Let's not forget to mention Robert's latest collaboration with Eat Static:

The Cure's Robert Smith has collaborated with another band following his very recent cover of The Twilight Sad's "There's A Girl In The Corner".  This time it's with an act he has been following for quite a while, the UK Electronica project Eat Static.  Listen to a sample of the track above, and you can pick up the song off the band's new album "Dead Planet", due out July 31st.

Just listened to it here and I think it's pretty cool. Not least for that old school Bass VI sound...

Thanks for the link.
It sounds "okay", but I'm not "full of excitement".

Does Robert prefer 'physical' publications,doesn't he?
I've deleted my PP account a few months ago.Tough!

[Ulrich]

Does Robert prefer 'physical' publications?

Not sure. He might prefer them for his private use or even for the Cure output, but in this case I think the decisions are in the hands of Eat Static and their record company.

Obvious.I have a problem with the "One pound or more" business model
because music is,naturally,less physical than a painting or sculpture.The
non-material value is hard to express.If Eat Static had a classic contract
with a major company,he might reach a greater audience.I mean after all
these years... :roll:

I have to say I like it. It's pretty sad they haven't made it available on Spotify or something like that. By now I have arranged myself with that kind of distributing quite well.


EDIT: Okay correction. They do have it on Spotify. The search function ist just shit
