Description
The bass throb in One Hundred Years here hits like a slow panic, then lets the room bloom. The Cure’s Paris (2LP) captures the band in 1992 leaning into the darker corners of their catalog, recorded in front of a crowd that actually breathes with the songs. The Figurehead feels cavernous and unhurried, while Play For Today turns into a warm call-and-response with the audience.
Spread across two records, this pressing gives the guitars more space and the low end sits deeper, so Simon Gallup’s lines anchor instead of blur. Transitions feel unforced, which suits the set’s shadowy pace. It is the live Cure document you put on in a quiet Melbourne evening and let the room go dim.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Cure records online with us. File it beside Joy Division for the mood, but the Cure’s melancholy here is more luminous than bleak. Crowd ambience is present without smothering detail, and Robert’s vocal on The Figurehead lands close and human. Play For Today still brings the communal jolt, a reminder that their severity always carried heart.
This reissue’s sequencing flows beautifully over four sides, making the concert feel complete rather than excerpted.
