Hypnagogic States [EP] [PA]

Performer: The Cure
Producer: Keith Uddin; Robert Smith
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: HYPNAGOGIC STATES contains remixes of tracks off of The Cure's 2008 release, 4:13 DREAM. The remixers generally chose to make the songs more electronic, beat-heavy, and dancier, even if many of the participants, like AFI's Jade Puget and Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz, come from the world of rock. 30 Seconds to Mars (Jared Leto's band) contribute a slightly more stripped down "The Only One," full of silent stretches and instrumental breaks. The EP is a long way from classic Cure, but an interesting detour. In addition, all profits went to benefit the Red Cross.

Led by depressive pop prince Robert Smith, the Cure have taken their legions of fans on a journey from post-punk to gothic to new wave to art rock, stopping only for refills of hairspray along the way. An amazing band both live and in the studio, the Cure may have shifted its lineup numerous times, but Smith has remained a consistently fascinating rock icon throughout the changes. The group's most popular work (DISINTEGRATION, THE HEAD ON THE DOOR) was recorded in the 1980s, but it has held up incredibly well, leading to continued tours and albums despite exaggerated rumors of their demise.
