On the 35th anniversary of 'thecure In Orange,' moonagedemon reflects on the concert film as an exemplar of the band's radical vulnerability:
gained the group traction with the alternative music press and allowed them to amass a cult following. After the release of 1982’s, which remains part auditory assault and part emotional meltdown put to record, Smith reached a personal breaking point and dissolved the band … until he decided it wasn’t dissolved any longer.
In 1984, The Cure combined their new fondness for all things off-kilter and candy-colored with the sounds of their past to create the bizarre , arguably the perfect blend of their dark intensity with listener-friendly hooks. It provided their first taste of international success, stands for many as their best record pre-, and made for perhaps the purest representation of the band we had seen thus far.
It comes down to that compulsive urge to record those extreme highs and lows as if to prove that they happened, that the searing catharsis was better than feeling nothing, and to have a crowd of thousands witness this indisputable truth.
