The Remedy made quite a lot of constitutionally unhappy folks quickly joyful final yr with Songs Of A Misplaced World, their first new album in 16 years. Round that point, Robert Smith spoke a few “companion album” that was just about completed and able to go, in addition to a fairly totally different third album that includes “actually type of random stuff, like late-night studio stuff.” Immediately, on Smith’s 66th birthday, a brand new launch which will or is probably not the aforementioned companion album has been introduced.
Mixes Of A Misplaced World is a large assortment of Songs Of A Misplaced World remixes — two discs for the usual version, three discs for the deluxe — by artists together with 4 Tet, Paul Oakenfold, Chino Moreno, Mura Masa, Mogwai, the Twilight Unhappy, Orbital, Daniel Avery, 65daysofstatic, and extra. It’ll be out in June, and the Remedy’s royalties from the album will profit Struggle Little one UK.
A phrase from Smith:
JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS I WAS SENT A COUPLE OF UNSOLICITED REMIXES OF ‘SONGS OF A LOST WORLD’ TRACKS AND I REALLY LOVED THEM. THE CURE HAS A COLOURFUL HISTORY WITH ALL KINDS OF DANCE MUSIC, AND I WAS CURIOUS AS TO HOW THE WHOLE ALBUM WOULD SOUND ENTIRELY REINTERPRETED BY OTHERS. THIS CURIOSITY RESULTED IN A FABULOUS TRIP THROUGH ALL 8 SONGS BY 24 WONDERFUL ARTISTS AND REMIXERS AND IS WAY BEYOND ANYTHING I COULD HAVE HOPED FOR. GIVING OUR RECORDING ROYALTIES FROM THE PROJECT TO WAR CHILD HELPS MAKE ‘MIXES OF A LOST WORLD’ AN EVEN MORE SPECIAL RELEASE.
Based mostly on the “simply after Christmas” comment, I’d guess this isn’t the companion album Smith talked about earlier than. Together with the announcement, the Remedy have shared 4 Tet’s tackle “Alone” (beforehand a Report Retailer Day unique) and the Paul Oakenfold “Cinematic” remix of “I Can By no means Say Goodbye.” Hear each tracks and see the tracklist under.
