-----------------------------------------------------------
"Over the course of three days, the band had recorded a staggering 27 tracks (...)"

"There was a song called Winter, which is awful. It was part of this four-part concept thing 
we’d done the year before – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. We used to do two sets in 
this pub – at the early evening set, everyone was sober, so we’d try out stuff. Then a year later, 
we’re in the studio and Dempsey says, ‘Well, I quite like the end of that four-part thing we did.
’ I can remember thinking it was toe-curlingly awful and being angry that Parry would even
consider including it on the album – ‘It’s pastoral, it’s a nice counterpoint to the spiky stuff’. 
But it’s fucking hippy, it’s shit! Now, I can probably afford to take the criticism, but then 
I couldn’t."

------------------------------------------------------
"When we started Bloodflowers in Christmas 1998,” recalls Smith, “we wanted hard electro 
pop and did a handful of tracks, including Coming Up * and Possession *, that were used 
loops and synth bass. We sat around taking various kinds of drugs, thinking, ‘This is the future!’ 
Suddenly in 1999, I had a road to Damascus moment. I thought, ‘This is fucking awful, this 
isn’t The Cure.’ I wrote Out Of This World and decided, ‘This is what I want to do’, because 
that song had more emotion than the six tracks we’d recorded up until that point.  
So we binned  the other stuff - it’s hard to kill six songs, because you’re halfway there, 
but it was a decision that had to be made. The others thought I’d lost it, but coming back I
 proved them wrong!"
----------------------------------------
"I've done an edit of "Watching Me Fall" at home, and I got it down to under six minutes 
[from eleven minutes, thirteen seconds], but it's just not the same song."

"I edited the first track, "Out of This World" down from 6:30 to 4:45, but I was told that 
the introduction was still too long for radio. But I like that slow development, and I didn't 
want to impose the three-and-a-half-minute structure on anything I was writing, because 
it just felt stupid. We did a couple of what we'd consider to be pop songs at the demo s
tage and they just sounded so shallow. "

------------------------------------------------------------
"When he began sketching out ideas for the Cure's 13th album, Robert Smith envisioned a 
double album with 13 songs on each disc. The group did record 33 songs between 2006 
and 2008, but once Smith began whittling them down he felt the project worked best as 
a single LP. After many delays, 4:13 Dream finally came out on October 27th, 2008. 
We spoke with Smith months before that, right as he was preparing to head into the studio
 and cobble the whole thing together.(...)
We recorded everything together in the same studio. Probably 75 percent of what we've 
ended up with comes from the very first session we did because it had a really good feel to it. 
Even though we've refined some of it a bit later and changed the tempos and re-recorded, 
the bulk of what we've done has actually been our own demos.
Two of the songs are old demos from the 1980s and one comes from the 1990s. 
Just in the course of completing the extras for some of the album re-releases we did a couple 
of years back I had listened to everything I had. I kept hundreds of cassette tapes and there 
were a couple of things as soon as I heard it I thought, "This could be good. I could hear this 
live doing that." I sort of put them to one side. One of them sounds pretty 1980s. 
You could probably spot it. It turned out really well. It's from the Head on the Door period 
and it's got really bounce to it, but it does sound genuinely 1980s, but I don't think that's a 
bad thing. It's part of our heritage. At the moment the working title is "Kat 8."
One of the songs is taken from a book I read a couple of years ago called The End of Faith 
by Sam Harris which is about the absurdity of organized religion."
