Curve / Best Of Compilation


 "Heavy bass and beats and densely-layered guitar tracks set against Toni Halliday's sometimes airy, sometimes intense vocals" (WP)

Curve's musical style might be described as a mix of pop-rock with a dash industrial, mostly noisy, dark and gloomy, yet never depressive.
When a friend of mine introduced me to "Come Clean" in '98, I was consequently searching for more Curve stuff, but couldn't find anything but the "Cuckoo" album, which, compared to "Come Clean", I found rather disappointing. So, after a while, I lost track and forgot about Curve until,
just recently, another friend showed me "The Way Of Curve".
I was 'in it' again, but this time I made extensive (ab)use of the webs to collect anything I could find...

 The following compilation exceeds CD capacity by ca. 8 seconds. Unless one wants to edit the silence at the start and ending of each track, one of the two last tracks has to be dismissed (hence called 'Optional Bonus Track'). But then again, who still burns CD's anyway? Good thing, they're all mp3's, innit?
