a remix by any other name
to say they're my favourite band does them a dis-service. i've been a cure fan since 1979. mr smith's music has esentially been the soundtrack of my life. that said. . . these remixes are passable. but they're cure remixes so i had to buy this disc. if you aren't a died in the wool fan you may want to give it a miss.


The Cure is back! With Keyboards!
00 gem makes me want to pop in "Mixed Up" again and the Blank and Jones "The Forest" Mix CD. Wow! This $6. If you like these 2 The Cure albums, then definitely pick this up. You won't be disappointed. If you don't like the 2 albums mentioned above don't pick it up. It's that simple!

I love this remix CD !

I think I like the remixes better that the origionals except the The perfect boy, I prefer the origional mix to the remix. I love this remix CD !
I was presently surprised.

The 5th track, the 21 minute megamix, by 65 Days of Static is great too.
It is a unique idea to have a megamix of all 4 songs into 1 song.

To the reviewer that says track 5 was a throwaway track, I completly disagree. Anyone that saw 65 degrees of Static open up for The cure ontour this summer will be thrilled to see they did a remix of all 4 tracks. It is unique and I love it. Yea, it goes on and on and on for 21 minutes, that is the point, but it certainly is not a boring track.



A must have CD !!.


Pretty cool
I am not a huge fan of remixes but these sound pretty good. First off, I am really glad The Cure did something like this considering the delay in getting 4:13 Dream out. These were all pretty upbeat singles so I can see how they lend themselves to these mixes in a good way. The standout for me was on "The Perfect Boy" where it had a bit of Tom Petty's "American Girl"-sounding beat going on. I wasn't going to get this at first but thought it would be a good way to contribute a little more to the Red Cross especially with the recent hurricanes, and I'm glad I did now. Even if you don't care for remixes and are a Cure fan, at least buy this for charity's sake alone. If you like these I also recommend looking up Robert Smith's collaborations with Junior Jack, Tweaker, and Junkie XL on the tracks "Da Hype", "Truth Is", and "Perfect Blue Sky" respectively. I got those on iTunes. **On a side note, if you're a fan of lending band's a hand making creative remixes of their original material check out my favorite female artist Kristin Hersh's cashmusic website. **.


Cannot Wait for Studio Album
Very good bunch of remixes makes me very hopeful for the studio album with the Cure's own non-remix style!.
