talking about mixes and cd's etc. I wonder ,how many of you really bought this release back in 2008 (16 years ago) ?
Won't be surprised if i and perhaps Fabien G would have been the Only One(s) who did so. And i won't accept the excuses of them (remixes) not to be good enough... Ouh how i hate moaning.
I didn't buy it when it was out but I got it for Xmas a couple of years ago.
It's not their best.... tactful words.... but it is part of the collection!
I think scattering the releases and mixes on different formats only aids piratism. Blu ray, cd, digital download, vinyls. Only collectors buy all those, and few have the equipment to play all those as intended. So people start to look for those on the web for free.
Agreed, and while I have no beef with those who collect, I think a lot of folks snap these up solely to resell and jacked up prices.
If the well known Trilogy of RS's which included Pornography~Disintegration~Bloodflowers could have been 'today' with the current discography Faith~Disintegration~Songs Of A Lost World ?

After listening to nearly all formats and masters, the half speed mastering is the best rendition to my ears. Just need to listen to the cassette which is supposed to sound really great too.
I recieved a big parcel today, it was quite exciting! i was surprised on the different formats to see different little stickers reading made in France, or UK, or Germany, whereas I bought it all from the official shop, so I thought it would all be made in UK. Surprised also to not see any sticker on the half-speed mastered double LP stating that is that.
And yes figie, I did buy Hypnagogic States as soon as it was released, as any Cure-fan should have! Remember the question 'what is a real Cure fan'? That's it, the ones who bought Hypnagogic States! ^^ And if you love exploding head syndrome then you're really Cure-fan #1!

That EP is dreadful. I have not digitized it and lost the bonus track along the way. There was an opportunity to provide something of worth in that release but the result was far from it.
