Description
31-track tribute CD of The Cure by some of the biggest industrial music artists.
Today the Alfa Matrix label roster is paying homage to this great and unique band: THE CURE, choosing classic radio hits but also songs that are less known to the public-at-large but which deserve even more to be heard again, showing that the songs written by Robert Smith and current/ex-members also lend themselves to different music style treatments... All electronic music genres have their very own ambassadors on this 31-track double CD compilation from electro dance to pop rock through dark elektro and modern EBM. Compiled by and for THE CURE fans, 'A Strange Play - a tribute to The Cure' will offer you astounding interpretations of classic hits like 'A Forest' (MARI CHROME), 'Just Like Heaven' (LOVELORN DOLLS), 'Charlotte Sometimes' (KANT KINO), 'Lullaby' (CYNICAL EXISTENCE), 'The Walk' (STAR INDUSTRY), 'The Lovecats' (JUNKSISTA), 'Fascination Street' (ZOMBIE GIRL), 'Lovesong' (SEBASTIAN KOMOR), 'Close To Me' (METROLAND), 'Pictures Of You' (DIFFUZION), 'Why Can't I Be You' (PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE), etc. But some Alfa Matrix bands also dug deeper within THE CURE's huge discography and vast repertoire of songs, covering tracks like 'In Your House' (ALIEN VAMPIRES), 'Jumping Someone Else's Train' (KANT KINO), 'Cold' (TOTEM OBSCURA), 'The Drowning Man' (TECHNOIR), 'A Strange Day' (AIBOFORCEN), Lament (MONDTRÃâUME), 'The Figurehead' (SCHWARTZBLUT), 'A Night Like This' (XMH), 'The Baby Screams' (ARMAGEDDON DILDOS), 'Fight' (I:SCINTILLA), 'Anniversary' (AESTHETISCHE), 'Burn' (HELALYN FLOWERS & ESSENCE OF MIND), 'Friday I'm In Love' (COSMIC ARMCHAIR), 'Prayers For Rain' (HALO IN REVERSE & REGENERATOR), 'Disintegration' (AVARICE IN AUDIO), 'Trust' (ACYLUM), 'All Cats Are Grey' (AIBOFORCEN), or yet 'Sleep When I'm Dead' (NEIKKA RPM).
