Cuckoo

Limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on pink & purple marbled 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Curve were an English alternative rock and electronic music duo from London, formed in 1990 and split in 2005. Following the success of Curve's debut full-length Doppelgänger, which nearly hit the U.K. Top 10, the British group went in a darker, moodier direction with 1993 follow-up Cuckoo. Opener "Missing Link" is furious and aggressive, coming closer to Ministry-style industrial than the group's previous work, but other songs are slower, more atmospheric, and a bit more experimental. "Superblaster" is a bit closer to the poppiness of Doppelgänger's highlights and was released as a single. Cuckoo still stands among the band's best work.
