Cure Put Out Remix Album For Parties

Robert Smith is not the same.
The guitarist-mor of the pos-punk entered in the nineties making a sacrilege. Cure was already playing in the second division from the last vitality spasm, The Head On The Door. But now it arrived to the fund of the well.
LP Mixed Up doesn't seems more than remixed hits compilation. A kind of Cures 'hi-fi' for parties.
The word 'mix' is magic. Its seduction power also involved Mad Bob. He buried good times of "Boys Don't Cry" and has only presented an unreleased track , the tasteless "Never Enough".
After LP Disintegration (89), they announced that the end was close. But Smith gave up. That becomed worse to the group. Dance versions of obvious music like "Close To Me" and "A Forest" show that Cure doesn't cure. The best to do now is to abandon the ringue.
