Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The excellent double-CD compilation The Way of Curveis an appropriate and overdue tribute to a group who would still sound about a hundred years ahead of their time if they appeared now. The title is well chosen: Curve were one of those bands whose influence ballooned quickly out of proportion to their record sales. Curve's influences were always pretty obvious--My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain circa "Automatic"--but Curve's deft and dazzling synthesis of electronica, hip-hop and rock & roll would later echo in the works of U2 (particularly on Pop), Garbage and Marilyn Manson, among many others. For a duo whose CVs had previously amounted to an abortive solo career (in the case of Toni Halliday) and a stint as Eurythmics' bassplayer (Dean Garcia), Curve's career amounted to a sensational surprise.

The first disc of this set contains 16 tracks spanning Curve's canon from 1990 until the present day, the second a selection of rarities and unreleased recordings. Particular highlights of the latter include Curve's faintly terrifying cover of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", a duet with the late Ian Dury on Dury's own "What a Waste" and a Kevin Shields remix of "Coming Up Roses". --Andrew Mueller
CD Description
A regular fixture of the early nineties indie scene, Curve's unique sound - a mix of indie, goth-rock and electronica -is chronicled for the first time on this two CD set. The album includes tracks from their four studio albums, as well as b-sides and remixes from the likes of Aphex Twin, Lunatic Calm, and former My Bloody Valentine member Kevin Shields.
