Joy Division
The Cure – Band Review
It feels like yesterday when I heard the music of The Cure for the first time. And even if it has been over twenty years I still remember with the same nostalgia and sentimentality. Perhaps because The Cure has produced a unique post-punk psychedelic euphoria and a reaction chain that incredibly rare shivered my spine. Perhaps because The Cure bridged the gap between punk and pop, they have managed their ways his sadness and anger, they have created their own style to create armies of fans and imitators worldwide. The Cure have built their myth selectively using ingredients of their work and their lives, and they became a real cure for the souls of millions of people who have cried, laughed, danced, and passed nights of endless reflection on the meaning of life and the dark side of things.
Robert Smith, himself a personality dark, melancholic, odd, strange, unstable, had all the virtues that a person should have in order to create artistically. His revelations and incredible special way of pronouncing soon idolized the eyes of fans of The Cure and has been the vehicle of his musical explorations and one of punk's most important position in history music. The Cure was an entire generation with their music, its vanguard, uniqueness and became an attitude of life of the young generation 80s.
In the early years, Smith's melancholy was reflected in his verses dark. It was the dominant figure of the group, composer and singer. The first award for the group was rewarded for Melody Maker in a contest for new bands. The Easy Cure received a new name and began their magical journey of absolute creation that has swept like a magnate psychedelic, pop, dark gothic, punk and rock sounds to convert the sound of The Cure. During this trip, the group has produced records that have shaken the world audience such as "Boys Do not Cry" "pornography", "Disintegration" and many others with songs that literally brought up and stigmatized generation 80s and 90s.
The success of the treatment is also attributed to the fact that the group is not a one-dimensional Goth-punk. The Cure is the post punk of "Three Imaginary Boys", the funk of "Hot Hot Hot" pop "Close To Me" and the overflowing love of "Just Like Heaven". Even in their darkest moments of "faith" or "disintegration", they are more influenced by French Existentialism ( "Killing an Arab "is based on" Stranger "by Albert Camus) by the German roots of the Bauhaus and The Sisters of Mercy, which seems to Berlin during the third Reich. The only group that could share the feeling of loneliness and isolation is Joy Division. Even after the suicide of Ian Curtis and the rebirth of the group as New Order, Joy Division, suffering from a one-dimensional style, where they can not escape, and they cover themselves with a new name, while the fathers of dance music. Instead, the Cure for the various styles of music and produce great songs.
Whatever how the music industry pours on the glamorous figure of Robert Smith, the dark side of the music is dark. Robert never wanted to see the side happy life, at least musically, its 25 years of being with The Cure is a vortex of melancholy and sadness, which captures the soul and makes us think, open our minds, see life from a different angle, the value of our time and priorities set. Lyrics Smith we practice the emptiness of bullshit fashion, but fortunately for us all. And He is the greatest contribution of the cure to society: they have created some great thinkers.
About the Author
I work as a financial and investment advisor but my passion is writing, music and photography. Writing mostly about finance, business and music, being an amateur photographer and a professional dj, I am inspired from life.
Being a strong advocate of simplicity in life, I love my family, my partner and all the people that have stood by me with or without knowing. And I hope that someday, human nature will cease to be greedy and demanding realizing that the more we have the more we want and the more we satisfy our needs the more needs we create. And this is so needless after all.

Substance $18.96 It’s a simple concept–the first dozen singles by New Order collected, a couple of them rerecorded–but it’s also a totally entertaining seven-year history of the band that married British post-punk alienation to the relentless hedonism of the dance floor. The band’s hits were always deeply unconventional (like the haunting “Blue Monday,” essentially a seven-minute drum machine test with a short l… |

Closer $5.31 In retrospect, the second and final album by this Manchester postpunk band seems to point straight at singer Ian Curtis’s suicide, which happened a few months before it was released. The band’s reverberating mesh of minor-key lines and Curtis’s tremorous bass voice are doomy enough on their own, and attention to the words reveals references to blacker-than-black stories by J.G. Ballard and Joseph … |

Control (The Miriam Collection) $13.97 In his elegiac debut, Anton Corbijn combines the music film with the social drama to stunning success. Based on Deborah Curtis’s clear-eyed biography, Touching from a Distance, Control recounts the wrenching tale of a working-class lad about to hit the highest highs only to be waylaid by the lowest lows. Born and raised in Macclesfield, a suburban community outside Manchester, Ian Curtis (newcomer… |

It all centers around the record label that spawned these bands, Factory Records, and its impresario To… |

Joy Division (The Miriam Collection) $14.22 While Michael Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People took on impresario Tony Wilson and Anton Corbijn’s Control concentrated on singer Ian Curtis, Grant Gee’s Joy Division opts for non-fiction over biopic. Together, the three films create a multi-dimensional portrait of Manchester in the post-punk era. Curtis’s minimalist quartet arose simultaneously as a product of and a reaction to their industrial… |
