THE CURE, "Faith" (The peak of their career, in my opinion. It's the most sad record I've ever heard..And among the most beautiful)

"All Cats Are Grey" is BRILLIANT!!! You're the first person I've heard mention "Faith" by the Cure. All of side one is awesome. What good moody music should be.
Not to mention "The Drowning Man"! Brings tears to my eyes, every time I hear it.. I'm glad someone else has an exquisite taste! :) This is also a good album to hear the difference between analog and digital.. Listen to the CD and you'll hear a really dull and lifeless production.. Listen to the old 1981 vinyl on a good set and Cure explodes into your living room, full with energy and luster! While on that topic.. By all means, get the original black vinyl version of Tangerine Dream's "Poland" (not the picture disk set, it sounds terrible like most picture disks) .. Now if that isn't analog magic I don't know what is!! The CD version, again, is totally flat and lacks all the magic and electricity of the original vinyl set... You should be able to pick it up on the Jive Electro label for $10 or so if you shop around! Have fun :) Peo
