Mixes Of A Lost World, conceived and compiled by Robert Smith, is a new remix collection of tracks from The Cure’s acclaimed No.1 2024 album, Songs Of A Lost World.

The 3LP set includes three half speed mastered 180g heavyweight black bio vinyl LPs, a tri-gatefold printed sleeve, and a large foldout poster; the triple deluxe CD has an 8-panel digisleeve and includes a foldout poster; the limited edition 3MC set has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip and is exclusive to The Cure store.
The 2LP/2CD/2MC edition features the ‘Remixers’ tracks only and comes as a black vinyl 2LP with a gatefold sleeve; a double CD in six-panel digisleeve includes foldout CD poster; the limited edition double cassette has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip is also exclusive to The Cure store.
The Cure Mixed Up
Speaking about Mixes Of A Lost World Robert Smith says: “Just after Christmas I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs Of A Lost World tracks and I really loved them. The Cure has a colourful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others. This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all eight songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for. Giving our recording royalties from the project to War Child helps make Mixes Of A Lost World an even more special release.”
Andy Vella, a long-time Cure collaborator, has ‘remixed’ the artwork for the album, which as with Songs Of A Lost World, features ‘Bagatelle’, a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.
