The Cure – Never Enough
The Cure – Never Enough
The Cure – Never Enough
Released in September 1990, Never Enough captures The Cure in a particularly energetic and guitar-driven mood, marking an interesting point in the band's development between the atmospheric grandeur of Disintegration (1989) and the more rhythmically adventurous direction explored around Mixed Up (1990).
Written by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson and Boris Williams, the track moves away from some of the band's familiar melancholic textures in favour of a punchier, more immediate alternative rock sound. Its driving rhythm, prominent guitar work and infectious momentum give it a distinctive character within The Cure's catalogue. The extended Big Mix, produced and mixed with Mark Saunders, gives the track additional room to develop, making this an especially appealing version for fans of the band's alternative and dance-influenced material.
The release also features Harold And Joe, an atmospheric, electronically tinged track that provides an interesting contrast to the energetic guitar work of the lead single. Completing the collection is Let's Go To Bed (Milk Mix), a reworking of the band's 1982 single that revisits their early experiments with electronic pop, synthesizers and playful new wave arrangements.
Issued on Fiction Records, Never Enough reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and became another significant release during an exceptionally productive period for the band. The single also paved the way for Mixed Up, The Cure's 1990 remix collection, which brought together reworked versions of material from across their career.
An essential addition for fans of The Cure's late-eighties and early-nineties output, this release brings together an energetic extended mix, an intriguing additional track and a fresh interpretation of an earlier classic. Equally attractive to alternative rock, post-punk and new wave enthusiasts, it offers an interesting snapshot of the band's willingness to explore different musical directions.
