The Cure Releases 24-Track Remix Album Donating Royalties to War Child

The Cure's 2025 remix album 'Mixes of a Lost World' offers a diverse and ambitious reimagining of their 2024 comeback album 'Songs from a Lost World,' featuring 24 tracks curated by Robert Smith and contributions from notable artists such as Paul Oakenfold, Four Tet, Orbital, and Mogwai. The album spans a wide sonic spectrum, from club-ready beats and electronic experimentation to ambient and post-rock soundscapes, showcasing distinct interpretations of the original eight songs. Critics highlight the album's balance between inventive reinterpretations and moments of repetition, with standout remixes like Orbital's electro anthem version of 'Endsong' and Four Tet’s glitchy take on 'Alone.' The project is also notable for its charitable aspect, with all profits going to the UK educational NGO War Child, underscoring the band's goodwill. As a deluxe 3LP vinyl edition with heavyweight black bio vinyl and a foldout poster, the release appeals to collectors and longtime fans, while continuing The Cure's legacy of innovation and cultural influence in alternative rock music. This remix collection builds on the band’s prior remix works, offering a fresh, multifaceted perspective on their recent material.
