Quote from: Sacha8 on April 22, 2025, 16:48:39I assume this refers to Seven Different Words for Love and to the Sam and Kate OST?

I don't really know. After this one, I didn't follow the solo ways too much (seeing the band were going on tour in '22 and '23)...

QuoteL'album, intitulé Mixes of a Lost World, sortira le 13 juin et, en avant-première, les Cure partagent la nouvelle version de Four Tet de « Alone » et le remix « Cinematic » d'Oakenfold de « I Can Never Say Goodbye ». Daybreakers, Mura Masa et Sally C ont également contribué à l'album, tandis qu'une édition de luxe comprendra des contributions supplémentaires de Chino Moreno des Deftones, Mogwai, 65daysofstatic et The Twilight Sad.

Quote from: word_on_a_wing on April 22, 2025, 16:38:38There are not many (or any?) other musicians who have provided their fans with such a gift

QuoteOften, they're a phenomenal experience – Spiritualized playing 'Ladies And Gentlemen...', Pixies doing 'Doolittle', the Manics' 'The Holy Bible' tour or Magnetic Fields' immense two-nighter of '69 Love Songs'. In an age when the joy of not knowing which songs your favourite band will play has been thoroughly wilted by setlist.fm, this is a different form of live enjoyment – a time-leap to idyllic times, an appreciation of the 45-minute 'journey' of the album format and the relief of knowing exactly when to pop to the bog during the shit filler bits.

Some acts – Suede, The Wedding Present, The Wonder Stuff, The Cure, acts from the days when 'indie' was an obsessive lifestyle choice rather than a sniffy term of abuse for The Pigeon Detectives – have taken the concept a stage further and recreated virtually their entire careers in order, playing shows or tours of each album in quick succession and making the hardcore fan feel like they're living their twenties again in fast-forward. Others – Patti Smith, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Weezer, Nas – have recently been using the format to cement their greatest or most overlooked albums as solid gold classics.

Quote from: word_on_a_wing on April 22, 2025, 16:38:38I've just been reflecting on how much I appreciate them performing and recording the albums in full. There are not many (or any?) other musicians who have provided their fans with such a gift

Quote from: Ulrich on August 25, 2022, 13:01:20A film score composed by Roger will be coming up:

I assume this refers to Seven Different Words for Love and to the Sam and Kate OST? Not sure whether they are supposed to be the same record or not, I haven't found any clear info on the net about it. Anyway, just wanted to say I REALLY like Roger's solo projects. He's a true composer, perhaps he should be given more space in The Cure records, or perhaps not, I have conflicted feelings about it. If he was, he wouldn't create such wonderful records on his own, so in a way I'm glad he is not as relevant in the band as he used to be in the Disintegration era... yet it feels so sad at the same time. IMHO, the band's shift from a keyboard-oriented sound to a more guitar-based one is a traditional move, but of course many may disagree on this...
