my nature wants to hear his take on "that split", I actually find it extremely positive that he's stepping out of the shadow of the band and asserting himself as something else; in this case the producer (and sometime player of guitar parts?) on the new record by The Spectors. Good for him, I say. As long as he's exercising his musical abilities in one form or another then the world is a brighter place.
