VA - The Many Faces of The Cure (3 CD, 2016/FLAC)

 

 Without a doubt, The Cure is one of the most essential bands from the '80s with an iconic image that is on par with superstars of that time. Surging as part of the post punk and dark-rock movement, The Cure and especially their leader, Robert Smith, had the cunning ability to create -within their large catalog- multiple hit songs that have become absolute pop classics, without compromising their credibility. 

The Many Faces Of The Cure showcases the parallel paths of the band members, some of Robert Smith collaborations with other artists, the mostly unknown post-Cure projects by the band's drummer/keyboardist Lol Tolhurst and by bassist Simon Gallup and of course, their songs, both performed by the band itself and by a large number of artists who have respectfully created fantastic new versions.
