Various Artists - A Strange Play - An Alfa Matrix Tribute To THE CURE (2CD)

Almost 100% unreleased cover versions – 31 tracks in total! Everyone born between 1970 and 1980 has undergone a THE CURE brainwashing, voluntary or not, filled with genius songwriting pearls by Robert Smith & co. Whereas other bands that grew up alongside with them ended up with albums that no longer stand the test of fandom, THE CURE has been able to maintain an overall quality throughout the years, constantly offering unforgettable extended live shows made of nostalgic classic mixed with newer songs, and always reminding us that the unique "THE CURE magic" has remained intact!

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. But some Alfa Matrix bands also dug deeper within THE CURE's huge discography and vast repertoire of songs, covering less ‘obvious’ and ‘classic’ tracks…

THE CURE was, is, and will continue to be a major influence and eference, conscious or not, for many underground artists and music lovers.
