Originally a Goth-flavored post-punk outfit, the Cure evolved into one of the truly seminal bands of the '80s, and ultimately one of modern rock's most celebrated and influential acts. Guided by creative visionary Robert Smith, the Cure's signature sound balances a dreamy pop savvy with a dark, brooding majesty and fuses superbly crafted, literate songs with a feverish emotional intensity. The band's early catalog-newly remastered and expanded wtih a wealth of rarities-is a series of masterpieces that laid the groundwork for their phenomenal and enduring popularity.

The Cure 在1989年推出了这张大热门专辑《Disintegration》。《Disintegration》同时也是 Robert Smith“悲情三部曲”的第二部(第一部是《Pornography》，第三部是《Bloodflowers》)，显得黑暗诱人，带着神秘和忧郁，整张专辑有着催眠曲一样的感觉，没有了乐队以前的黑暗绝望的作风，尽管专辑的基调比以前更为忧郁。The Cure 的音乐罕见的变得迷人了起来。好像在无垠的大海里，仰望夜空闪亮的星光，慢慢下沉，痛苦浸透，安详地窒息。铺天盖地的深蓝色键盘，孤寂而灿烂的吉他，黑暗中幻化出彩色光芒的贝司，沉稳压抑而华丽眩目的鼓，还有 Robert Smith 凄美冷艳的歌声......

《自我技术》是一张原创唱片，共收录了九首原创歌曲以及一首儿歌改编歌。唱片名称《自我技术》源自于哲学家福柯的哲学概念，意为通过自身努力与自我观察，来提高自我修养以及哲学内涵。我们希望通过对成长过程的回忆与观察，让听众重新发现曾经错过的青春与爱情，激励人们对生活美好的向往，建立积极健康的生活目标。同时也包含了一些对当下我们不适当的浪费，对环境的破坏，以及对爱情的不尊重做出了一些控诉，希望通过音乐的力量可以让我们的世界变得更加的美好。

Happy? benefits from some relative stability in the Public Image Limited lineup, keyboardist Lu Edmonds (the Damned and 3 Mustaphas 3), guitarist John McGeoch (Magazine and Siouxsie & the Banshees), drummer Bruce Smith (the Pop Group and Rip Rig & Panic), and muscular Yank bassist Allan Dias are a solid unit, forming something of a post-punk supergroup. Originally released in 1987, this re-issue shows how John Lydon had created a tight band that produced an undercurrent of off-center subversion and dub-styled percussion sound.
