This review is from: Munich Pt.1 (Audio CD)

Editors came on the scene pretty much out of nowhere in 2005 with their fabulous debut album "The Back Room", which I like to call UK's response to Interpol's equally fantastic "Turn On the Bright Lights" debut album. This is one of the (many) singles from "The Back Room".

"Munich" (2 tracks; 6 min.) brings one of the best songs from "The Back Room", and what a delight "Munich" remains to this day. It is followed by a non-album track "French Disko", a rousing cover of Stereolab's tune and equally great. That said, at a mere 6 min., I wish there had been a few more songs on here.

In all, this is an ok, but non-essential addition to the early Editors catalog. The band has just released its third album, which is a major departure from its first two albums, abandoning electric guitars and instead reinventing itself as Ultravox for the 21st century. Judge for yourself. Meanwhile, this "All Sparks" single is a must-have for Editors fans.
