I love a remix and remixes of The Cure have always been worth the price of admission, so much so that Robert Smith endorsed a whole album of 'em with 1990's Mixed Up.
When The Cure's back catalogue reissue campaign reached Mixed Up in 2018, not content with just including a bonus disc of previously released 12" versions, Robert Smith turned in a whole new album's worth of his own remixes called Torn Down.
Today's hour-long selection includes 12 x 12" mixes, spanning 1981 to 2018, none straying too far from The Cure's blueprint sound.
1) Primary (Extended) (12" Version By Mike Hedges & Robert Smith) (1981)
2) To The Sky (Resurrection Mix By John M. Pillin Jr.) (1990)
3) In Your House (Black Sand Extension) (2010)
4) Hello I Love You (Unreleased Psychedelic Mix) (Cover of The Doors) (1990)
5) Never Enough (Time To Kill Mix By Robert Smith) (2018)
6) Gone! (Critter Mix By Jeff Newell) (1996)
7) Just One Kiss (Remember Mix By Robert Smith) (2018)
8) Fascination Street (Extended Remix By Robert Smith & Mark Saunders) (1989)
9) Lost (Found Mix By Robert Smith) (2018)
10) This Is A Lie (Ambient Mix By Tim Palmer) (1996)
11) From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea (Love In Vain Mix By Robert Smith) (2018)
