The Cure Launch A New Website And Stream 20 Unreleased Tracks

The Cure is magic, and for those of us who know a thing or two about The Cure’s particular brand of magic, the best news ever has just come down the pike.

Accordong to Slicingupeyeballs.com: “The Cure today launched a special standalone website dedicated to the upcoming Disintegration: Deluxe Edition that features videos, liner notes and photos — plus streaming audio of 20 additional demos and live tracks that won’t be on the 3CD set when it arrives June 8.”

This gift sent down from the musical heavens is called Alternative Rarities 1988-1989.

Here’s more info straight from Slicingupeyeballs.com:

“Dubbed Alternative Rarities 1988-1989, the collection of unreleased tracks — which are in addition to the 20 outtakes already appearing on the upcoming reissue (see that tracklist here) — can be streamed at TheCureDisintegration.com or, for the moment anyway, downloaded from a link provided to our friends at Chain of Flowers.

The set features 13 of Robert Smith’s home and full-band demos, three studio mixes and four live cuts, including a recording of “Faith” from a 1989 concert in Rome. The rest of the tracks are either songs that ended up on Disintegration, became B-sides or are leftover session material, including a different version of outtake “Delirious Night” than appears on the Deluxe Edition and two previously unheard full-band jams: “Tuned Out on RTV5″ and “Fuknnotfunk,” an odd foray into funk.”

Suh-weeeeeeeeeet!
