Well, this is good news to me. side-line.com is reporting on both a new box set of b-sides and rarities and a new CD from the Cure due out in Summer 2004. The Cure are to release a 4-disc rarities boxset, entitled "Join the Dots: B-Sides and Rarities, 1979-2001 (The Fiction Years)" on January 27th.

But, I'd tend to agree that it'd be better off with the "scene" staying underground as who needs every 16 year old with black hair dye and a guitar filling the airwaves with goth-lite as they call it in the article. Oh well, time will tell...

I'm pleased to announce that it has been made official that a remix that I did for a Tristraum song called "Shiver" will be included on their upcoming MCD with me listed as an established remixer with the likes of Assemblage 23 and Echo Image . I've definitely enjoyed working with Tristraum and enjoyed remixing their song, so it should be exciting to hear all of the other remixes, I've heard some, but not all of them, and it should be stellar.
