Must be wealthy, perhaps several homes?

Off the back of this thread, I've listened to Pornography for the first time in decades this morning. It still sounds wonderful, particularly Siamese Twins and A Strange Day.

I’d quite honestly truly never knowingly heard a song by The Cure before I watched a few linked on this thread. I quite like it!
It did get me thinking though, my favourite singer - Lene Marlin - her second album was produced by Mike Hedges who worked with The Cure a lot. It really struck me now much a producer really does to shape the overall sound of a recording.

Surprised to not see Lullaby on the top-20 list. Maybe I was just in the right mood for that song back in '89. And a few more from Bloodflowers, too.
I wouldn't say I'm a big fan, though. I like the band, but I can't say I love them - but I can see why others do. To me their more "doomy" stuff feels like Pink Floyd: you can tell who it is from a few seconds of a song, full of baselines and atmosphere. Apart from the (musically) upbeat songs from the late-80s/early 90s their lyrics are a little one-note though. They tried singing about other stuff (like Jupiter Crash) and it didn't work as well as the main existential theme, so they are back on that.

Do you not listen to the radio or watched top of the pops?

Nope. I’ve probably heard them, and not known it’s them.

Disintegration is one of the greatest albums of all time. Just perfect
Was it a CD and if so, how much did you pay?
I've seen it online to pre-order for £24.99 which seems excessive.
EDIT - a bit more nosing around and it seems to be £13.99 in hmv:

I bought one via their website in the hope of going to the Troxy gig tomorrow. It was £15 inc postage. Pretty sure Resident have it at the same price.
Yes - CD. £12.99 including postage. But I pre-ordered, and I see it's gone up to £13.99 now, plus £1.50 postage.Was it a CD and if so, how much did you pay?

I think there is a 'deluxe' version around the price you first mentioned.

Absolutely brilliant.

I think this may have been a different warm-up gig tonight actually. Might have been a specific Radio 2 in concert gig (bit like they did with Blur last year). Troxy is tomorrow you are right. I could have got tix via mailing list pre-sale a week ago – but I am away

I tried and failed. Think the demand was way above supply. I didn't really find out because I wasn't sent the code that I should have done.I think this may have been a different warm-up gig tonight actually.

Do these sorts of gigs in London often comprise the ‘great n good’, a case of who you know? It was the same Kate Bush first came back.
