Thanks I enjoyed it. Disintegration is my favourite Cure album and it was interesting to also hear some unfamiliar material.
Cheers [MENTION=1313]BadFish[/MENTION].
I’ll watch that later in full. I still play Cure music, 35/40 years on.
They headline at Glastonbury next month too.

Saw their 40th anniversary gig at Hyde Park last year on the day that England beat Sweden in the WC, a truly great day out.

Agree, they were magnificent there.

I bet it was. Was the Sweden match televised on a giant screen in the park?
I’ve said this before, but I find it incredible that Smith and mates were creating the music and lyrics to A Forest, Play for Today, Boys Don’t Cry, etc, whilst in their teens and age 20. Most lads that age are just finding themselves. The same applies to Lennon/McCartney, Morrissey/Marr, Curtis/Sumner/Hook/Morris. Latter-day musical geniuses.
Ever grateful for their genius, endless happy hours spent listening to their art.

Absolutely. I think Paul Weller could be added to that list after writing All Mod Cons when he was 19 years old.

Not forgetting Paul Weller who wrote "All Mod Cons" when he was just 19. Incredible when you think about the song writing.
Definitely, I can’t believe I omitted Weller. Some feat for someone so young to churn out several great albums.
With all of these musical geniuses, as if the inhibition of youth allowed the creativity.
