Join me on a candid, track-by-track journey through The Cure's brand new 2025 remix album, 'Mixes Of A Lost World.' In this episode, I share my honest, fan-driven review of all 24 remixes from their acclaimed 'Songs of a Lost World' LP.

From the initial disappointment with the early singles (looking at you, Paul Oakenfold and Four Tet!) to the unexpected, genre-bending triumphs by Meera, Âme, and Mental Overdrive, this album is a true mixed bag. We'll explore the moments where remixers bravely transformed The Cure's sound into 'Ibiza tunes' and 'uplifting bangers,' and even where some 'out-Cured The Cure' by hitting on core elements of their sound in new ways.

But not every remix hits the mark. I'll dive into the tracks that fell flat, felt uninspired, or simply couldn't sustain engagement across the album's lengthy runtime. With only 11 out of 24 tracks making my personal 'liked' playlist, we'll discuss whether such a sprawling collection truly serves the music or modern streaming algorithms.

Beyond the music, we'll acknowledge the commendable charitable aspect, with all royalties benefiting War Child UK. Tune in for an unfiltered perspective on this ambitious, yet inconsistent, new chapter from Robert Smith and co.
