  1. Lame....such a cliche to slow a down an seminal song from the 80s...aka mad world by tears for fears...with that song: keyboards are not stigmatized anymore...they are the new saxaphone or simply a matter of fact instrument these days...the original is just fine...sorry if anyone likes this artist...i'm sure the rest of his catalogue is a-oK :) -MARK

  8. nice one - just found the link about the Disintegration Mixed Up - Bryan 'Chuck' New is confirmed & he says "it's great to be working with the band again, I know most fans see me as the architect of the classic Cure sound."

  13. This just in from hispacure:

    According to Universal Music Spain the Disintegration remaster will not be seen until 2010. They also mentioned that Spanish TMU does not know of any plans of the Wish remaster being released alongside the Disintegration one.


    This was mentioned because Spanish Rolling Stone magazine got together with the guy from hispacure and some other big shot at Spanish TMU to discuss the re-issues theme and write an article about it. It was also mentioned the fact that as i previously said before there will be no Deluxe Disintegration until 2010.


    As told by the guy from hispacure. for any of those who can read spanish:

    any differences from what i just told you and the real deal please blame the guy from hispacure. im just a voluntary messenger.

  14. Thank you, Carlos. Sounds about right. There was some slight hope of it being out by the end of this year, but with it not on any release schedules, this doesn't come as much of a surprise. Oh well, maybe they'll have additional time to do more with it next year.

    But I'm a little surprised that they haven't heard anything about the Wish remaster.
