Q: How many Editors fans does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None. We like the dark.
Sven is a friend of the Archive and has contributed his live recordings before, this is his document of Editors' Berlin gig on the 28th June 2016. The sound is spectacular. You can hear musical elements here that are otherwise lost during lesser audio captures. Thanks again for sharing your work with us, Sven. It's very much appreciated. Please note that the files are the MP3s delivered to me by Sven himself, no conversion has taken place at my end.
Editors play a lot of shows, and luckily for us there are usually a few that define the campaign they represents; a day or night that becomes a perfect representative of how they sounded at a given time. Berlin provides one of those examples. Listening to this four years from when it happened, you can read the setlist and spot the songs that have been (temporarily?) retired from live duty; All the Kings, Marching Orders and The Pulse etc.
This is actually quite a timely upload, specifically relating to that last song on the list. We've long known that there were a few versions of The Pulse around, but Elliott revealed in a recent Instagram chat that there are many, many more than we thought.
This is sweet torture for the souls who have been lost to this band, and it only adds to the list of subtle agonies we have to work hard to silence at the beginning, middle and end of every day. "How many versions of The Pulse exist and what do they sound like?" has now claimed the number one item on the agenda of my own fan concerns, gently edging out "What does Dream Dark as Your Heaven sound like?".
But only just.
Enjoy the music ;)
