The Cure Torn Down

Torn Down (Mixed Up Extras) is a new collection of 16 remixes from frontman Robert Smith. The double-LP includes reworkings of tracks such as “Three Imaginary Boys”, “Just One Kiss”, “Never Enough”, “The Drowning Man”, “Cut Here”, and more.

By their very nature, remix albums carry the weight of both their source material and the expectations of a "new" record. More often than not, the original music culled for remix collections is always better, and the result isn't so much a new album as it is a set of old songs restructured and recontextualized as the artist readies their next proper LP. The Cure is no stranger to the remix album. In 1990, after the success of Disintegration, they released Mixed Up, which featured remixed songs from their first decade. A sequel, Torn Down, played catch-up with the preceding quarter century in 2018. Both albums served a purpose, closing chapters for the group.

Robert Smith has remastered the Cure's 1990 compilation of Remixes, 'Mixed Up', and has expanded the Deluxe Edition with a 2nd disc of long deleted remixes from 1982 to 1990 and a 3rd disc containing 16 brand new Remixes done by himself, 'Torn Down: Mixed Up Extras 2018'.

80 monster hits from the massive 90s on 4CDs, all packaged in an attractive card fold out pocketpack. Includes Britney Speares, Take That, Manic Street Preachers, The Cure and many more!

Collection includes: Left of the Middle (1997); White Lilies Island (2001); Counting Down the Days (2005); Glorious: The Singles 97–07 (2007); Come to Life (2009). By mixing Lisa Loeb/Alanis Morissette-like singing with music that sounds similar to a more mainstream Portishead at times, Natalie Imbruglia became one of the biggest pop sensations in Europe.
