About this album
Mixed Up is The Cure at its most dancefloor-focused, recasting familiar songs as a sleek remix compilation that underlined the band’s reach beyond post-punk. Issued in 1990, it gathers extended and reworked versions of key singles such as Close to Me, Lullaby, Lovesong and A Forest, reshaping them through house-leaning and electronic textures without losing Robert Smith’s melodic core. The set reflected the band’s late-1980s success and their openness to club culture, arriving as alternative rock increasingly crossed into pop and dance audiences. Rather than a standard greatest-hits package, it shows how The Cure’s songs could be transformed for new settings while remaining unmistakably theirs.
